baby-wearing for all ages
>> Friday, June 1, 2007
Children thrive when they feel valued, loved, and that the adults in their life enjoy being with them. That is why wearing your baby or toddler is so important: it fosters trust and a secure attachment with your baby and gives your toddler a safe place to reconnect and reinforce their bond with you. Dr. Sears says that "when adults wear babies, we let our children know that they are important and that they belong with their parents. We teach our children... that big people care for little people and that babies are fun to be around."
Giving your child a sling of their own teaches them to extend that same feeling of love and importance to others. Your child is never too big or small to feel important to you. Start wearing your baby, no matter their age, today!

I have found that both of my girls have benefitted greatly from wearing them. They are both very content while being worn and I think they feel comforted and secure when in the sling.
What a sweet photo!
