"""This book has been a long time coming. Caregivers have always carried their babies, using various materials and designs, throughout diverse cultures, and throughout time, with the primary purpose of keeping infants safe. This book is novel in summarizing what we know about babywearing, how science confirms much of what we already suspected, and why babywearing is the first parenting practice that you can adopt with your baby to promote well-being for the whole family. -Lela Rankin, PhD"
