BABY WEARING & ORGANIC BABY CARRIERS
Baby Wearing is a method of carrying or 'wearing' your baby in a piece of fabric that can bewrapped around your baby and yourself, slung across a shoulder in a fabric Sling or Rebozo,secured in a traditional Asian style carrier such as a Mei Tai, worn on your body in a Backpack orFramed style carrier, or held in one of the most popular style of carriers today - a Soft-Structured carrier such as an Ergo or Beco baby carrier. Holding, carrying and wearing yourbaby is not a new invention or trend. Long before the use of baby carriages, prams, strollers orpush chairs became the norm, women have worn their babies to keep them warm, facilitatenursing, help regulate breathing and heart beat patterns, keep babies safe from predators anddanger, and to allow mothers to go about their daily activities or work, all while keeping theirprecious baby close at hand.Recent studies suggest that babies who are carried not only cry less, but also learn more thannon-carried babies as they spend less time crying to communicate their needs, and more timeobserving what their mothers and other people in their community are doing. If you wear yourbaby on your front, side, hip or back, your baby is essentially at the same level as you are, and isable to observe everything you do from the same vantage point. A good baby carrier not onlyfrees up your hands to shop, cook, clean, talk on the phone or attend to a toddler or sibling, buta Sling, Wrap, or Carrier worn correctly will support your baby without causing any discomfortto the parent, caretaker or person wearing your baby. Wearing your baby in a Sling or Carrieralso promotes communication between your baby and yourself. Parents of worn babiesbecome very aware of their children's gestures, movements and facial expressions which leadto positive interaction and communication between you and your child.A sling or baby carrier can even act as a transitional womb during those early months when ababy needs his or her mother nearly 24/7. If your baby suffers from colic or you have a babythat has a difficult time sleeping, or startles easily, a baby carrier may be just what the doctorordered - or didn't order but should have. For breastfeeding moms, a sling can provide adiscreet nursing environment where your baby can nurse without distractions, and then simplyfall asleep against your chest. Perhaps the most import item on a new mom or dad's checklist, awrap, sling or carrier for your baby can be used from birth all the way through the toddleryears. You will find it indispensible in airports, restaurants & in busy cities where pushing astroller becomes nothing but a hassle, and in keeping strangers' curious hands away from yournewborn. As parents of a toddler and infant, our baby carriers are the best baby 'gear'investment we have made to date, and we do not own a single stroller. To top it all off, wearingyour baby in a carrier on your body is great weight-bearing exercise and can help mom AND dadlose the extra baby weight.
 
WHY CHOOSE CLOTH DIAPERS?
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS ARE BETTER FOR YOUR BABY
:Cloth diapers are soft onbaby's delicate skin. Since cloth is a natural fiber that breathes, baby's bottom gets plenty of 'air' keeping baby cool and comfortable (lack of fresh air and elevated temperatures are abreeding ground for yeast leading to severe diaper rash and yeast infections). Babies who areprone to allergies and sensitivities such as eczema and psoriasis, and babies born prematurelyare especially sensitive to the petro-chemicals and dioxin used in disposable diapers, makingreusable cloth an excellent choice! Since cloth diapers are free of petro-chemicals and dioxin,diaper rash with reusable diapers is a rare occurrence. In May 2000, the Archives of Disease inChildhood published research showing that scrotal temperature is increased in boys wearingdisposable diapers, and that prolonged use of disposable diapers will blunt or completelyabolish the physiological testicular cooling mechanism important for normal spermatogenesis.
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS DON'T CONTAIN
(but disposables do):Dioxin - a toxicbyproduct of the paper bleaching process. Dioxin is a carcinogenic chemical, listed by the EPAas the most toxic of all cancer linked chemicals. It is banned in most countries, but not theUnited States.
 
Tributyl-tin (TBT) - a toxic pollutant known to cause hormonal problems in humans andanimals.
 
Sodium Polyacrylate - a type of super absorbent polymer (SAP), which becomes a gel-like substance when wet. A similar substance was used in super-absorbency tamponsuntil the early 1980s when it was revealed that the material increased the risk of toxicshock syndrome.
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS ARE EASY TO USE
:Gone are the days of dunking reusablediapers in the toilet, and boiling to sanitize. Today's reusable cloth diapers are as convenientand easy to use as disposables, often times more effective at containing messes thandisposables, and today's choices are vast. You can choose economical flat pre-folds (which arethe fold, pin, rubber pants style used by our mothers and grandmothers), or fitted diapers thathave a snap or hook and loop closure, or even diapers that already have the water-proof diapercovers sewn onto the cloth, making the diaper and cover one piece (All-In-One or AIO) like thatof a disposable. Many people use a combination of the various styles and use each style fordifferent situations (depending on if they need a more absorbent option for overnight, if theyneed a very simple system for travel or with the nanny/babysitter, etc.). Best of all, simply tossinto the washing machine, hang or tumble dry, and you are set. Modern cloth diapering REALLYis that easy!
