Babies love to be touched and cuddled, and consequently baby-wearing makes for happier babies who cry less. There is also evidence to suggest that baby-wearing can be beneficial for babies in terms of development and health, and can help mothers and babies bond by fostering closeness.

When choosing a baby carrier or sling, look for one made of organic materials to prevent unnecessarily exposing your baby to chemicals. The ERGO baby carrier is an extremely versatile option that can be positioned on your hip, back or front evenly distributing your baby’s weight to keep you comfortable, while the ergonomic design supports your baby’s posture too.
