What Is Babywearing?

The term “Babywearing” was coined by child development experts Dr. William and Martha Sears.

Babywearing is the ancient art of carrying your baby on your body without the use of your hands.

Essentially, your baby becomes a part of you (like when you were pregnant) and your carrier becomes a part of your wardrobe.  It is customary in many cultures today, especially in Asia and Africa.
