Unfortunately the popular series of books, “For Dummies,” has not come out with a practical guide for Babywearing. Babywearing is the term that has been coined for wearing your baby in an infant sling or fabric baby carrier. Fortunately though there are several books out there that cover the topic and give you practical instructions and advice on how to wear your baby. There are so many great reasons to wear your baby. For example, 1) Wearing your baby promotes learning, 2) wearing your baby promotes bonding, 3) baby slings are a safe place for your child, 4) babies worn in slings are happier and cry less, 5) babies and toddlers appreciate the security of the baby sling carrier 6) Babywearing is fun! So actually wearing your baby in an infant sling, baby carrier, or wrap is smart. You don’t really need a book. Just join in by getting a baby sling. They come with instruction manuals or DVDs. Put it on and just practice.
