Everybody's doing it - well moms and dads in increasing numbers are doing it! They are wearing their baby!

Baby slings and baby carriers are taking families by storm - they are the newest 'must have' baby gear. And leading the way are famous people like Brad and Angelina - they both wear baby carriers.

You can find them in all shapes and forms - the one you choose will depend on your lifestyle. They are fashionable, functional and built for comfort. You can choose a back frame carrier for outdoor adventures, a sling for out-and-about in the city, and a wrap style for being close to your baby.

The sale of baby carriers has grown in leaps and bounds in the past few years for a wide range of reasons. Here are 5 reasons why baby wearing is so popular - maybe you want to join the in-crowd?

1. Flexibility. Today's moms and dads are multi-taskers - they have to be to get everything done that they want to get done. It is hard to accomplish everything if you are holding your baby much of the day the old traditional way (that is, without a carrier). A carrier provides the flexibility to free your hands so that you can look after baby and at the same time accomplish other tasks.

2. Comfort. Baby carriers are comfortable for both the baby and for the parent carrying the child. Once you get used to wearing the carrier and see how comfortable they are to wear for you and your baby you will probably wear your carrier a fair bit. Today's modern carriers are ultra comfortable since they are designed to distribute weight across the shoulders and back of the person doing the carrying which greatly enhances the comfort.

3. Carrier can be used for newborn babies (some types of carriers) and they can also be used to carry older children (especially useful on a full day outing to a museum or to the zoo). This means that the carrier can have a long-life for families.

4. Reduces baby crying. A content baby is a happy baby. And a happy baby cries less. Holding a baby close to you increase their contentment - there is no better way to hold a baby close than using a baby carrier.

5. Privacy for feeding time. If your baby is a breastfed baby mom's that use a baby carrier have the luxury of providing privacy during feeding times. Sling and wrap carriers allow you to easily position the baby in the carrier during feeding times. This means that baby can be fed almost anywhere.

More and more celebrities are having children, and in our celebrity-centric world people watch what they do. And they are using baby slings to wear their baby. So when celebrities are doing it - it logically follows that the general public will follow suit.

It used to be just moms carrying their baby. Not anymore. Dads in increasing numbers are finding out the joy, happiness and benefits of using a baby carrier to carry their baby.
