I love the comfort of babywearing, the security, the empowering feeling of doing something so simple, and yet so incredibly complex. I love feeling every breath, knowing every movement, hearing every sound. I love the look of complete peace on my baby's face. I love that babywearing allows me to nurture not only my baby, but myself, never having to let go of a baby I was scared I would lose. I love that my children see holding and touching as normal, not something to be ashamed of or redirected.
I love that I've met so many amazing parents and caregivers through a community that I know is filled with love and passion. I love that I am a part of that community.
Babywearing is so much more than having your baby in a carrier on your body. It is so much more, and it is so natural, normal, gentle, and awesome.
Spread the babywearing love; there is plenty for everyone!
