It’s You and Me Baby

One of the oldest known forms of a baby carrier is the Chinese mei tei. This Asian baby carrier was originally simply a square piece of cloth that was outfitted with parallel straps that were twisted together to secure the child. In the 1960s a contemporary version of the mei tai was developed and popularized in Australia, and since then, there have been hundreds of variations on the carrier.

One of the most popular modern forms of the mei tai is the Maya Tie. It features the same general design but is constructed with high quality materials and is available in a variety of colors and designs. This carrier is much safer than the old-fashioned model and provides increased comfort for the parent and the child.

When I had my first child, I never wanted to let her out of my sight. I was even hesitant to let other people hold her, and was probably a bit over protective. After carrying my baby everywhere with me for a few months, I began to experience some intense lower back pain.

I went to my doctor and he informed me that I needed to find a better way to carry my baby in order to ease the strain on my back. He suggested that I try an ergo baby carrier. After using the new carrying system for just a week, I was able to hold my baby for hours without experiencing even the slightest pain.

Being a parent of young children can be exhausting.  It’s not just the sleep-deprivation but all the lifting, carrying, and cleaning up!  There are ways to make it a little easier.  Instead of holding your baby with one arm on your hip try wearing your baby in a baby wrap carrier or baby sling.  Baby carriers like these help by distributing the baby’s weight across your shoulders and back.  It really makes a huge difference and babies really enjoy being held.

Be active with ease – The CuddlyWrap™ wraps you and your baby together in soft, secure, 100% certified organic cotton. The strength is in the continuous length of fabric and the security is in the way the CuddlyWrap™ is tied. Multiple positions and hands free movement makes day to day activities easier. You can feed your baby without removing the CuddlyWrap™. Even when your baby is removed, you can continue wearing it until the next time it’s needed; it wears like a piece of clothing.  No doubt–baby wrap carriers are great baby carriers

With so many baby carrying options available, it can be difficult to decide what is right for you. There are an array of pouches and slings on the market, but some people are looking for something chic and unique.

A fashionable choice is the Asian influenced Maya Tie. This product is stylish and comes with broad, sturdy straps that wrap around the carrier for maximum support and even weight distribution. They are also versatile, allowing you to wear you child in front or on your back.

Wearing your baby is incredibly helpful in integrating your baby into your daily life. Not only is it practical to wear your baby but it is wonderfully reassuring to know that you are providing the richest and most beneficial environment that you possibly can.  There is a wonderful variety of baby carriers (including sling baby carriers, pouch baby slings, buckle and soft backpack carriers).  Many carriers can be used for different carrying positions which will accomodate children as they grow.  Many carriers can be used up to 35 or even 45 lbs which increases their versatility.

Finding a safe and secure way to transport your baby is an important decision for any parent. Not only is it important for the baby to be comfy, but you should be comfortable as well. Ergonomic baby carriers are specifically designed to maximize comfort for you and your baby while maintaining the highest standards of safety.

Ergonomics is the science of designing equipment and tools to properly fit the user. Products that are ergonomically designed prevent injury and excess strain during use. With an ergonomically designed baby carrier, wearing your child will feel natural, like the product was your own kangaroo pouch.

It is more than a baby carrier.  It is more than an image of a child who is peacefully snuggled against their parent.  It is a blink in time, a moment you will never get back.  It is the smell of your skin close to your child. It is the moment your baby looks up and slowly closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.  It is the ability to fold laundry, trim flowers, go to the market as your baby is happy and close to you. 

It is the strolls down old cobblestone streets, across open fields and busy cities.  It is the security of knowing, feeling, touching your child.  Knowing that you can not look away or just a split second and them be gone, because he is part of you, connected, bonded and secure.

It is what every parent wants–security of knowing what they are doing is the best, most safe, and healthiest thing for their baby.
