 The best-selling book,
Baby Sense™ reveals that the answer to these concerns lies in your baby's sensory world. Your baby's response to his sensory world is the key to having a baby who is happily awake, learning from his world (Happy Days) or falling asleep with ease and sleeping peacefully for long stretches (Peaceful Nights). We've paired it with the
Baby Sense baby sling, designed to encourage moms and dads to wear their babies in the optimal position. The baby sling's soft,
100% cotton breathable fabric cocoons the new baby in a fetal position, which supports the neck well essential for the newborn. Curled up snugly
in the sling's padded sides (for
extra comfort and safety), close to the parent, the baby is calmed in a familiar womb like - environment. The movement stimulation, as well as the snug hold of the sling, promotes sleep. Makes perfect sense!
