Book Description: There's No Question That Babywearing Is One Of The Most
Effective Parenting Skills You Can Learn. "So, How Do You Find
The Best Baby Carrier
To Suit Your Needs -- AND
Learn To Master Using It
Quickly And Easily?" Hi Fellow Parent!
If you're like me, you're already familiar with the wonderful benefits that babywearing offers you and your child and are ready to get started.
First, let me congratulate you on your decision to hold your baby more by utilizing a baby carrier. Now that my daughter is a toddler, I realize how fleeting our time truly is to cuddle with our babies. I promise you won't regret a single moment!
The first step, of course, is finding the right carrier.
But this isn't as easy as it seems. When you want to buy some jeans, you just visit your favorite store and try on a few pairs until you find the winner -- the ones that best suit your style, your body, and your budget. This is not the case with baby carriers!
For starters, there aren't any brick-and-mortar baby carrier stores where you can "try before you buy". The best baby carriers are available online and many are custom-made.
The next problem is finding the right style.
Did you know there are at least five different ring sling styles you can choose from? With pouches, there are now several kinds of adjustable and nonadjustable brands. Each style is unique and has its own set of pros and cons. And there are many other carriers to choose from -- if you know what you are looking for and how to find them!
For instance, I'm sure you've seen the ubiquitous Baby Bjorn, but you might also be interested in other technical carriers that offer better spinal support, or even one of the asian-style carriers or wraps
Then, there is the challenge of learning how to use your carrier! When you are working with a wiggly baby, you need to know what you are doing quickly and efficiently, or it could be a frustrating experience for both of you.
Take it from me -- I have bought, made, or tried just about every major carrier out there. I wasted loads of money and time on "bargain" slings and carriers that just sat around collecting dust.
After several months of research, trial, and (lots of) error, I had learned a lot about baby carriers. Naturally, I started to share this knowledge with other friends and family members who were expecting babies.
They all LOVED the insider secrets I gave them about how to choose, find and use baby carriers quickly and easily!
So, with a lot of prodding from my loved ones, I finally decided to share this treasure trove of baby sling and carrier information I had collected over the past 2 years, so you wouldn't have to go through all of the hassles that I did. This step-by-step guide has over 230 pages to walk you through how to choose, find, and use the baby carriers and slings that best meet your needs and your baby's needs.
I share my honest, no-holds-barred, in-depth reviews of the main carrier styles, including which namebrands are the most: - comfortable,
- versatile,
- easy-to-use,
