Babies that are carried are calmer and cry less as their primal/survival needs are met.(ie. the caregiver can be seen, heard, felt, smelled, tasted 3. Babies have increased neural development, due to vestibular movements, 4. Baby wearing aids in better gastointestinal health, helps babies better develop thier balance and muslce tone. 5. Infants are more organised and less fussy as the walking movements of the mother are very soothing 6. BAbies learn social behaviour at an earlier age learning to decifer body language, facial cues, speak earlier and learn to be more independant. 7. attachment between baby and caregiver is increased and more secure, = better bonding! 8. decreases the risk of positional plagiocephaly (flattened head syndrome caused- by back sleeping). 9. Premmie babies/low birth weight babies once worn/carried for significant periods everyday, have increased weight gains and thrive better than those who are not carried/worn. Reference: http://enwikipedia.org/wiki/babywearing "I am a mother of 4 beautiful children! I have experienced the benefits of baby wearing with all of my babies. Starting with my first baby who was an extremely 'fussy' baby that cried all day even when i picked him up as he had very severe reflux . I tried a number of baby carriers lent to me by friends but none ever seemed to be right. They were either, too tight, too loose, too heavy feeling, not secure feeling, too difficult to put on, too difficult to get baby into, only lasted for a few months then baby got too big, and the list goes on.... Finally i found a website in the US that had this style of baby carrier. I have never looked back, carrying my babies has allowed me to reduce their crying, and unsettled behaviour. It has allowed me to do get chores done around the house... handsfree, to attend to my other children, go on outings to the park etc and not have to leave the baby in a pram somewhere unattended whilst i chased toddlers and older children, to go on school excursions with baby in tow... and not need a pram. Even grocery shopping is so much easier with baby in the snuggle bub baby wrap. I place my baby onto my back to do cooking... for safety to prevent any accidents with thing that are hot. I have even been able to swim with the baby in the snuggle bub. You will be amazed at just how easy it is to tie, and how comfortable it is to wear. The cotton jersey fabric means that it feels just like an extra t-shirt the width of the fabric means wider straps over the shoulders and therefore... no pulling and pressure on the neck and shoulders. The weight of the baby is evenly distributed through the whole torso meaning that there is no..... backache, shoulder ache, neck ache, (i have had several back injuries and none are aggrevated by carrying my baby in this carrier, she is now 8.4kg and I have been able to walk around places like Australia Zoo all day and not feel any pulling/pain.(unlike other styles) This style of carrier is reccomended by Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors as the weight of the baby is kept close to you and well supported and evenly distributed throughout the torso!!! BENEFITS FOR PARENTS/CAREGIVERS: 1. greater feelings of love towards baby, 2. baby wearing allows baby to feel hugged but parents hands are free to get on with tasks 3. the snuggle bub baby wrap is far more comfortable than many other carriers and is fraction of the price 4. This carrier unlike others will allow a toddler up to at least the age of 2 years to be carried( thus offering safety to toddlers on outings) 5. Ease of breastfeeding, as there is handsfree breast feeding position Choose from many funky colours and designs!
