Babywearing

Traditional babywearing

Babywearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. Babywearing has been practiced for millennia[1] around the world. Babywearing is a form of baby transport which can be used for as long as mutually desired, often until toddlerhood and beyond.[2] In the industrialized world, babywearing has gained popularity in recent decades. Part of the reason for this shift is due to the influence of advocates of attachment parenting.
