We’ve all heard some version of, “Don’t hold your babies too much, you’ll spoil them rotten!” Despite those countless reminders otherwise, you can’t spoil a newborn. Babies are born into an unfamiliar world with no context for what’s going on around them. As the parent of a newborn, it’s our job to prove ourselves trustworthy and reliable. We do this by responding to their cries, feeding them when they’re hungry, changing their dirty diapers, and holding them when they need us. Sometimes my daughter is fussy for no reason, and wearing her provides instant comfort and security.
I’m sharing six things you should know about baby wearing, including why it makes happier babies and moms, over on the Birmingham Mom’s Blog today. I’d love for you to head over and read all about our adventures in baby wearing (and leave a comment if you enjoy it!). The Birmingham Moms Blog is a great resource for topics, written BY moms FOR moms, geared towards every stage of motherhood! Bonus points if you’re local to Birmingham or the surrounding areas — we share great local restaurants, neighborhoods, events, and more!
