Baby Carriers

Babies love to be held and carried.With some savvy baby carrier designs, we can do this easily, allowing your infant to cuddle into you while having your hands free to do everything else you need to do. Below is a small list of some reasons to carry your baby.

Reasons to Wear Your Baby!

Babies are happier and cry less. - In cultures where babies are always carried in baby slings or fabric carriers crying is measured in minutes, not hours. Baby-wearing is especially useful for colicky or "high need" babies, who are far happier being worn.
Babies benefit from the sense of touch. - touch is essential to physical and emotional development. Studies show that babies who experience more physical contact by being carried or co-sleeping grow better.
Babies learn faster and are more alert. - Baby is stimulated by everything you are doing, and is learning about daily tasks and interactions.
Babies socialize better. - Because baby is always with you, he benefits from your social interactions with other people.
Babies sleep better. - Many mothers find once they start wearing their babies that not only does it keep their babies content, but the constant movement easily lulls them to sleep. Wearing your baby even when asleep often prolongs sleep for those that wake easily.
Helps prevent flat head. - Carrying your baby more often means more time spent upright instead of lying down, which is hard on baby's soft skull.
Wearing a baby is convenient. - When we carry a baby in a sling, we can walk around freely and not have to worry about negotiating steps, crowds or narrow aisles with a stroller. A sling can block out excess stimuli when breastfeeding a distractible baby, and it allows for discreet nursing in public places. Baby-wearing is healthy for you!
Wearing your baby is healthy for you - It can be challenging for new mothers to find time to exercise, but if you carry your baby around with you most of the day or go for a brisk walk with your baby in her sling, you will enjoy the dual benefits of walking and "weightlifting". A long walk in the sling is also an excellent way to help a tired but over-stimulated child fall asleep
Toddlers appreciate the security of the sling - The world can be a scary place for toddlers, who feel more confident when they can retreat to the security of the sling when they need to do so. Toddlers often become over-stimulated, and a ride in the sling helps to soothe and comfort them before (or after!) a "meltdown" occurs. It can be very helpful in places like the zoo, aquarium, or museum, where a small child in a stroller would miss many of the exhibits
