Have you ever seen a mother struggling with a baby on her hip, her body twisted to do so, and the jerk required every so often to re-position the baby back on the hip, perhaps while trying to chase or hold on to an older sibling, wipe a runny nose, etc?
Or how about the proud new parents pushing a very expensive and empty travel system around a local supermarket, while one of them carries the crying baby, rocking and shushing in the hope of giving comfort?
Baby-wearing is the practice of carrying your baby close in a sling or carrier, while allowing the caregiver the freedom to move about and carryout different tasks.
