"Baby Wearing" is a term coined by Dr. Sears and his wife which refers to using a baby carrier to keep our
babies close to us as much as possible. This is different from using a sling from time to time when out and about. Baby
Wearing advocates stress carrying our babies in comfortable carriers like the Baby Hawk or Moby Wrap as much as possible throughout
the day.
Being carried by an adult helps babies' nervous systems, breathing, and heart rates mature and stabalize.
Babies doen't just like to be carried, they NEED to be carried.
At Mama Gaia's we have done the hard work
for you. We have eliminated all of the uncomfortable and unsafe baby carriers. Our inventory was hand picked by active baby
wearing moms with lots of experience with uncomfortable slings. You don't have to take our word for it though, you can
just stop by the store and try our carriers on. If you think your Ergo, Bjorn, or Hot Sling is good enough, I encourage
you to come into the store with your baby to feel the difference for yourself.
Our goal is to get you
to wear your baby as much as possible, not just sell you a carrier. It's very important to us that you and your baby are
comfortable. That is why we ultimately decided that we just won't carry those other slings, no matter how profitable they
would be for us.

someone who claims it "spoils" them) download the file below. There's more reasons to baby wear than
most parents ever imagined.
