Fold up the strollers and keep whats most precious close to your heart.
is there an animal duo that personifies the bond of mother and child as much as a kangaroo and her joey? With her cosy pouch, a mama kangaroo is in constant contact with her baby. It’s so warm and comforting in there, some joeys continue to stay nestled in their mother’s pouch for up to 10 months. The human baby is no different; after 40 weeks in the womb, they continue to crave being close to their mothers. While we don’t have that marsupial advantage, a simple piece of cloth can give you a chance to enjoy unparalleled closeness as your little one’s heart beats alongside your own.
Toting your baby around with a carrier, or babywearing, is not a new idea. In the past, women of tribes and villages didn’t have the luxury of pushing their babies around in strollers. Mothers needed their hands free to gather food and toil the land, and the only way to care for the kids was to take them along. After the stroller came into fashion, babywearing became regarded as a practice of the “lower class”. Even today, some negativity over babywearing continue to persist, with some raising concerns that it spoils and developmentally stunts children. However, parents who chose to “wear” their baby, can attest to how it helps build stronger bonds between parents and their bundle of joy.
