Moms often worry about bonding with their babies, but there's already many things she does to bond. Some of those things include skin-to-skin contact, feeding, and looking into LO's eyes. If more bonding is wanted by mamas, or more skin-to-skin contact, wearable baby carriers are a solid solution. They hold the baby close to mom's skin and create a soothing environment for everyone. One study has shown that babywearing can also reduce baby's crying, which definitely is a plus for mom. Of course, bonding isn't the only reason to be researching slings, wraps, or carriers. Sometimes, it just makes more sense for baby to be held on mom's chest or back. It frees up her hands and she can become more mobile than she would having to push a stroller around or haul carrier in and out of stores or offices.
