The advantages of baby carrying are numerous for both parents and babies. Please find some of the examples taken from LLLI website: http://www.llli.org/nb/nbbabywearing.html

Why Wear Your Baby in a Sling?

• Babies whose mothers wear them in slings are calmer and cry less.
• It is easy to nurse discreetly when the baby is in a sling as the fabric shields both the baby and the mother from the public view.
• Mothers find it easier to carry on their normal daily activities. Both their hands are free and their babies are quickly soothed. Looking after older children, housework, shopping, walking for exercise and even using computers become more manageable tasks.
• Travelling is easier when babies are tucked securely into slings.

Looking forward to seeing you!
