Babywearing
“Babywearing” is a term for carrying a baby using a sling or other aid. Babywearing aids allow a parent to carry on with activities, while safely keeping their baby near them. This can be a great asset, particularly with a “colicky” baby, or one that seems to need some extra TLC. Babies can be fed (either by breast or bottle) while in a sling, and a lot of babies like to fall asleep in a sling. As young infants can be carried in a prone, or “lying down” position, the sling does not put extra strain on their developing spine like a regular carrier, which keeps them in a sitting or upright position, can.
Types of Slings
Slings come in many forms, including a ring sling (slung over one shoulder, fully adjustable), a pouch sling (slung over one shoulder, made to fit), or a wrap sling (can be used over one or both shoulders, fully adjustable), and can be used on all infants, from birth to preschool, freeing your hands for other things.
