Babywearing can benefit the whole family! Here are just a few benefits of babywearing you may or may not have thought of:

· Your baby will be able to see, hear, touch and smell, the one thing that she loves most….YOU or your husband!

· Daddy will be able to participate in the fun. Babywearing is NOT just for moms. Dads find that babywearing is an awesome tool to help them bond with baby (especially if they are feeling left out due to your nursing)!

· Being with your baby will help him or her to be happier and more alert.

· Your baby will have the stimulation that she craves most.

· Your baby will have help with regulating breathing and body temperature.

· You will be with your baby more, promoting bonding, which, in turn, helps you learn to read your baby’s cues.

· Your baby can breastfeed in any babywearing carrier (including a Mei Tai, Pouch, Podeagi, Ring Sling, and Wrap’s).

· Baby Carriers make it possible to go out with your new baby, and not be afraid of other people’s hands or germs coming into direct contact with your new little one.

· You will have wonderful cuddle time that nothing can replace.

· You can smell that sweet new baby smell and kiss that sweet new baby head any time you want!

· You will have the ability to run after other older children while still being connected to your new addition.

· You will have the ability to get out of the house and do things, allowing you to get back to life easier.

· You will have access to places that strollers will not work, such as escalators, gravel paths, the beach, ect – (the list goes on and on).

· Going to amusement parks, church and petting zoo’s becomes so much easier. You don’t have to find somewhere to ‘park’ the stroller and hope that no one takes it.

· Like it or not, we carry our kids A LOT. Babywearing allows you to you to carry them, and still manage to live too.

· New babies LOVE to sleep on momma and dad. It is wonderful to be able to put them in a carrier, and not worry so much about things like SIDs. (While babywearing cannot guarantee SIDS will not or cannot happen, it is very rare, simply because they are so close to you, and you’re not only able to see them but feel them as well. So making sure they are breathing and moving becomes a lot easier than if they are in a crib, swing, or bed.)

As babies turn into toddlers, the benefits of babywearing turns a corner. Most toddlers don’t do much sleeping on us anymore, or need to be held constantly…BUT, the babywearing benefits are similar.

· You can keep a close eye on those wandering feet in parks, zoo’s, air ports, etc.

· You can still nurse in any babywearing carrier.

· Walking in the mall has never been easier.

· You continue to bond with your little one.

· No need to try to figure out how to maneuver a big bulky stroller in and out of garments hanging in the stores.

· It becomes easier to control what little hands can reach.

· Meetings or gatherings become easier when baby can sleep, or nurse in a carrier.
