When your baby is about 6-9 months old he or she has good head control and tends to be carried alot on the hip. If an older infant is not crawling yet and many aren’t then his or her caregiver is doing alot of carrying. Wearing your child in a sling on a hip is easy, comfortable, and convenient. The sling distributes the child’s weight nicely across a caregiver’s back to easy the physical demands of lifting and carrying an older infant. I had two big boys and would be exhausted by the end of the day just from all the lifting and carrying. The bond that is built by babywearing is also priceless.
