One of our first Baby Expos was in Melbourne, so of course it holds a very special place in our heart. It is also where we came across one of our very first Babes in Arms demonstrators. Today we introduce you to Suzanne, Mother to Cody (stepson) 10, Malakai 3 and Indigo 1.
What is your preferred ERGObaby position?
I love the Back Carry now that my kids are older. There is nothing better than a hands free piggy back. It is also great for around the house when you are trying to get dinner prepared because they don’t get between you and whatever you’re cooking
I loved the front carry when my babies were little. The closeness and security I could provide for them, especially when I was out and about, in the ERGO couldn’t be matched by anything
Funniest/Most unique/most enjoyable experience wearing your ERGO?
Last year my husband and I went to the Royal Melbourne Show with Malakai and Indigo. We brought along 2 ERGO’s, a small backpack with lunch and that’s it. We stashed everything in a locker and enjoyed the sites. When the kids started to get tired, out came the ERGO’s. It was wonderful that we weren’t restricted to areas that we could move around in as some of the enclosures didn’t allow prams. Later in the afternoon Malakai and Indigo both fell asleep and we strolled around the show hand in hand with the babes on our backs. It was so liberating being able to walk around with no baggage. We gained some lifelong memories with our kids and then followed it with some precious mummy and daddy time
What you think you bring to the role of a Babes in Arms demonstrator?
I am so looking forward to educating fellow parents and sales staff about all the benefits of the ERGO along with babywearing in general. You don’t have to be a full time babywearer or a follower of attachment parenting to enjoy the benefits of carrying your baby. Benefits include bonding, safety, cost savings etc. These benefits can be felt by not only mums, but dads, relatives and other caregivers alike.
