We carry our babies for almost a year while pregnant. And while in utero they’re warm and safe, our breaths and heartbeat their constant companions. But when baby is born, it’s a whole new world for them (and us too!). Luckily, we can babywear, which brings our little ones right back to us. Babywearing gives both of us that closeness again, while also providing baby with numerous benefits to development, both physically and emotionally. We call the first few months after birth the “fourth trimester,” and for good reason. Our little ones need us more than ever as they make the transition into this new, big world. And as an added bonus, our partners or caregivers can babywear too, allowing them to bond with baby in a new way, building a stronger bond between your child and the people who love her.

At the top of the list is the Ergobaby wrap, which I never leave home without these days. Not only is my baby girl as happy as a clam when she’s bundled up right against my heart but it happens to be ten times easier when running errands, grocery shopping and getting around places where a stroller doesn’t fit.

If you're a city mom, you know how public transportation can be daunting. Our friend Brianne Manz from Stroller in the City shares her tips for navigating the urban maze with kids in tow!
Wearing your little one on the subway or bus also makes it that much easier to get around. For starters, it eliminates the hassle of pushing a stroller (a bit of a game changer during rush hour). Another bonus? If the baby is facing in with a cover, it’ll help protect them from yucky subway grime.
