babywearing

noun

Definition of babywearing

: the act or practice of keeping an infant close to an adult’s torso by using a supporting device that straps to the front of the adult’s body We've always wanted to present a primer on babywearing for parents who wished to try it but felt intimidated by the practice. After all, to the uninitiated, baby can look a bit precarious when wrapped to mom.— Mothering, January/February 2007
