We asked you: True or False: Wearing your baby for three hours a day can reduce crying (theirs & yours...) by more than 40%. Heres the answer: TRUE! In 1986, a team of pediatricians in Montreal reported on a study of ninety-nine mother-infant pairs. The first group of parents were provided with a baby carrier and assigned to carry their babies for at least three extra hours a day. They were encouraged to carry their infants throughout the day, regardless of the state of the infant, not just in response to crying or fussing. In the control, or noncarried group, parents were not given any specific instructions about carrying. After six weeks, the infants who received supplemental carrying cried and fussed 43 percent less than the noncarried group. -Dr. Sears And if you dont have a Beco Baby Carrier yet, take a few moments to enter to WIN one here: becobabycarrier/giveaway.asp
