Baby wearing

So I am proud to say that I have been accused of being a baby wearer. I could careless if I'm implicated of spoiling my babies. As my grandparents always say, "Our kids aren't spoiled they are loved a lot." Baby wearing is a great way to form a bond and experience an overwhelming feeling of constant love. There are many benefits to baby wearing. Babies who are worn by their mothers have been proven to be less fussy babies. Studies have shown that over all they cry much less. Even in the evening hours babies are said to be much more content if they were worn for at least 2 hours during the day. Since, we co-sleep there is hardly a moment when my youngest is put down. Now, this would be exhausting and nearly impossible with out my carriers. My youngest daughter is one of the most easy going and happy babies I know. So this has proven to be true in my experience. Baby wearing promotes healthy, secure attachments between the babies and their caregivers. Physical interaction boosts maternal responsiveness and aids in a baby trusting their caregivers. A mothers scent becomes calming and familiar. Her voice is a beautiful song. Her heartbeat is soothing. Baby wearing benefits a mothers relationship with her young child. To me this is reason enough to hold my babies close to my heart day in and day out.
