5 Reasons Why Baby Wearing Is So Popular

By: Jen Stoddart Home | Home-and-Family


Everybody's doing it - well moms and dads in increasing numbers are doing it! They are wearing their baby!

Stylish baby carriers have become the latest fashion must-haves for new mom and dads. Celebrities like Brad and Gwen are using them to carry their babes around town.

There are dozens of manufacturers producing high fashion baby slings for today's fashion conscious parents. Using a sling allows a parent to wear the baby - baby has become a new accessory. And what a beautiful accessory it is.

The sale of baby carriers has grown in leaps and bounds in the past few years for a wide range of reasons. Here are 5 reasons why baby wearing is so popular - maybe you want to join the in-crowd?

1. Convenient. Baby wearing is convenient for the parent. It provides freedom for the parent since their hands are free to do other things and at the same time keep a close eye on their infant.

2. Ultra comfortable. Your baby's comfort and yours is very important - and once people start wearing their baby in a carrier they begin to realize how comfortable and secure the carrier can be. The reason for the comfort is that they are designed so that the baby's weight is spread across the back and shoulders of person with the baby - rather than all the weight being focused on arms and back. It makes a huge difference.

3. They can be used when baby is a newborn all the way up to a toddler.

4. Reduces baby crying. A content baby is a happy baby. And a happy baby cries less. Holding a baby close to you increase their contentment - there is no better way to hold a baby close than using a baby carrier.

5. For moms that are breastfeeding their baby a sling carrier makes it easy to breastfeed anywhere with the confidence of knowing that the sling is providing mom and baby with privacy. Baby carriers that you can buy usually have a generous amount of fabric in the "hammock" where the baby is held so that it is very easy to breastfeed on both sides just by moving baby from one side to another without having to take baby out of the wrap

More and more celebrities are having children, and in our celebrity-centric world people watch what they do. And they are using baby slings to wear their baby. So when celebrities are doing it - it logically follows that the general public will follow suit.

And it's not just mom anymore. More and more celebrity dads and the not-so-famous dads are getting in on the convenience and joy of carrying their child in a carrier.
