About me: Wise Woman Sling promotes babywearing as a happy, healthy lifestyle.
~Carried babies cry less and show less symptoms of colic.
~Carried babies learn more, they spend more time in the "quiet alert state" where they are taking in things going on around them.
~Carried babies are emotionally healthier. They have trust in their caregivers to respond to their needs and become more independent at an earlier age.
~Using a sling helps you to respond to your babies needs immediately and to do so without getting sore arms or back. The style of a sling distributes weight evenly across your back, whereas a front pack type carrier pulls down on your shoulders causing neck, shoulder and back pain. Also, a front pack puts pressure on the base of a babies spine and forces the legs apart in an unnatural position.
~Babies tend to fall asleep easily and for long periods of time in a sling. They are used to the motion of your body from being inside you for nine months. It is comforting for them!
