The In-Arms Period; BabyWearing

the beautiful elizabeth and elodie of the littlest.
winner of the sakura bloom styleathon.

"The manner in which we approach the in-arms phase is important to consider. This phase is not one in which the child is consistently the center of attention. On the contrary, it is one in which the baby is simply present, in the midst of normal life and activity. From this vantage point, your baby learns about your world (not a contrived world centered exclusively around him or her), constantly observing and experiencing life with you. Your baby absorbs experiences of the "real" world, not a manufactured world in which adults are bored out of their minds and babies are given plastic imitations of adult tools to play with."  --Natalia Rose, CN and Amanda Dennis, MS Lifeforce Families, Birth to 5 Months
