Why I Love Babywearing (and Why I’ll Always Choose WildBird)
Closeness changes everything. I’ve used WildBird almost exclusively for over a year—here’s why.
If you’ve ever tried to make it through the day with a baby who only wants to be held, you know the feeling. You need to pour coffee, get dressed, fold laundry–and somehow keep your baby calm — all at once. That’s where babywearing comes in. It’s not just a convenience — it’s a lifeline. It’s connection, comfort, and freedom all in one.
After trying a few options, I’ve been using WildBird almost exclusively for over a year—and I truly can’t imagine motherhood without it. Their linen slings and the Aerial Carrier have carried me (and my baby) through everyday life, from grocery runs to park days to contact naps at home.
What is babywearing?
Babywearing simply means carrying your baby close to your body using a sling or carrier. It helps your baby feel safe and connected while giving you the freedom to move through your day with ease. WildBird makes this effortless—linen slings are lightweight and breathable, and the Aerial Carrier is perfect for longer wears or when baby gets a little bigger.
The benefits of babywearing
Connection: Baby hears your heartbeat, feels your warmth, and sees your expressions—building secure attachment and trust.
Calm: Carried babies often cry less and settle faster thanks to your movement and scent.
Development: Supports healthy hip, spine, and neck development when worn in an ergonomic “M” position.
For you, too: Promotes oxytocin, reduces stress, and brings a sense of grounded calm.
Rhythm: Staying close helps you read hunger/sleep cues and ease transitions and naps.
Freedom: Two hands free for errands, walks, church, or playing with older siblings.
Why I choose WildBird
