To Wear or Not to Wear. There is NO Question.

I have been wearing my babies since the beginning of my mothering days. But I’m no expert. I just feel it is was a good way to keep my babies close and safe. Yes, I said SAFE. Because babywearing IS safe.

I used to wear The B Man while I did dishes. Sometimes it was the only way he would fall asleep while I needed to get a few things done. I think it was because he could hear my heartbeat and feel me walk, just like when he was in the womb.

When G was born I purchased two pouch slings and I still use one of them with K (see next pic below this one).

And K has been all over Louisiana in a sling! Either the one I bought from Kim or one of the slings I purchased from slinglings.com. I don’t have a wide fancy collection, I just have the few that have worked best for me.

In light of the recent recalls by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commision) Steph has asked for a call to action. Please visit her to get all the “deets” and join the movement to let people know that babywearing IS safe and one of the best ways to bond with and transport your baby.

And if you’re so inclined, write your own post and link up at Adventures in Babywearing.
