Benefits of Baby Wearing

Why carry your baby (or "wear" him or her in a sling, wrap or other carrier)? Here are some of the top reasons:

Less Crying - Your baby will cry less on average than those that are not carried. Research has shown as much as 43% less.
External Regulating System – your baby has spent nine months in tune with your rhythmic motions. Your walk, your heartbeat, your breath have been a part of your baby’s life for nine months. When your baby is worn on your chest, they feel comforted by the familiar motion and sounds.
Smarter Baby – Your baby will see the world as you see it. They will be spending more time in a quiet, alert state which is the ideal state for learning. Research has also shown that babies that are carried show enhanced visual and auditory alertness.
Emotional Development – Babies that are carried develop a sense of trust and security. They typically become independent at an earlier age. They are intimately connected to their mothers and father’s world learning and being exposed to environmental stimuli.
