WHY WEAR CHICKEN SCRATCH? 

You are exhausted! You have been trying to calm your little baby for hours. You are drained and trying to operate on 2 hours of sleep. Finally, you get him back to sleep, so you sit down for some much needed rest... BUT WAIT... he woke up crying again! What do you do? You have tried everything...
Have you tried wearing him? I don't mean just carrying him, but wearing him? It has been proven that babies carried in slings cry less. They are close to their mama. They are snuggled in warmth, just like in your womb, and they can smell their mother. They can hear her breathing, her soothing heartbeat, and everything is now familiar to them. They need you and you need them, but you also need your rest. You need to wash some dishes. You need to eat, but how? When you carry your baby in a ChicKen ScRatch Sling, you can achieve all of this and much more. You can now care for your baby and carry him while doing the dishes, vacuuming or even just eating. You can have both arms back! There are so many different types of baby gear on the market that entertain the baby, giving them stimulation with lights and sounds. They make it possible for moms to get a shower when they realize it’s been days since they’ve done anything but change a shirt when they’ve been spit up on. But what about the baby carrier? I don't mean the kind that your baby's legs dangle from while facing out and are uncomfortable for both of you. I mean the kind that promote bonding, the ones that are comfortable for both of you, the kind that allows you to do everything you need to do. I mean a ChicKen ScRatch Sling. Get beyond the Baby Bjorn into a truly functional, practical, comfortable, usable carrier. Sure, plenty of people get along fine without one, but what about the quality of life they would have had if they had one? What if they could have had more energy, more free time or a happier baby? Below are a few reasons why you need a ChicKen ScRatch Sling.
Babies are fussy... They cry and they want to be held. They need you to hold and comfort them! How many hours do moms spend pacing the floor calming a fussy baby? Using a sling will help you do this! You can put your sling on, snuggle with your baby, calm him and save your energy for the many other things you still need to do. You can also have your arms back! You can work on the computer while wearing your fussy baby like Heather has done many times!
Carried babies cry less! Carrying your baby in a ChicKen ScRatch Sling will calm them down sooner or prevent crying altogether. It will comfort them and save you from frustration which drains you! Babies love to be next to their moms (and dads and grandparents and childcare providers!) They love to hear the heartbeat and that helps them cry less. Being in a sling, warm and cuddled up, reminds them of the womb. Your neck, shoulders and arms won't hurt anymore because you are wearing your baby instead of simply carrying him.
Wearing a colicky baby in a sling is a lifesaver for parents!
Heather has 2 kids, a boy and a girl. BOTH of them had colic as babies. Any parent of a colicky baby knows exactly what this means. Many long hours of cuddling, carrying, walking, bouncing, talking, singing, dancing, whatever it takes to soothe the colic. Once you get your colic groove and find what soothes the baby, you had better keep it up or you'll have to start all over again when the screaming starts. Wearing her babies made it possible for her and her husband to survive those long colicky nights with no problem. Often Heather would sit on a bouncy yoga ball wearing her baby while she typed away on the computer getting work done or just chatting with friends online.
No bulky strollers! Sure, strollers have their time and place, but it isn't when you are in the grocery store where the aisles are too narrow, people are getting their heels knocked because you can't see over the stroller and your baby is crying. Just put on your ChicKen ScRatch Sling, throw those groceries in the cart and go about your day. The people with bruised heels will thank you!
If you are someplace like an amusement park or the zoo you might be getting your baby in and out of the stroller all day long. With a ChicKen ScRatch Sling you can pop baby in and out quickly and easily, or just keep baby in the sling for awhile as you go from attraction to attraction.
If you are running lots of errands, there's no more hassle getting in and out of the car. Throw on the sling, grab baby and run into the store, bank, or whatever.
Tend to your older child!
How often do you see moms with 2 or more children in a parking lot struggling to hold their dangling baby in one arm, hold their toddler's hand with the other and keep their diaper bag from falling off their shoulder? Then the toddler's shoe comes untied. Now what? With a ChicKen ScRatch Sling you can have your hands free to hold tie shoes, hold hands, wipe dirty faces, or whatever else you need to do. Imagine how easy potty trips will be now with both hands free to help your 3 year old while you still hold your baby!
Don’t lug the infant carseat around! Those things are HEAVY and carrying them can be bad for your back! Notice how you see the parents leaning to one side? That's not good for you. Most of the time, you lug the carseat into the store and baby starts screaming to get out of it anyways. So here you are trying to manage holding your screaming baby, carrying the carseat, and your diaper bag. What are you supposed to do with the items you are purchasing? Oh yeah, they don't fit in the cart now because the carseat is taking up the space! So grab your sling and stand up straight and tall, carry your baby and both of you will feel better.
Let your baby see the world from your point of view! Picture yourself out on a walk pointing out new sights to your baby. Think about how great it would be to see it from your point of view! Plus with your baby next to you, you can see their eyes light up when they see Grandma coming up the walkway for a visit! As an added bonus, people love to talk to sling babies because they are already at eye level, so they get lots of face to face contact!
