| Babywearing is the practice of carrying your baby or child in a sling or other type of carrier.
Babywearing allows you to have two free hands to accomplish tasks such as laundry while caring for the baby's need to be held or breastfed. Babywearing offers a safer alternative to placing a car seat on top of a shopping cart. It also allows children to be involved in social interactions and to see their surroundings as an adult would.
Many sling users have found that it is easier on the back and shoulders than carrying their infant in a car seat. The weight of the child is spread more evenly across the upper body.
Slings can also be a fashion statement. They come in many different designs and colors and are available in many different types of materials, including silk, hemp, cotton, wool, fleece, and flax/linen.
There are several different types of baby slings - Ring slings, Wraps, Mei Tei's and Pouch Slings. Browse through our current selection of great slings - some are recommended for beginner babywearers. Once you start using slings, you'll become addicted! I know I love trying new slings!! |
