Bond with Your Baby and Still Get Things Done

Do you find yourself not being able to get things done because your baby wants to be held?  Do you ever wish that you had another arm one to carry the baby, and the other two to do the laundry? Tired of lugging around the car seat into stores or the big stroller into tight places?  I sure was! I have been in each of those situations and those same things.  Then I found out about babywearing.  I thought that babywearing was something that the Native Americans did way back when.  But I was wrong.  Babywearing is for moms that want to hold their baby securely as they move about, for dads that want to go hiking with their baby, grandmothers that want to bond with their grandchild, and caretakers that need an extra hand. There are so many reasons to wear your baby in a carrier.

Babywearing

• Is convenient-you can do laundry, take a quick walk, and go to the store all while holding your baby
• Secure-your baby is held snug against your body whether in a sling, pouch, or wrap
• Helps with gas and colic-being held against you and the movement helps with those common tummy problems
• Helps baby fall asleep faster
• Gives baby confidence-your baby feels safe, secure, and that their needs are met the building blocks of confidence
• Helps you and your baby bond
• Reduces crying-studies show that babies that are worn have fewer crying times.

So what are you waiting for?  Get out and go have some fun with your baby!
