When you were pregnant, did you plan on wearing your baby?
No, I didn't even register for a carrier or wrap! When my son was just a few weeks I bought a Moby Wrap. It changed our entire relationship. He went from miserable baby to the happiest, most content little guy ever.
What do you love about babywearing?
Having my son close and still being able to get things done. Babywearing doesn't just keep him calm & happy, it mellows me out too.
What is the most common comment you receive when you are out and about baby babywearing?
It's almost always a comment about how cute & happy he is. He always has a smile on his face when I'm wearing him and people comment on it every time.
Is your partner a keen babywearer?
He is afraid of wraps but he wears our son in the ERGO every single night. He even has his very own ERGO! He's always offering to wear him when we're out and about.
How many carriers do you own? Which one's do you use the most?
Right now we have 3 with another on the way. I am saving up for a Wrap Conversion though!
What's the first thing you'd tell someone thinking about trying babywearing?
You won't regret it. It makes like so much easier and it makes for a happy baby. If you're breastfeeding, it is the easiest way to do it hands-free.
Have your babywearing habits changed from your first to your second child?
I'm still on my first child. If I could guess though, I would think I would babywear even more with number two since I will be chasing number one around.
What activity are you most likely to rely on babywearing to get done?
Running errands. I keep a SSC in my car. We haven't used his stroller since he was a month or so old.
And lastly, what's your favourite babywearing photo?
I've attached a few but my absolute favorite is the one of him in the Moby Wrap. That was the first time I put him in it and he immediately fell asleep with a grin on his face!
