I don't know about other mothers, but I absolutely LOVE wearing Zoë. Wes loves wearing her, too. In fact, we sometimes "fight" over who gets to wear her...but because Wes is so great, I usually win. :)
It's one thing to hold her, but for some reason wearing her feels like she's so much closer to me! Perhaps it's because it reminds me of being pregnant with her. To be honest, I never thought I'd miss being pregnant because pregnancy was pretty miserable for me, to be honest, I'll save that story for another time though. I do miss being pregnant, though, and baby wearing gives me a little taste of that feeling again.
Aside from that, however, there are a bunch of benefits to baby wearing also! It's said to promote healthy mental and physical development, help babies cry less, be good for baby's emotional development, bonding with your baby, advance your baby's learning abilities, enhance your baby's social development, and prevent "flat-head" syndrome! Not to mention as an added plus, it allows you to be hands-free and gives your arms a rest.
I'm a big fan for all of these reasons. I often use mine when we go out shopping, on walks or to fun places like the zoo! Zoë is a pretty curious little lady and it allows her to see things since she is too young to sit upright in a stroller. I love watching her gaze at things as we walk about.
