Baby Wearing for the win!

I thought I knew about baby wearing... until I tried to do it with my oldest daughter. I watched a video about using a "ring sling" while pregnant. 4 kids later, and I've tried all kinds of carriers. My local baby-wearing group provided guidance and options for all types of carriers. Here are some benefits for babies and parents:

Benefits for babies:

• Carried babies cry less

• Carried babies are calmer and more content

• Carried babies sleep more peacefully

• Carried babies gain weight better

• Carried babies have better digestion

• Carried babies develop better

Benefits for parents

• Carrying babies frees your hands

• Carrying babies makes you physically stronger

• Carrying babies allows you to do house work or work from home
