Family mode, communication and habits, values and traditions are the first and main example for a child, he absorbs this information with the mother’s milk, from the first days of life. Therefore it is very important to wear babies in your arms. In antiquity in the natural conditions of habitat, it was possible to allow the child to be on the earth only after the beginning of independent movement. Previously, it is held in the hands or in slings – in turn, this contributes to its better mental and physical development.

A scarf, a hem of the skirt – the history of their application for carrying children begins from time immemorial. One of the first images of a patchwork sling of this purpose dates back to the first millennium BC. Sling-scarf and ergo-backpack are modern convenient and physiological carries for children from birth.
The main way to tie a sling scarf is to “place a cross over your pocket”: place the middle of the scarf in front of the chest, wind the ends behind your back, cross and throw them on your shoulders, place the child in your “pocket” horizontally, diagonally or vertically (favorite position of the children), straightening out cloth, cross the ends in front, draw the cloth under the knees of the baby and tie the double knot behind the back.

Depending on the individual rates of development and maturation, a child gradually begins to show interest in food and water of adults.
First he eats soft fruits, soft or thermally processed vegetables, porridges, then more rigid foods. This helps to strengthen the gums, helps the proper development of the jaws and the growth of the teeth. Children really fine chew with gums, bite off and gnaw with young incisors, learn to drink water from the cup. By the one year the child is able to chew a piece of meat.
