What The Heck Is Baby Wearing Anway?
When a baby is screaming one will do almost anything to make them stop, this includes wearing them. The very last thing I want to do after carrying this bundle for 40 weeks is carry her a little more but here I find myself ready to strap on the sling. I have heard this referred to as the fourth trimester.
Over the past 2 weeks I have learned a thing or two about this whole baby wearing thing and it's not bad stuff. The benefits of wearing ones baby are numerous. Less crying, better baby bonding, less crying, etc. Here are some resources for this new craze in parenting. Enjoy !
