And there are times when it&#8217;s just simply exhausting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Babywearing could be the solution!<\/strong> Carrying your baby in a sling, you&#8217;ll be offering her what she needs and still be able to do other things.<\/p>\n<p>Babywearing has been around for centuries, in all societies and at all times, because there has always been the same need: <strong>happy babies and comfortable parents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Slings are indeed a great tool. When we wear our babies in a sling, our heartbeat soothes them, our movement calms them down, our body warmth relaxes them. It&#8217;s a fantastic way to put a newborn to sleep, it&#8217;s an excellent aid for colics, it&#8217;s a wonderful help with twins or babies with reflux. Babywearing can be very practical when breastfeeding and so helpful when dealing with chores around the house.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bw-closing\">Carrying your happy baby while carrying on with your everyday life can be very simple.<br \/>All it takes is soft fabric and love!<\/div>\n<div class=\"bw-photos-title\">Everyday babywearing moments<\/div>\n<ul class=\"et_post_gallery clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"et_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/travelling_with_baby.jpg\" title=\"babywearing and travelling\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_portfolio_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"174\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/travelling_with_baby.jpg\" class=\"attachment-et-pb-portfolio-image size-et-pb-portfolio-image\" alt=\"babywearing and travelling\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/travelling_with_baby.jpg 192w, https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/travelling_with_baby-184x300.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 174px) 100vw, 174px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_overlay\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"et_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/shopping-with-baby-in-sling.jpg\" title=\"shopping with baby in sling\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_portfolio_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"216\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/shopping-with-baby-in-sling.jpg\" class=\"attachment-et-pb-portfolio-image size-et-pb-portfolio-image\" alt=\"shopping with baby in sling\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/shopping-with-baby-in-sling.jpg 238w, https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/shopping-with-baby-in-sling-228x300.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_overlay\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"et_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/gardening_with_baby.jpg\" title=\"gardening with baby in asteraki sling\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_portfolio_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"223\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/gardening_with_baby.jpg\" class=\"attachment-et-pb-portfolio-image size-et-pb-portfolio-image\" alt=\"gardening with baby in asteraki sling\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/gardening_with_baby.jpg 246w, https:\/\/babywearing.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/gardening_with_baby-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_overlay\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t<\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drifting off to sleep, snug in a slingOur babies are born completely helpless and totally dependent on our care.
