We are definitely in the midst of a babywearing revolution in which women feel the need for carriers that secure the baby, keep it close, and allow the mother freedom of movement while promoting parent-child bonding. The Internet market is inundated with imaginative, versatile, and creative products. One website claims that it is the most active and fastest growing site solely dedicated to babywearing. It receives 12 million hits per month and has over 21,000 registered users and 10 new product reviews are posted each day.
The goal of parenting is to raise well-integrated children who have strong self-preservation instincts and the ability to peacefully discern and articulate their needs. The benefits of babywearing are wide ranging, in addition to making the parenting process easier and more fun. Most of all, each new generation of babies can be ushered into our world with the best loving support possible.
