Baby wearing

I am a total believer in baby wearing... It promotes bonding and soothes and calms infants. I wore Claire most days during the first 4 months of her life because that was the only place she was happy. If I wasn't wearing her I was feeding her. Wyatt has been such an easy self soothing newborn thus far.... Until about a week ago. Since he suffered from thrush and his ear infection he has been a little more needy. It's a little different this time... I don't have all day to sit around and hold him and stare in his baby blues. This is where my baby carriers come in handy. For the past week mornings have been rough with Wyatt waking from gas pains and being quite fussy for a couple of hours. Unless he is eating, he is crying. I feel so bad for him, and I feel so bad for Claire. I usually resort to a Disney movie and a quick easy breakfast so that I can walk with him. But I realized I have 3 perfectly good carriers... And he loves them. Instant silence. The moby is my favorite, but we have also used a bjorn and sling this past week and they do wonders!! It's a good thing I love wearing my babies close to my heart... Cause 4 hours out of my day is spent that way.
