February Competition! I’ll Take the Stairs Thanks: When Only Babywearing Will Do!

One of the most practical advantages of babywearing is that you can go anywhere your legs can take you.

Stairs? No problem!

Crowded shop with skinny aisles? Done.

A train trip to the city during peak hour? No missing that trip and no need for assistance to board.

Sunset stroll along a sandy beach? Of course.

Ahhh….bush track with pot holes?  Easy peasy!

Your endurance is your only limit! Babies and toddlers love the closeness that babywearing brings, and it certainly assists with bonding.

This month Babes in Arms would like to celebrate the freedom babywearing provides beyond the pram for parents and carers.

Leave a reply, in your own words, about what babywearing adventures you have taken that a pram could never have afforded. If you are an expectant parent, tell us about the babywearing adventures you dream of taking when your precious bundle arrives.

Secondly, visit our ERGObaby organics range and mention which colour you would like your carrier to be if you were to win.

December / January “Babywearing Smile” Competition WINNER!

Paul was the December / January “Babywearing Smile” ERGObaby Sport carrier winner with his gorgeous entry:

“I’m a Dad.

One thing dads can never have is the bonding experience of carrying a baby inside them. I see my wife as she proudly and tenderly holds her belly (“His head is over here, and his feet are here. Oh, he’s got hiccups!”), and I feel a little sad that I can never experience that sharing time.

But once he’s born, I can carry him close to me, feel his weight, his every wriggle. He can hear my heart and breathing, smell me, and I can softly talk and sing to him. He can nuzzle close, and sleep safely against his dad’s chest.

It’s something very significant for dads. I don’t know how it compares to carrying a child inside, but it’s very special – and when I see other dads carrying their babies on their fronts, there’s always a look we share. It’s a bit of a smile, a quiet one, a connected look, that says “This is the best – and I know that you feel it too”.

I carried my first son in a carrier on my front, as much and as long as I could. Now we’re tight, him and me – we’re bonded, we’re mates. Son number two is on his way now, and he will be carried the same way – with son number one walking beside me holding my hand.”
