We decided to start a babywearing group in Grand Rapids to help educate and inform parents about the many benefits of babywearing and the many types of carriers available.

There has been a major babywearing boom in this generation as many parents are rediscovering the ancient art of wearing babies.

There are many benefits to wearing your baby, and I will list a few here:
*It is very soothing for the baby, making for a calmer baby who cries less and sleeps better
*It is very convenient for the parent, allowing them to be hands free in order to help an older child or get some work done
*It is a bonding experience for both the baby and the parent, as they spend time together
*It is an educational experience for the child, watching the parent go about his or her daily task, hearing the language, and being stimulated by the activity
