cuddle with babyWhile discovering the ideal way to cuddle with your partner can be quite a challenge, cuddling with your newborn or infant is easy as pie.  Newborns and infants love to be held, relishing human contact and the warmth and companionship of mom and dad.  It doesn’t matter so much how you hold your baby; they’re guaranteed to enjoy it, however it’s also important to make the experience as comfortable as possible for the parents.  There are a number of products that will allow you to cuddle your baby as well as tend to errands around town or chores around the house.  You might consider cotton baby carriers; the soft cotton wraps the newborn in a warm, protective layer, while the holder’s shoulders don’t become uncomfortable due to chafing.  The classic infant wrap is another option, acting much like a sheet draped over the parent that cradles their newborn or infant in front of them. 

Your choice should be functional and allow the parent to move freely while supporting the baby enough to where they could fall asleep comfortably in front of you.  Most infant slings, carriers, and wraps also function well as blankets for sitting down.
