5 Reasons To Carry Your Baby

SleepynicoWritten by Angeline owner of sleepynico.com We all have different needs but carrying your child is something we have to do so why not find a way that is comfortable and beneficial. Here are five fab tips! 1. Freedom: Being hands free allows you to do so many things. If you have other children you can hold their hands; carrying shopping, cooking or travelling are all easier with a happy baby in a sling. 2. Security: Being close feels safe. Your smell, temperature and heartbeat make your baby feel this way. Keeping them close is helping bring up a confident, happy child and gives them better health and mental stability in the future. 3. Style: For me, wearing something beautiful feels great and I was often stopped in the street and asked about my baby carrier. Choose a carrier that suits your style or character. 4. Sleep: Some babies do, lots don't, not unless they are snugly in a sling. It's the way I rocked my daughters to sleep nightly and how I could be sure that in a new place they would.

5. Communication: My girls never stop talking, it's wonderful how they have so much to say (most of the time). It all started up there in the sling! I would talk to them all the time. I truly believe their curiosity and creativity began in the sling. My slinging days are behind me but as the owner of SleepyNico I want to encourage parents everywhere to try one, the benefits are amazing.
