~Babywearing Benefits
We as parents are responsible for the health and happiness of our children. With a Magic Sling carrier you can provide the closeness and attention that your baby craves and deserves, while keeping your hands free to go about the daily grind. Instinctually, we all know that babies need to be held, and we need to feel their closeness too!
Babies and parents can enjoy many benefits from babywearing:
- less crying, happier baby, more content
- may help soothe colicky babies
- helps integrate baby into family social structure
- facilitates breastfeeding
- helps baby develop proper attachment to parents, which aides in self esteem and independence
- helps with bonding
- protects baby from strangers, overstimulation, and boredom
- less bulky than toting around strollers and bucket car seats (ALWAYS USE CARSEATS IN VEHICLES!)
- parents can attend to household duties, tend to older children, etc. hands free
- helps make shopping easier- less contact with cart- less 'grabby' in a carrier- more content
This medical study reinforces the belief that babies benefit from being carried. The study concluded that, "The relative lack of carrying in our society may predispose to crying and colic in normal infants." (Pediatrics:1986 May;77(5):641-8.)
