Closeness of babywearing

cuddlywrap-over-shoulder.jpg  Babywearing brings closeness.  Holding or wearing your baby is a fabric baby carrier (also called baby slings or wraps) brings you closer to your baby in many ways.  Obviously you are physically closer because you are holding you baby against your body but also you become closer emotionally.  For example, close contact with your baby enhances the caregiver’s awareness of baby’s needs and cues.  Crying is a late cue.  So it makes sense why studies have shown that wearing your baby decreases crying.  In addition, consistent, close contact with your baby stimulates the release of hormones that promote a care-giving response.  These hormones provide a sense of calm and well-being which enhance the building of intimate, loving family relationships.

    My baby couldn’t stand being apart from me, but carrying her all the time is really tiresome for me. So I’m really grateful I found this site. The baby slings and carriers I found here made it easier for me carry my baby conveniently….
