Benefits of Baby Wearing

TheBabyWearer.com is a favorite online resource to learn about all the benefits of baby wearing. You can begin wearing your baby as soon as they are born or when you are comfortable, you can begin when they are older as well. Many carriers and slings are designed to carry a baby up to 40lbs. We often hear Moms say they cannot use a sling as their baby is to chubby or heavy, we believe slings and carriers make it easier than lugging your child on yoiur hip and thus injuring yourself. Wearing your baby makes shopping hands free while keeping your baby close where they want to be, reducing the tears and forming that attachment bond, that we know is so healthy.



We proudly stock Sewfunky Ring Slings in Organic fabrics, which is our preferred carrier, by being the most versitle and natural. By popular demand we will be stocking 2 other popular and fabulous carriers..stay tuned, they are on their way!

If you would like to learn more about Baby Wearing and the different styles of carriers, we have a wonderful expert that works with us. Call us to be added to our list the next class date is TBA..
