Babies learn best when they are in a quiet, alert state. Since babies who are held or worn in a fabric baby carrier or sling are more content and cry less this gives them an opportunity to learn from their environment. A caregiver can add to baby’s learning by talking to him or her. When you wear or hold your baby you can sing to and talk to him or her more. This also helps with learning and language development. So follow your instincts and hold your baby as much as is mutually desireable. You’ll be helping him more than you know.
