Moms Wear Your Tees Blog: Baby Carrier

La Stella Blu is all about Baby Wearing! I know that my babies loved the baby carrier. In fact, I loved the baby carrier because it helped keep them happy and freed me to be able to do more things!

Babywearing is one of the oldest traditions of parenting around the world. Here are just a few of the many benefits of carrying your baby:

* Carried babies cry less.
* Enhanced development because babies spend a greater amount of time in the "quiet alert" behavioral state, the optimal state for learning.
* Develops strong attachment to parents/ facilitates bonding.
* Lowers stress level of infant.
* Allows parent freedom of movement.

There are several types of baby carriers and tons of brands. La Stella Blu aims to make baby carrier shopping easy for you. They "have searched the world far and wide to provide you with the safest, most well made, and stylish baby slings available. With so many baby carriers to choose from we thought it was due time to provide one comprehensive website that took the work out of your shopping experience."

La Stella Blu has a section to educate you on the types of carriers and which ones are most beneficial and why for different baby stages. They have chosen their favorites for different activities and clearly explain why.

Check out this super cute Owl Moby Wrap Baby Carrier! "The Moby Wrap baby carrier is one of the most comfortable and versatile ways to carry your baby. The Moby Wrap consists of a long piece of fabric that you tie around yourself, and then your baby can be carried in many different positions. The fabric is spread across your whole back and shoulders to evenly distribute the weight of your baby."

I love this Indian Summer fabric print but they have a huge variety of choices. "Hotslings are made from a sleek one piece fitted design are very compact and easy to use. Pouches are excellent for quick trips and errands."

This Baby Hawk Soft Pack Baby Carrier is similar to the kind I used and loved. It provides even weight distribution across your back and shoulders and has padded shoulder straps for comfort. This model has many different carrying positions including front, back and hip! Carry your child from birth to 40 lbs!

La Stella Blu also has some really cute baby clothing in pima and organic cotton. La Stella Blu even has a sale section you can check out because everyone loves saving money. You will be glad you found this great website!

Both my babies loved to be carried. Especially my daughter, always a happy girl until I tried to put her down. The Sleepy Wrap was designed by a mama who wanted to find just the right carrier for her son that distributed his weight across her shoulders and back and that was made of just the right stretchy but secure fabric. She designed it and her husband helped make the business happen. What a great pair and what a great idea.

The Sleepy Wrap baby carrier securely holds your little one close to you. It is specially designed for your baby's first year of life, yet you may comfortably carry your baby for as long as you both desire. The name Sleepy Wrap came because babies often get so comfy they fall asleep peacefully against your chest. I loved that special time with my babies!

Research indicates that carried babies:
* Cry Less! (43% less overall and 54% less during the evening hours)
* Are Healthier! (gain weight faster, have better motor skills, coordination, increased muscle tone, and sense of balance)
* Get a better view of the world! (babies pushed in strollers or lugged around in car seats only get to see the adult world at knee-level)
* Become Independent Faster! (making them more confident and less clingy)
* Sleep Better! (they fall asleep quicker and sleep for longer periods of time)
* Learn More! (not overstimulated, but calm and alert, observing the world around them)
