baby wearing

Americans are one of the only culture that try to nest their infants. Humans aren't nesters, your baby is not happy being put in a car seat and packed around or in a stroller, and if they are it is just because you have conditioned them to be happy there. I wear my daughter almost all day and she is a very mellow baby. We don't force her to nap at certain times and this means that my schedule doesn't revolve around her sleeping, we run errands, visit friends, go to parks, etc and she sleeps when she is tired and wakes when she wants to and I don't feel "trapped" in my house by a napping baby. Also baby wearing means she sleeps through a lot more noise than nested babies.
