| Carrying your baby in a sling is not a new concept. For thousands of years, many cultures have carried infants in a sling. In modern society, especially Western nations, carrying your baby in a sling is a relatively new practice. Contrary to popular theory, babies who are carried and held frequently do not become dependent and clingy.

Your baby's emotional, intellectual, and physical development can be greatly enhanced when you spend a large amount of time in close contact with your baby during early infancy.
