Happy Babywearing
There are many benefits to both baby and parents of babywearing or sling carrying, here are a few
Research shows that baby wearing…
…promotes good digestion, thereby reducing colic & reflux.
…reduces crying & fussiness.
…provides a rich learning environment.
…stimulates synapses development in the brain, thereby expanding baby’s learning potential.
…decreases stress hormones in baby’s blood stream.
…offers a sense of security, which is vital for self-esteem.
…develops muscles need for sitting, standing and walking.
…stimulates the vestibular system needed for balance.
