Why 'wear' my baby?
Because your baby will be happier. Because you will be happier.Babywearing is a marvellous 'new/old' discovery that makes a lot of the problems of parenting reduce or go away.
Babies who are 'worn' are shown to:
Cry less and need less reassurance and attention
- they know mum or dad or grandma is close because they can smell and feel them – they don’t need to cry out to find you
Spend more time in an 'active, alert state' for learning
Enjoy quality time with mums who are depressed
Adapt to life outside the womb more easily
Develop security and trust
