One of the first things you learn as a new parent is that, in your pre-baby days, you took the freedom to use your hands for granted. Babies love to be close, whether that’s being held, cuddled, or fed in your arms. While the closeness is so tender, you’ll soon miss easy access to your hands, but the best baby carriers are here to help.
Babywearing is a popular way for parents to carry their baby while leaving their hands free. While it isn’t a modern-day parenting phenomenon, it’s said an American woman invented a baby carrier after seeing African women carrying their babies on their backs in the late 1960s. Now, most new parents have a baby carrier in their arsenal.
