Wearing your child, whether he or she is a young infant or a busy toddler, keeps your child close and content. The term that is commonly used to describe wearing your child in a fabric sling is called babywearing. Being close is wonderful for bonding–feeling the warmth of each other. There’s also the contentedness that your child feels by being held–feeling loved. There are so many advantages. If you ever see someone out in public wearing their child this way, it looks so natural. It’s not too difficult. It just takes the right equipment and a little practice. Fortunately there are many comfortable, ergonomic baby carriers and slings on the market now. The practicing is up to you but it’s worth the effort and the rewards will last a lifetime–that special bond between you and your child.
