Wearing your baby is smart parenting.
Worn babies:
•Cry less.Research says that babies who are carried cry 43% less than overall, and 54% less during the evening hours. In indigenous cultures where babies are carriedalmost continuously, it is highly unlikely to hear a crying baby.

•Have increased mental, emotional and physical development.
Babies who are carried spend more time in a “quiet alert state”, which is the best state for infant learning. They are also quickly able to develop a sense of security and trust. Because of this secure attachment these babies tend to
become independent at an earlier age. By being held close to the caregiver, the newborn soaks in the caregiver’s body rhythms, which in turn helps regulate her own heartbeat and breathing. Research shows that this helps her adapt
easier to life outside the womb, it even means lesser risk for SIDS.

•Actually develop healthy spines.
A sling will conform to a baby’s body, eliminating pressure on a baby’s developing spine.

It also makes life easier for the parent because:

•It’s easier to breastfeed. Using a sling means discreet and hands free nursing.

•The baby can be brought anywhere.No more huge strollers to lug around and maneuver along narrow aisles or
corridors.

•The sling distributes the baby’s weight across the wearer’s back and so the child feels lighter.

With the baby in the sling, the mom’s hands are no longer tied down and so she can do
her day-to-day chores or even go shopping!

• Pay attention to your baby at all times.
• Do not cook with your baby in the sling. Fabrics are not flame-retardant. It would actually be better if you do not consume any hot liquids or beverages while wearing your baby in it.
• Do not use a sling in place of a car seat when in a motor vehicle.
• It is not recommended to carry babies weighing over 35 lbs. The sling won’tbreak but your back might.
