Babywearing means just what
it sounds like...you "wear" your baby. In cultures all
over the world, babies have been worn in all kinds of
carriers/slings since basically the beginning of time.
Not only is it convenient for moms, who have their hands
free...but there is growing evidence that this actually
is highly beneficial to the babies as well.
Babies who are worn, or
carried a lot, tend to cry less. The bounce and sway of
the mom or other caregiver as they go about their daily
chores, lulls the baby to sleep or into a state of calm.
Baby is happy, Mommy is happy, the whole family is
happy!
Contrary to popular
cultural belief...you CANNOT "spoil" a baby by holding
them too much! In fact, you actually do the baby great
emotional harm if you DON'T hold them, especially while
they are little and so greatly NEED your close physical
contact!
This is such an easy
thing to do, wearing your baby...and there are so very
many options out there for doing this. Below are some
links to my favorite baby carrier/slings and also some
informative links to more information on the benefits of
babywearing.
And here's some more links to some other vendors that
