Belief Statements

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Babywearing International believes that:

* Baby carriers are powerful tools for parents and caregivers, enabling them to hold their babies more comfortably, more securely, and longer than they would otherwise.
* The practice of using baby carriers, defined as babywearing, is beneficial for both children and caregivers. Babywearing fulfills a child’s need to be held, while its utility makes the lives of caregivers easier.
* Babywearing promotes bonding between children and their caregivers.
* All types of baby carriers have value, and caregivers have the benefit of a wide range of available options.
* Baby carriers should be comfortable for both child and caregiver, and can be used for as long as is mutually desired by children and their caregivers.
* Babywearing is compatible with any parenting style or philosophy.
* With education and support, children and caregivers can benefit from the ease, comfort and utility of babywearing.
