Finding A Baby Carrier That Works
"Aw. . . Your baby looks so cozy! I really wanted to hold my baby in one of
those things, but it didn't work for us." I heard comments like this when I
walked around with my little one in a baby sling.
A baby who is snuggled close to mom's heartbeat looks so right. And it just
makes sense for mom to be holding baby hands-free rather than lugging
around a car seat. So why does success with baby carriers elude some
families? Is it just one of those things that works for some people and not for
others?
Before you resign yourself to this conclusion, I want to tell you that I know lots
of parents who have had success with babywearing, and I believe you can,
too. But you must have the two secret ingredients:
1. Good slings: Most department store baby carriers won't cut it. Find a
simply constructed cloth sling, pouch, wrap, or traditionally inspired baby
carrier. And get a reputable brand.
2. Help from experienced babywearing mamas: Chances are someone (your
mother, a professional, a mom friend) taught you how to care for your baby -
feed, bathe, change, etc. Learning to wear baby is no different. It’s easier when you have some help.
