The Babywearing Blog

Here are a few quotes from the article and if I might say a mom who gets it. She starts off saying: "It just makes sense to wear your baby" ... "They're inside of you for so long, so to transition them to where they're not carried, not held, and spend so much time away from you, doesn't make sense."

The article gives some practical examples of why Babywearing Makes Sense
1. "We travel primarily by bus, so it's a lot easier than the hassle of a stroller,"
2. "If I'm doing housework I can have him next to me, snuggling. He's content, and I'm getting stuff done."
3. "Part of what we learned was that children who are carried cry less, have less instances of colic, and obviously in very traditional cultures, it's a way of mothers being able to work and still keep their children close - so that appealed to me,"
4. "Babies see what's going on around them, they're taking part in the conversation, they can see the pace of your day,"
5. "I was just astounded at how happy the baby was in the sling and how you could take the baby anywhere,"

None of her five points are ground breaking, but they just show how practical babywearing is.
