Babywearing for Parents with RA

0
By Mariah Z Leach on April 29, 2019 Baby

There are many benefits to babywearing – from increased bonding, to reduced crying, and the ability to get something done! But for parents living with rheumatoid arthritis, there may be some added benefits – like the ability to hold and carry your baby even if your hands and wrists are flaring!

After many years of babywearing, Mariah Leach shares her insight on different types of carriers – including wraps, mei tais, ring slings, soft structured carriers, and toddler carriers – and what it’s like to use them while living with arthritis.
