– Carried babies cry less. – Carried babies can be included matter-of-factly, without fuss, in most of our daily activities. – Carried babies learn about the body’s movements, about human behavior and interactions and about their environments, all from their comfy, safe spot on their parent’s body. While one can certainly buy the native-syle carriers most suited for babywearing, it’s also possible to recreate, with some basic tools and minimal previous sewing experience, most of these best-loved carriers. Here are five of the best-loved carriers that you can recreate. NOTE: Before you begin, please familiarize yourself with appropriate babywearing practices. Each carrier requires proper positioning to ensure that your baby is supported, safe, and has a clear airway. And when you’re finished with all that? Sew your baby some cloth diapers, pretty please!
