Babywearing is a growing fad in Hollywood. More and more celebrity mothers like Angelina Jolie, Madonna and Heidi Klum (and even fathers like Brad Pitt) have been spotted using different types of baby carriers and slings. Even mothers in TV shows are wearing their babies like Desperate Housewives’ Gabrielle and Grey Anatomy’s Dr. Miranda “the Nazi” Bailey. But babywearing is nothing new. Mothers from different cultures around the world have been practicing babywearing probably since the dawn of mankind. There is wisdom in baby wearing. For the mother, the use of baby carriers or slings frees her hands and increases her mobility. She can do household chores, shop, workout or even work in her chosen field. Some mothers even take baths or swim with their babies in slings. In the Philippines, it is common to see mothers from various ethnic communities with their babies comfortably riding on their hips or on their backs with the aid of a large piece of cloth tied in a knot over one shoulder. These are called aban in the north and kabiba in the south. These makeshift slings free their hands so they can perform other tasks like cooking, washing clothes, cleaning the house, weaving, planting and harvesting. Babywearing also has lots of benefits for babies. For the newborn, the sling recreates the feeling inside the mother’s womb. And since the baby rides close to her mother’s chest, she can hear the familiar sound of her mother’s heartbeat. So baby feels warm and secure. It also strengthens the bond between parents and babies. Babywearing aids in the emotional development of babies. Studies have shown that babies who are carried constantly cry less and grow up as independent and confident adults. This is because parents who wear their babies tend to respond more quickly to their babies’ needs. As a result, these babies learn to communicate their needs more effectively and the need for crying is lessened. Babywearing stimulates mental development of babies. Babies who are frequently carried are exposed to many different experiences and sensations. And parents who have taken to babywearing tend to interact frequently with their babies. The constant interaction helps the babies learn about the world they live in. We offer you handcrafted baby slings and pouches that are practical, affordable, versatile and easy-to-use.
