There are biochemical responses in both your body and your baby’s when you wear them. Each of you release oxytocin, the “love hormone” that promotes attachment and feelings of well-being.
When you wear your baby, they are nearer to your height, and they can observe you talking to friends. But at the same time, your nosy neighbor is much less likely to get in their space and pass germs.
While you shouldn’t feel obligated to do all the things when you have a new baby, it’s nice to be able to get some stuff done when you want to. That’s another reason baby wearing is so great.
Baby wearing has become increasingly popular in recent years as parents look for ways to bond with their child while still getting things done. And while there are some cons to baby wearing, the pros far outweigh them.
