For young infants (about 2-6 months old) who are past the newborn stage, being worn in a baby sling carrier meets so many needs and conveniences. First, young infants still like to be held alot. They are getting heavier which can be tiring for mom to be holding them with one arm. They still like the warmth of mom’s body, the feel of her heart beat, and her smell. They can nurse in the sling if they’re breastfed. They have the support of the sling while they continue to gain neck strength and head control. And babywearing continues to foster the parent-infant bond. The Maya Wrap lightly padded sling and the MamaBaby sling are top-of-line ring slings that are perfect for babywearing.
