One of my favorite ways to bond with my babe is baby wearing. Feeling her body against mine, her breath, and her heartbeat brings back memories of being one with her.

Now that she is older, she’s exploring more, wants to see what I see, and enjoys the movement. While it’s her favorite place to be, baby wearing is easy and hands-free for me. Her favorite thing right now is being carried front-facing and going on a hike (and I got her this adorable sun hat – the best I’ve found so far).

Baby wearing has been around for centuries and studies suggest that babies carried in slings can be calmer and cry less. Being that close up to your baby allows you to be more in tune with how they’re feeling and what they need. I also loved that my babe could experience my day with me and I could get things done.
