It's all the rage. Famous and not-so-famous moms and dads all over the world are wearing their baby! Are you next?
Baby slings and baby carriers are taking families by storm - they are the newest 'must have' baby gear. And leading the way are famous people like Brad and Angelina - they both wear baby carriers.
Baby has become a new (and beautiful) fashion accessory. There are many types and styles to choose from, including slings, wraps and back frame carriers. And they are created as much for style as they are for comfort and convenience.
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. Comfort. Baby carriers are comfortable for both the baby and for the parent carrying the child. Once you get used to wearing the carrier and see how comfortable they are to wear for you and your baby you will probably wear your carrier a fair bit. Today's modern carriers are ultra comfortable since they are designed to distribute weight across the shoulders and back of the person doing the carrying which greatly enhances the comfort.
3. Carrier can be used for newborn babies (some types of carriers) and they can also be used to carry older children (especially useful on a full day outing to a museum or to the zoo). This means that the carrier can have a long-life for families.
4. Soothing to baby. It's a well known fact that babies love to be held - holding them increases their contentment - and the more content the less they tend to cry. Carriers (especially sling and wrap styles) are built for holding baby close to you. It feels good for baby and it also feels good for you!
5. Easy to breastfeed. With a baby carrier breastfeeding a baby can be done anywhere. Wrap carriers, in particular have a large amount of material in the 'pouch' where you hold the baby. This provides mom and baby with privacy during feeding and it also means that the baby without being taken out of the carrier can be moved from one side to the other.
Celebrity watching is a 'national pastime'. They tend to lead the pack in style. This time however, they are using baby carriers in ever-increasing numbers not only because they look good, but more because they are comfortable to wear and have so many advantages to mom, dad and baby.
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.
