Babywearing Benefits

• Smarter Babies  When in the security of the wrap your baby enjoys a state of “quiet alertness” and has the advantage of a 180 degree view of her world, increasing her visual and auditory stimulus and giving her more opportunity for interaction with you.

• Better emotional and physical development  The constant contact and reassurance a baby feels when in a wrap will give him a sense of security that will better prepare him to form relationships as an adult. Research has also shown that premature and special needs babies who are held and touched have a faster weight gain and are overall healthier than those who are not.

• Decrease in post-partum depression  The increased physical contact of wearing your baby can lower the incidence of post partum depression by strengthening the maternal bond.

• Independence  According to Harvard researchers when babies are nurtured and held close, rather than developing increased dependence they grow to be more independent.

• Hands Free For You!  Wearing your baby allows you the freedom to take care of other responsibilities while nurturing and caring for his needs.
