Why Wear a Baby Sling?
Smart parents know the many benefits of carrying babies in a sling.
Used for centuries by women who needed to get on with their working lives, the baby sling has many practical applications for modern life.
Not only does it allow parents to move around hands free, getting the housework, shopping or other tasks done, wearing a baby in a sling has countless benefits for babies too.
Newborn babies’ needs are simple, but critical. Their emotional needs are every bit as important as their physical need for food and sleep. Wearing a baby close to its parents’ body is one of the best ways to provide a baby with that all-important sense of security, replicating the feeling of safety the baby had while in the womb.
Baby wearing comes with many other advantages. It’s a comfortable and convenient way of carrying a baby, and it’s reassuring for parents to know their baby is safe and that they will not miss any of its cues. And a baby who has its needs met without the need for loud crying is a calmer baby.
Wearing a baby sling can also aid practical parenting. For mothers, they can breastfeed the baby in a sling discreetly and with a minimum of fuss. Some parents also find slings make for a smooth transition to sleep.
For parents with more than one child, wearing a baby sling means they can look after other kids without compromising the attention of one child over another.
