The Mamatoto Project NINO - Nine In Nine Out - The Babywearing Organization
"NINO is a nonprofit babywearing organization. It stands for Nine In, Nine Out. This name is inspired by the work of the renowned anthropologist, Ashley Montagu. In his book Touching (HarperCollins, 1986), Montagu proposed that the first nine months of an infant's life be called "exterogestation", a period that is the same length of time spent in utero. Those of us who love babywearing feel that the best way to simulate the cozy, warm environment of the womb is to carry babies in a sling or baby carrier. But too few people learn about slings in time to put this into practice."
You can purchase Babywearing, the book from her site, www.drmariablois.com. You can also read up on the many benefits and methods of wearing your baby.

Babies are born to be worn! Quirky baby sells baby carriers and accessories. Thanks to Jane McClintock of Quirky Baby for her help with a recent letter to the AAP for
"The top reason for most parents is the convenience - babies want to be
held, but parents need to get things done. By wearing your baby, you free your
hands to accomplish your tasks. Babywearing enables you to nurse on the go,
chase after your older children, work on the computer with both hands, run
errands, or cook dinner - all the things that still need to get done after the
new baby arrives! ...But the benefits of babywearing reach far beyond parental convenience. Babies have a fundamental need for physical contact with their parents and caregivers. Babies who are worn sleep better, cry less, nurse and gain weight better, become securely attached to their caregivers, and tend to be more alert and interactive with the world around them... Kangaroo care, holding a premature baby skin-to-skin, has been proven to promote physical growth and neurological development in tiny babies. Yet even full-term babies are "premature" in the sense that human babies are born at a much earlier stage of development than other primates. By holding them close, parents bond with their babies and help them adapt to the outside world from the safety and comfort of a cozy carrier." |
