B4 you get caught up in all the products you think you and your baby may require, remember all you really need is yourself and a sling. More and more people are discovering a 'new' way to care for their infants.
Slings have been around for centuries and are used exclusively in many countries.
Keeping the baby skin to skin is not only important in the first few hours after birth, but for many months to come. Using a sling is also something that Dads' can do and is an important bonding time for a new parent. It becomes more than just about nursing, it provides warmth and security. Feeling safe allows infants to focus on learning and trust. Having that trust and bond makes for happy babies.
Just imagine being inside the womb for nine months, being rocked, listening to voices, feeling safe. Then suddenly there you are, placed in a car seat, bassinet, crib. Where did everyone go! Babies don't know you're in the next room, on the couch, walking behind the stroller. Of course they cry when you put them down. They want to feel you and smell you, they want to be held. And the easiest way to do this is with a sling. There are many types out there, you can even make your own. So before you spend a small fortune on that must have stroller, consider the relative low cost of wearing baby in a sling. Your baby will thank you.
