Single mom in the city, parents on the go or with a large family: Babywearing makes everything easier! For me, babywearing means:
- Giving him time to sleep , allowing me to share quality time with his brothers and sisters, and yes, no jealousy , we think of everyone!
- Cook on time so that the siblings don't turn into a gang of hungry little monsters.
- Have a telephone appointment without interference (You know, the endless 45 minutes with the Caf or social security...)
- Spending time with my friends and avoiding being isolated, half the evening, in the baby's room .
- Allowing myself a relaxing break , nestled deep in my favorite armchair, without falling asleep of course
- Offer my baby a safe space in the crowd and protect him from street stimuli: noise, smell, color (see article on carrying facing the world ) If it can prevent him from having his cheek pinched by the annoying little Grandma "how cute is this baby!"
- Accompany me during the long nighttime trips up and down the hallway , trying to get the baby back to sleep after a nightmare. You know, when you're so sleepy that the only strength you have left is to move your pelvis to rock the baby and hum a lullaby, which you hope will be effective! It's cheaper than driving around the block, and I even have the luxury of staying in my pajamas ...
