Babies love and need to be carried. Infant development researchers who have studied baby care practices around the world tell us that there are many significant benefits for babies who are carried in sling style carriers. Here are only a few.

Sling babies...
* are more content and less demanding
* cry dramatically less (34% less during the day and 51% less at night)
* exhibit advanced mental development
* are more likely to grow and thrive optimally
* experience a deeper mother-infant bond

Credible research has also shown that once these well-bonded sling babies become children they are more secure, settled, trusting, sensitve, empathetic, sociable, independent, considerate, co-operative, positive, adaptable, eager to learn, confident and affectionate.  Wow!

The Little Star Baby Sling is as easy to put on as a purse.  There are no frustrating and time consuming straps, snaps, buckles ar rings to pinch or rub.  There is no unnecessary and bulky padding so when your baby needs down time the sling can comfortably and conveniently be left on.  It looks like a sash.  This can be awkward with other baby sling styles.  The sleek design  is cool to wear during the hot summer months plus, it can fold right up to fit into your purse!

The Little Star Baby Sling will never slip or come undone.  The safe and secure design has a special curve sewn into the sling.  This creates a deep pouch and keeps the sides of the sling up on either side of your baby. Unlike upright baby carriers, it properly supports the developing curves of the young spine.

The last thing any new mother wants is BULK. The sleek design of the Little Star Baby Sling is slimming and stylish. Mom and child will look and feel fabulous!

Included with each sling is...

a 10-page instructional booklet, "The Science and Fine Art of Babywearing", describing the philosophy of babywearing as well as clear and detailed instructions on how to "Wear Your Baby!" A linen sachet containing wild-harvested lavender, renowned for its calming and balancing properties.

Babywearing has been shown to enhance mental development.  Sling babies spend a greater amount of time in the "quiet alert" behavioural state, the optimal state for learning.  Sling babies are intimately involved in their parent's world, more exposed to and engaged in what is going on around them.  Environmental experiences stimulate nerves to branch out and connect with other nerves.  It is through this process that the brain grows and develops.  Studies have reported that sling babies show advanced speech development and enhanced visual and auditory alertness.

Post Partum Depression is much less common in mothers who wear their babies.  This may be due to several factors, including the mother's hormonal stimulation and her baby's reduced crying.

Because of the calming effect motion has on infants, babies cry significantly less.  Scientific research has reported that babies who were carried for at least 3 hours a day cried 43% less during the day and 51% less at night (both while in and out of the carrier). Because they spend less time crying, this energy can therefore be diverted into growing.
