Baby Wearing Traveling Tips

By Leah Higginbotham

By now you've probably purchased a baby carrier and are loving its versatility and convenience. And your baby is probably enjoying the comfort and bonding time he gets to spend with you. Now it is time to bring your baby wearing to the next level while traveling. While most errands and day trips are great with a carrier, it can become indispensable while traveling by plane.

Baby wearing is not a new concept; in fact it's been done for thousands of years in many different cultures. However, it is relatively new in the realm of contemporary baby rearing, and has many important advantages. Although at first it may seem strange, baby wearing is one of the most natural ways to comfort and console your baby while forging an important bond and still living your life.

First, know your baby's weight and compare that to the weight limit of the baby carrier that you've chosen. Check out weight limits and new native carrier reviews online so that you know how much weight your carrier can support, and then adhere strictly to those guidelines.

Ancient Egyptians are known for wearing their babies. In ancient hieroglyphics, Egyptian mothers are depicted carrying their babies in woven baskets on their backs, or even in slings that look much like the modern slings available today. Baby wearing has been a practice that efficiently helps mothers move their babies around.

Today, many types of slings, wraps and mei tais are available for the modern woman to choose from. Look for hotslings reviews to discern which type of sling is the best for you and your baby. You'll find it a convenient and rewarding experience, combining the best of function with the comfort of bonding.
