Give yourself and your child the gift of babywearing!
Baby carrier use in the U.S. has taken off in the last 10 years as parents
and caregivers increasingly realize the benefits of babywearing for both the
adult and the child. The number of fabulous baby carriers out there (with more
popping up every day) can be overwhelming to choose from!
The beauty of having so many options is that there is a baby carrier that
is right for every family. If you have bought or been given a sling, mei tai,
buckle carrier or wrap that just didn't work for you, hope it not lost! You
will be able to find a carrier that meets your needs whether you prioritize
comfort, convenience, versatility, or fashion.
The downside to the baby carrier boom is that some of the most widely available
carriers on the market are not necessarily the best carriers out there, which
increases your risk of buying a carrier that isn't comfortable and thus deciding
that babywearing isn't for you. That's where a little research can go a long
way.
Many people have concerns that wearing their baby will result in a baby becoming
"spoiled" or so used to being carried that they never want to be put down.
