A baby who is in a wrap gets lots of mental stimulation. Instead of being in a stroller looking at everyone's knees, my baby is seeing what I see. She watches me make dinner; she has a great view of the trees and birds and squirrels on our walk; she looks in and watches our fish as I feed them. Because she's up at my level, I'm constantly talking to her about what I'm doing and seeing. When she's in the wrap, she's always experiencing and learning.

Studies have shown that babies who are held more, cry less. I have experienced that to be true with my children: the more time I spent holding them, the less time they spent crying. But, you know, my arms get tired. And so I wrap my baby. I have energetic arms and a happy baby!

Babies need to be held. A lot. And while every mother, myself included, loves to hold her baby, life doesn't allow us to just sit and cuddle all day long. And so I wrap my baby. Wrapping allows me to give that comfort and contact to my baby and still have my hands free for other tasks. I can hold my daughter and play with my son, or do the dishes, or sweep the floor, or go shopping. I can hold my baby and still get things done!
