BABY WEARING:
The concept of baby wearing isn't new. Many cultures around the world carry their babies using some sort of carrier, usually fashioned out of a part of the mother's clothing or a long piece of cloth. In fact, the term "baby wearing" was coined by Dr. William Sears, co-author of The Baby Book, after observing content babies and their mothers in some of these cultures.
For those of us living in twenty-first century USA, it is not a necessity that we carry our infants. Why would we want to carry our babies on our bodies when there are so many other convenient ways to transport them?
Benefits:
While there are many proven benefits to baby wearing, the two most notable, and probably the most important to you are:
*BABIES who are carried like this are MORE CONTENT
*Wearing Baby makes life EASIER for the PARENT.
And, if these two aren't enough:
*Carrying Baby is great for intellectual and motor development
*Mothers who wear babies will have an increase in 'the mothering hormone,' prolactin. This, in turn, helps to nurture bonding, and makes for more successful breastfeeding and early parenting
* Baby wearing stimulates Baby's immune system, making for a healthier baby.
*Baby wearing is an excellent way for Baby to bond with anyone wearing him or her.

““I’m not sure if you remember me, but you totally changed my life—in a good way ;). You made me the two ring slings when I was pregnant and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me, so I just had to write you after all this time to thank you.” ”
