Connection matters. So encouraging to hear it it said to such a huge audience what so many of us in the babywearing community are saying over and over: we need to hold and carry our children - touch matters- and help parents build those strong, stable and nurturing relationships #ACEAwareNation #carryingmatters #mentalhealthmatters #whybabywearingmatters #softtouchmatters #wearallthebabies https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMK1C9FtZq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=me3cyci4bgjn

I have a really lovely Aunty... she knows what I do and saw this in the paper, cut it out and sent it to me, saying "keep going." I shall keep going.... and today I helped a family whose baby has had a very tough start to life begin to use a sling. The happiness was palpable.. "we have a lot of bonding to catch up on" they said. Absolutely. There is so much healing in love that can be felt as soft and gentle touch. Parents are NOT PERIPHERAL to their babies' care! #carryingmatters #softtouchmatters #mentalhealthmatters #lovematters #sciencematters
