Babywearing can be a lifeline for so many. As we often don't have the support and society around us that we need and deserve, we have to find other ways to be able to make life work... to do what we have to and still meet our child's needs for contact, closeness, nurture, safety, sleep, communication... everything!
And frequently, a good, comfortable sling/carrier can provide a way to manage everything - keep our child close in a way that's hands-free. A place to nap, a place to feed, a place that's safe when crossing the road, a place to chat.
Not only that; the sling can be healing for you and your child too - emotional co-regulation, communication, oxytocin-mediated calmness, movement.
Slings are amazing. They saved my motherhood. Did they save your parenthood too?
