The Introduction

Babies Are Special

Babies are wonderful and every baby is unique. They are our legacy in this world. The bond between the parents and the babies is just priceless. Babies love to be cuddled and hugged by their parents – they love the warmth and security of being close to us.

Odd Tough Times

However, once in a while these cute and adorable human being do give us the parents some hard and tough times especially when they get cranky and clingy. Sometimes they fall sick and become clingy and this is when they need us the most. They need to be held constantly at times like these to help them recover and be calmer and re-assured but this is not necessarily comfortable for the parents for long duration, to be honest. It's ok and bearable for certain duration of time but if the baby needs a little longer time to be held then it might become a handful task for the parents.

Babies Are Curious

They are very curious with the new world and new life experiences. They like to explore everything that they come across with. They love to get involved in what their parents do, for example doing house chores - Cleaning, hoovering, mopping, dishwashing, cooking , everything else. They just want to do it together with you. It's quite difficult to do all sorts of things while holding your baby. Sometimes it might hurt your arm because one hand is doing something else and the other is holding your cute and ever curious baby.

Mobilising Your Baby

When we are outside our house going somewhere maybe for shopping or even just strolling in a park we don't actually want to leave our baby behind. We would just feel missing on something and incomplete. You may wish to enjoy outdoor activities with them – hiking, walking by the beach, playing ball at the park, shopping. There are a lot of ways of mobilising your baby together with you and one of the most common one is using a stroller. We do have a stroller for our baby and sometimes we have problems when we go to places where there are massive crowds. It's hard to push through the stroller in between large crowds. It's also difficult to bring the stroller when we are using an escalator especially in shopping complex. With the weight of the stroller and our baby inside who is getting bigger and bigger day by day it's just too risky. So it's better and safer to use lifts which sometimes are very limited in some places. Plus, the baby just hates being in the stroller! He loves to be closer to us!Now with the better option of babywearing, the stroller is long forgotten.

The Unique and Flexible Babywearing

For some people, babywearing is one of the answer for most of the situations above which I believe most parents have experienced them. However, it's a personal choice really because different people have different kind of views and opinions. You yourself know best of what is best for you, your family and your baby. We love babywearing because of its uniqueness and ranges of flexibility that it offers. The most important reason is because babywearing provides great opportunity for fostering the special bond between the parents and the baby.There are various types of babywearing gear to name a few, simple piece of cloth (SPOC), pouch, ring sling, wrap, soft structured carrier (SSC) and Mei-Tai. Further general information on babywearing can be read here.

We love two shouldered carrier like SSC and Mei-Tai. Of all baby carriers, we prefer Mei-Tai the most.
