Celebrity Moms Popularize Babywearing With a Baby Sling
Carrying your child in a baby sling, or babywearing, has been around for thousands of years, but it isn’t until recently with the likes of celebrity moms and dads like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that the baby sling has gone from a hard to find unique gift idea to a must-have baby item. Unlike bulky car seat, carriers or strollers, the baby sling is not only a lightweight alternative to carrying your child but is a convenient way to keep your child close to you at all times. Baby slings also have proven emotional and developmental benefits for both child and mother. Other benefits of using a baby sling includes the ability to be ’hands free’ during your time with your baby. Fully adjustable for any height or body type, carrying your baby in a sling can take pressure off your neck or back. Additionally, baby slings also make it easier to nurse your child in public.
