Babywearing, the practice of carrying baby in a soft carrier close to our body as we go about our daily business, is parenting's best kept secret. Babies who are worn cry less, are more calm and content, sleep more peacefully, nurse better, gain weight better, enjoy better digestion, and develop better. Babywearing enhances parent-baby bonding, is practical, facilitates breastfeeding, helps working parents reconnect with baby, and makes transitions from one caregiver to another easier. More importantly, it allows you to meet your babys needs while still getting things done! In this book, Dr. Blois tells you about the many benefits of babywearing, describes over 80 carriers, shows you how to choose and use the carrier that is right for you, and gives you an easy pattern to make your own carrier. As Dr. Sears, who wrote the foreword for this book, says: "If babies could talk, they would ask you to please read this book and wear them as often as possible."
