Baby wearing!

Having  new baby and having a life can be tricky.  It doesn't ever seem like we have enough hands to do what needs to be done.  Baby wearing can change your life. How? you might ask. Well, don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

Top 10 reasons to wear your baby:
1) Baby will fuss less, and feel more comforted by being close to you.
2) Your baby will learn a lot just by being near you and watching you do your every day tasks.
3) More comfortable for you than carrying him/her around.
4) Reduces postpartum depression.
5) Breastfeed hands free, yea you heard right you can breastfeed and grocery shop at the same time.
6) Gives Dad a chance to bond with baby too.
7) Keep baby happy and play with your older children.
8) Go for a walk to get some excercise while your baby sleeps
9) Get some chores done around the house during "fussy time" and soothe your baby while being productive.
10) Never have to choose between eating and comforting your baby.
