Their gestational period ends with their first breath. Human babies are born less developed and naturally have higher needs at birth. Your baby's gestational period doesn't end at birth, but rather continues for many months. Because of this, nurturing the child to adapt to life outside the womb becomes essential in order to properly regulate your baby's systems.Slings will extend the womb experience and provide a home base of sorts for your newborn. While in the womb, your baby's systems were organized on autoplay. The baby experiences the parent's rhythmic walk, heart beat and breathing while they are worn, and these act as a pacemaker of sorts which remind the baby to organize and pattern her own functions with yours. Babywearing in a sling provides comfort and regulation and adds to the security and warmth so that your infant can focus her energies on positive growth. Reduces Infant Mortality, SIDSThis is especially true for the premature babies, as mortality rates decrease by as much as 70% when premature newborns are worn in a sling. The enormous benefits a sling provides to a premature baby were first discovered accidentally by a care specialist in South Africa. Unable to offer technological incubators, they used the moms and secured their babies to them with a sling-like wrap creating an "exterior womb." To everyone's amazement; the premature infants that were worn throughout most of the day thrived and grew just as well, and sometimes even better, as the incubated infants. Soothes Crying and ColicResearch shows that babies worn for at least 3 hours a day cry 43% less during the day and 51% less at night. Babywearing is an ideal preventative measure for more peaceful days and nights. Encourages Mental DevelopmentSince worn babies spend less time crying and trying to soothe themselves, they are freed (in their state of quiet alertness) to observe more and to positively interact more. Carried babies are more intimately involved in their parent's world and are more engaged in what is going on around them. They socialize better since they are carried at eye level instead of sitting at knee level, like in a stroller. The brain is stimulated by the inclusion provided by babywearing and therefore is encouraged to grow and develop. Scientific evidence shows that carried babies demonstrate advanced speech development and enhanced visual and auditory alertness. Reduces Incidence of Post-Partum DepressionStudies shows that Post-Partum Depression is much less common among mothers who frequently wear their infants. The reason is not entirely known but many speculate that it may be because of a hormonal stimulation baby-wearing provides and because worn babies cry much less. Better Bonding = Easier DisciplineThe deeper the connection between a parent and child, the easier discipline will be in the future. Wearing your infant in a sling is a bonding investment that enhances the connection between you and your baby. Credible research comparing well-connected children with poorly-connected children brings to light that connected children are more secure, settled, trusting, sociable, positive, adaptable, confident, considerate, co-operative, willing to share, empathetic, sensitive, affectionate, persistent, and eager to learn. Other Key Benefits Carrying your baby in a sling allows for your hands to be free in order to go about daily tasks. Baby carriers are extremely helpful during times when using a stroller would be inconvenient - such as up stairs, through large crowds, narrow aisleways, or over rough terrain. It is also helpful when frequently transferring to and from the car. It is much easier to slip on a sling than to drag out and unfold the stroller. Baby carrier put your baby at the height of people's faces instead of at their knees therefore encouraging social interactions and development. Unlike other frontpacks, slings are useful from infancy through toddlerhood, when little legs get tired of walking.   Find more Beco Carriers and Accessories in my eBay Store Beco Authorized Dealer *** BID WITH CONFIDENCE!     FAST, FRIENDLY AND RELIABLE SERVICE Since 1997    Over 13,000 Positive Feedbacks     Super Fast Shipping!We ship within 24 hours of cleared payment, Monday through Saturday!   International Shipping We ship to all countries in Europe except for:Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland,Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or UK(Visit Beco Baby Carrier's website for retailers in these countries)Please contact us before biddingWe ship via USPS Priority mail only   International Terms International orders will be shipped with the proper customs formmarked with the actual price paid for the item.** Items will not be marked as a gift ** All customs fees, duty, taxes, VAT or any fees due upon receipt, are the responsibility of the buyer.      Giving a Gift? We are happy to a include a complimentary gift card with your message when shipping to different address.Simply enter your message in the notes section during Paypal checkout. .
