Fact #1. The term babywearing was coined by a renowned pediatrician and parenting guru and his wife, a registered nurse. The couple rose to fame in the late 20th century for their not-uncontroversial childrearing guides. However contentious the semantics may be, there's no question that the development of baby carrying gear has played an instrumental role in humankind's success as a species.
Fact #2. The habit of fabricating contrivances to carry our progeny around is, in essence, human history. For millennia, humans have carried their young on their bodies. They've used animal pelts, cloth, woven baskets, and other fabrications to keep their hands free as they go about the business of living with small children.
Fact #3. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a handful of Western parenting-practice outliers began to question the wisdom of keeping adults and their offspring separated. This sparked a revival of the ancient art of baby-carrying in the industrialized world. The Snugli is often attributed with the popularization of baby carriers in the United States.
Fact #4. How far or long a child may be carried using a wrap depends on a few factors. First, the size and weight of the youngster. Second, the strength and stamina of the one doing the carrying. Finally, the durability of the materials used. Newborns and infants up to a certain heft can safely ride in a wrap for as long as they're comfortable, or until they need a diaper change.
Fact #5. One of the primary advantages of wraps over structured carriers is that of being relatively adaptable. Make no mistake, the initial learning curve for these tying arrangements can be steep. Time spent studying the various approaches to getting oneself and one's child into and out of the carrier is bound to be a wise investment.
