While baby wearing will not stop all of your baby's tears, it may assist lessen weeping and fussing. This exploit was found in 1986 by researchers. They discovered in their randomized controlled trial that young babies who were carried cried and fussed less than babies who were not. There are two methods used by most carriers to carry babies: front-facing or back-facing. There are many different types of carriers available on-line and in specialty shops. Each type is designed for a particular purpose. For example, backpack carriers are ideal for walking around the park with your baby in arms; cradle carriers are best for sleeping in bed with your baby; ring slings work well while sitting in a chair at a restaurant; and waist belts are useful when you have lots of shopping to do or if you need to perform other tasks while carrying your baby. Babies wear better protected from the elements when they are wearing hats, gloves, and coats. These products should be purchased for your child rather than your baby wearing them because some wearers don't like being dressed up but would love a coat or hat that isn't too big for them. Your baby will enjoy having new items to play with and take an interest in when placed in familiar situations. Even though carrier choices are numerous, there is no right or wrong choice when selecting a baby carrier.
