Baby slings have increased in popularity mainly because parents have begun to realize that having a sling and carrying your baby serves a number of useful purposes. It allows either mom and dad to keep the baby close which also helps with the bonding process while reducing the strain on the arms from carrying a baby for long periods of time.
It also allows you to hold your baby and still have use of your hands and arms when the situation demands it.

The baby slings young mothers use today, were not invented recently. This type carrier has been used by the native American people hundreds of years ago. Many cultures used a sling of some type, because the woman had to have her hands free to do other work. But the sling kept the baby near so the mother could easily care for her child as needed.
You can find many patterns online, as to how to make a one. Most of them are free. It doesn't involve a great deal of fabric or sewing skill to make one up. If you are new to sewing you could always practice on making one for a little girl to carry her doll.

Of course something handmade is so much more personal. You can use the colors the mom loves and even embroider the baby's name on it.
Another nice thing about having a baby sling pattern on hand is you are always ready because they do not take long to make. Many times when shopping for slings you simply can not find one that seems cute enough for a new baby or stylish enough for the mother.
