Human Touch and Movement: People naturally rock their children when they want to calm them down or reassure them. In terms of what babies need most to naturally develop and to feel secure - nothing beats loving human touch and movement. Many researches have proven that frequently carried or “worn” babies cry less and are more independent at an earlier age.
Why it is good for Baby and Mother: It is proven that carrying your baby adds to their motoric, emotional and cognitive development. Well- known pediatricians, chiropractors and orthopedic specialists recommend this carrier for the following reasons: Firstly, the weight of the baby is evenly distributed over the caregiver’s back and shoulders and thus supportive to the low back and posture; the baby is able to assume a variety of positions that are natural to its age and development; it allows the baby to be a part of the mother's daily activities; it prevents or minimizes colic and crying in young babies; carried babies spend more time in the 'quiet alert' state, which is the optimum state for learning; the mother’s movements help stimulate the skin receptors and also the internal systems that are related to the development of balance and movement; and the intensive contact with the mother or father gives a feeling of security and well- being that assists in the overall development of the child.

About the Carrier Wrap:
The Truly Be Carrier Wrap is made of top quality soft 100% cotton fabric that is designed to give the right amount of stretch to make it easy to wear and to also give the baby a snug, comfortable feeling. Because it is distributed evenly over the wearer's torso and onto the hips it provides maximum ergonomic support to the wearer's back (which is not a small consideration when you are carrying so many extra pounds). The design of the carrier is a long wrap which wraps around the upper part of the body and is easily adjusted to accommodate a variety of positions for newborns up to toddlers. It is easy to put on and feels very natural since it doesn't have any hard or cumbersome parts. The fabric is at its widest in the middle and then tapers towards the ends where it is tied. One size fits all with this carrier and if you are smaller you just wrap it around more times. Mothers who have used other carriers or slings are always immediately amazed by its comfort. In the middle of the carrier there is a nice decorative pocket that functions both as a beautiful pocket as well as something to mark the middle of the wrap which is helpful when donning it. It comes with an easy to use colorful instruction booklet.
