As you get ready to
welcome the arrival of your new bundle of joy, there’s no doubt that you are
making a list of all the baby gear and items you’ll need. As you piece together
that list, you may want to consider adding a wrap that would allow for
“babywearing.”
Babywearing has become
quite the trend as of late, and not just because it gives parents a way to walk
around with their baby and have both their hands free. Here’s a look at the top
babywearing benefits that parents are enjoying.
Let's Talk About the Convenience
The first benefit we
need to discuss is, of course, the convenience. It can be pretty hard to get much accomplished
with a newborn. They often need a lot of holding, which doesn't leave you with
a free hand. By using a baby wrap, your little one will be safe, snug, and
secure and you'll have both hands free. This means you can move about the
house, do simple chores and errands in and out of the house, and even relax a
bit. New parents often complain of sore
and tired arms and shoulder muscles; the wrap will eliminate this completely.
Studies Show Baby Will Cry Less
Wouldn't it be great
to find a magic way to get your baby to stop crying? A wrap could be the
solution. Studies have shown that a baby who is wrapped snuggly against your
chest will cry less. They can feel that physical and emotional connection to
their parent that they crave.
Anyone Can Use the Wrap
Another great benefit
is that anyone can use the wrap, not just mom and dad. Grandparents, aunts,
and uncles can all take part in the experience and start to build their own
bond with your baby, which can be hard to do otherwise. It also gives mom a
break, which is usually very much needed.

Consider it a Workout
For the new mom who is
anxious to get back to her pre-pregnancy shape, it can be pretty hard to find
time to exercise. Wearing your baby acts like exercise and you won't have to
put aside a specific block of time to get it done. The entire time you are
wearing your baby in a wrap or sling, you will be giving your entire body a
fabulous workout.
Get as Much Information as Possible

first-time parent, or even if it’s been a few years since the birth of your
