A giveaway from My Moms View!

One of my favorite things we've done with Munchkin is to delve into the world of babywearing. What is babywearing? Simply carrying your baby with you using a hands-free carrier. Studies have shown that babies who are worn will cry less, improve their mental and motor skills development, and increase their attachment to their caregivers. Plus it lets parents (and grandparents, babysitters, etc) soothe their babies while also getting things done, a feat that is all too valuable to parents. Many of you are probably familiar with the baby Bjorn and the other common carriers at Babies R Us, but if you're inspired to try out something new there are even more options out there. I'm just learning myself, so feel free to add to the discussion!

Since the munchkin was born, we've used a Moby wrap with her. Even Mr. T will sing its praises as a great way to keep your baby happy and get dinner made. Some of my favorite memories are watching Mr. T prepare fresh herbs for dinner, with Munchkin secure on his chest just happily watching and getting the occasional sniff of herbal goodness. Now that she is getting bigger, we've added an Ergo structured carrier to the mix after getting it for a steal from craigslist.

Interested in a chance to win a free baby carrier? My Moms View has a review and giveaway contest for a baby wrap from Sugar Sweet Baby, where you can find adorable wraps that will let you carry your beautiful baby in style.
