Babywearing





This seems to be the best way that we've found to soothe her so I've started wearing her for most of the day. I've been reading a lot about babywearing & I have fallen in love with the whole concept. It's awesome to look at all of the cultures where babywearing is the norm & to see all of the different styles of slings & carriers. I love having her so close to my heart where she can hear my breath & feel my skin. I want to wear her forever -- I hope she will love it for a long, long time Another nice thing about it is that since Ryan & I can both wear her it means that sometimes I get to shower & poop. Thank goodness for that.

My babygirl never much liked her slings or other baby carriers. I think because she would get so sweaty and has very sensitive skin=uncomf. I'm jelous! And you two are so cute.

Wait. You poop in the shower??

My daughter still remembers being worn in her sling. Occasionally, I get it out and sling her 3 year old self in it until my back aches. But she adored the closeness. We called her our koala bear... sniff...

Oh yes, I love me some babywearing. This last May, I was 6 months pregnant and had to travel across the country to my Grandmother's funeral. I took my 23 month old with me and she was having a very hard time with not knowing anyone. So, I wore her in the sling the whole time. Including when I was being a pallbearer at the funeral. Babywearing ROCKS! It is actually why I started making and selling slings, I love them so much!
