The ancient art of babywearing has been practiced by generations of parents from different cultures around the world. In recent years, babywearing has been popularized by pediatrician, Dr. William Sears and followers of attachment parenting principles, your average parents, as well as high-profile celebrities who have also turned to the comfort and practicality of babywearing. Popular choices in baby carriers and baby slings include pouch style slings, ring slings, mei tais, wraps, soft packs and of course the structured front carrier. We of course will be referring to the benefits of wearing your infant or toddler in the pouch style tot-to-go baby sling.

The Benefits of Babywearing

Wearing your infant or toddler in a sling, whether it is the tot-to-go baby sling or another brand or type of carrier has many benefits for both the child and the caregiver. As with most things, mastering the art of babywearing takes practice. If you feel frustrated, we encourage you to take a break and start fresh when you and your baby are both well-rested. The benefits of babywearing are well worth the initial learning curve. Here are a few well-known benefits of babywearing to keep you motivated!

• Research has shown that infants worn in a baby sling cry 43% less
• Because babies who are worn in a sling cry less, they spend more time in a quiet alert state that is optimal for learning
• Using a baby sling allows you to be attentive to your baby’s needs while freeing up your hands for daily activities or the care of your older children
• Babywearing helps mimic the warm and secure womb-like feeling that newborns love

If you’re looking for a baby carrier that will help you reap all the benefits of babywearing, be sure to take a look at tot-to-go Design Inc.’s selection of pouch style baby slings.

The tot-to-go baby sling is a hip and modern baby carrier that is loved by babies, parents and celebrities alike. The safe and secure pouch style baby carrier allows you to wear your baby in several versatile positions from newborn up to 34lbs. Available in a gorgeous selection of prints and colours, the tot-to-go baby sling ideally combines fashion and function in a simple, one piece design.

Usually my mail consists of boring bills and more boring bills. Today, I grabbed my mail on my way in from running errands and I was entrigued by a handwritten envelope. I thought it was a child’s birthday party invitation. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to open it up and find a nice thank you note from Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves:

Short and sweet! Matthew and Camila were gifted with a limited edition tot-to-go Oasis Baby Sling as part of our on-going participation with Jewels and Pinstripes. What  a great way to end the week!
