Baby Carriers are the solution for parents who need to get chores done while still bonding with your child.  One thing any parent of a newborn notices is how difficult it is to get anything done.  Especially once you get past their constant sleep stage.  

I didn’t use baby carriers with my first son but now with two, I find myself with even less time to multi-task. 

Baby carriers is one of the oldest traditions around the world.  There are also a variety of carriers available such as wraps, pouches and soft-packs carriers.  So how do you go about choosing a baby carrier?

La Stella Blu offers a variety of quality baby carriers.  To best suit your needs before you choose a baby carrier, you must decide what you will be using the baby carrier for.

• Who is going to be using the carrier?
• What purpose will the baby carrier be used for?  To run errands, for short trips etc…
• Will you want to use the carrier to nurse discreetly?
• How many carrying positions would you like?
• How long would you like to use the baby carrier?
• How old is your baby?

Knowing the answers to these questions can help you choose the right baby carrier for you.

I recommend visiting La Stella Blu website for some more information on the variety of carriers that are out there.

According to La Stella Blu’s website some of the benefits for using baby carriers are:

Carried babies cry less. Babies that are held cry less than babies that spend a large amount of time in strollers, playpens, or car seat style carriers. It also allows for more bonding time with your baby and being able to better understand their needs. 

Enhanced development. Babies in arms spend a greater amount of time in the “quiet alert” behavioral state, the optimal state for learning. My nephew use to sleep almost all the time, even at 4 months old.  It was only when my sister started to use a baby carrier, that he became more alert.

Develops strong attachment to parents. Babies know they are safe when they can feel your heartbeat, hear your breath, and look up at your face. 

Lowers stress level of infant. Studies have shown that infants who could not feel or see their caregiver have more stress hormones circulating through their bloodstreams. 

Freedom of movement.   This is such a huge advantage.  It gives you more flexibility allowing you to be happier and less stressed.  When the parent is happier, the baby is happier too.
