About Me
When my oldest daughter was born in 1996 I used a horrible mass produced baby carrier that was extremely uncomfortable, but it served the purpose. I continued to use the same type of carrier thru my next two children, but when my middle son was born in 2003 I just couldn't bear the thought of doing it again. Very soon after his birth I began searching for a better way to have my hands free to tend to my other kids or get anything done around the house. I came across a mom selling a homemade ring sling on a forum and bought it, but when it arrived I couldn't figure out how to get on nor be comfortable in it. I tossed it in a closet, forgot about it, and went back to the Snugli.

By the time he was a couple months old I couldn't take it anymore! My back and shoulders were killing me so I went in search of the ring sling I'd purchased, I was determined to figure it out. Eventually I did, but then there was another issue. The rings were incredibly thin and while tightening it up one day I pulled them thru each other and nearly dropped my baby boy! It was then that I went and bought a set of steel harness rings and sewed my very first sling. It wasn't long until I'd sewn myself many slings to match different outfits and tweaked my pattern what seemed like dozens of times. Soon after people started to notice my slings and I began selling my slings locally at craft fairs, festivals, and the like. In March of 2004 I opened Christy's Creations online.

Benefits of Babywearing
Wearing your baby is extremely convenient! It allows you to walk around without having to worry about steps, crowds, aisles and all the other bothersome things you have to be concerned with while using a stroller. Car seats are awkward and bulky for parents to carry and position your baby at your knees where they are not seeing, learning, and experiencing the world.

A sling can help focus a distracted baby while nursing and can make discreet nursing easily achievable in public places. Slings and carriers are wonderful to use as a changing pad, blanket, or burp cloth when away from home.

Wearing your baby also promotes bonding! When a baby is attached to a parent or caregiver, he feels connected to that person and feels comforted as he was in the womb. Research has shown that when preemies are touched, cuddled, and held, they gain weight quicker and are healthier in general than preemies that are not. Swings, bouncers, and other unnatural devices do not promote the same benefits.

Finding time to exercise with a newborn is usually difficult, but wearing your baby makes it easier! You can take a brisk walk, benefiting you both. Wearing your baby is soothing to him, making him calmer and can help prevent over-stimulation.

Toddlers can quickly feel overwhelmed by strangers in public places, but when securely in a sling may feel more confident. Instead of running loose in a crowd or other dangerous places, a toddler in a sling or carrier is held safely next to you.

Slings and baby carriers are generally more affordable than strollers or framed backpacks, and simpler to use. Many mothers consider the sling to be one of their most useful and economical possessions, and with any luck, you will too.
