Aids in baby's development, both physically and emotionally. And did you know that a carried baby is generally calmer thanks to all of her primal/survival needs being met? Decreases risk of SIDS and flat-head syndrome, while promoting neural development, respiratory and gastrointestinal health, and aiding in balance. Allows breastfeeding to be done on the go, and discreetly too, if you want to be covered up. And as an added bonus, breastmilk production is boosted with close contact with baby. Allows parents or caregivers to be "hands-free," while baby is in the carrier, and promotes exploring, discovering and navigating safely and easily without having to maneuver a stroller. Promotes early language development. Babies learn by watching faces, and babywearing puts your little one at conversational height- "the best seat in the house." Allows parents to see more of the world through baby's eyes. And your babies get to discover their new world from the safety and comfort of your body. Fosters a closeness through toddlerhood. Toddlers can be worn too, reminding them of their "home base," and allowing that bond to continue as they grow.
