This link shows more information on just what this piece of material can do, it's quite amazing. I've been really keen on the whole 'babywearing' thing since before I was pregnant this time and wish I would have done it more with Jake.
Wearing your baby in a baby sling or baby carrier has several benefits:
Less Crying - Babies who are carried cry less on average than those that are not. Research has shown that babies who are carried cry (on average) 43% less overall and 54% less during the evening hours.
Smarter Babies - Babies spend more time in a "quiet, alert state" when carried - the ideal state for learning. When carried, your baby sees the world from where you do, instead of the ceiling above his crib or people's knees from a stroller.This extra stimulation benefits brain development.
Emotional Development - Babies are able to develop a sense of security and trust when they are carried. They are more likely to be securely attached to their care-giver/s and often become independent at an earlier age.
Physical Development - By being close to your body's rhythms, baby "gets in rhythm" much more quickly. Research has shown how this helps newborns (especially premature babies) to adapt to life outside the womb.
Helps with Post Partum Depression - Babies who are not held need more verbal interaction and eye contact, just to be reassured that you're there. Moms who may suffer from Post Partum depression will find that carrying their baby is a great way to connect with her (and provide stimulation too) without the "burden" of having to interact. Of course your baby is "right there" to enjoy whenever you feel like snuggling, kissing or talking. This is by no means a cure or solution for Post Partum Depression, always seek counsel from your physician first.
Eases the strain - Carrying your baby in a sling eases the strain on babies spine and your back!

I ended up ordering from the US - as a US product, it was cheaper to order from there and get it shipped over than it is was to buy it here. Just means it will take 2-4 weeks to get here. I've heard such great things about it, I can't wait to start practicing!!

How lovely, you will love it I am sure. We had a sling for Sam and he loved it, and while he was little, it was so great for going shopping or a walk etc or getting things done at home. Hope it all goes well.
