I love to babywear, and have had Max in front, hip and back carrys since he was tiny. As well as being practical, leaving me with 2 hands free for the older 2 children, I can truly sing the praises of the kangaroo care effect – having had 3 babies through special care now, we practiced kangaroo care with all of them, and it definitely helped with the bonding process. To me, babywearing is just an extension of this.
Designed to hold your baby close straight from birth, the Kanga wrap baby carrier meets the kangaroo care criteria and was developed by midwives. Cool, lightweight and able to carry babies up to 15kg, the Kanga wrap is the perfect introduction to the world of babywearing. Profits from the sale of these wraps goes towards helping maternity care in Delhi slums – so it’s a winner all round in my eyes!

I haven’t tried babywrapping before (we are currently trying for our first baby, so I am looking at baby ‘stuff’ with excitement) I will try this when we eventually do have a baby as it looks like it puts the baby in a far more natural position than those baby carrier things with the leg holes (don’t know what they are called lol) they look like they put strain on the babies hips. Also I think it would give the baby a sense of security and closeness which should keep it calm and relaxed (a bit like being in the womb) finally it leaves your hands free to go about your day!
I haven’t tried babywearing but would like to!
Love the closeness and cuddles

Yes, I’ve tried it and its the best feeling in the world. Its comfortable and lovely. It saves getting the pushchair out of the car too!
Yes, I’ve tried it. Not only fantastically bonding and convenient but also very liberating.
No, not tried it yet
That looks so cute! x
No I have not tried before, but looking to give it a go with baby number 2 due in November x
Never done it, but hoping to start once the baby is here
I have never tried before x
Sorry have not tried it before.
We have a mei tai and I love having my baby near me and especially in the very beginning it’s so much easier to carry them if you want to do anything rather than trying to balance the baby on one arm and do stuff with just one hand <3 x
Plan to try it with my next one x
yes long before it was fashionable. It is handy for settling a crying baby. It makes living in a top floor flat easier as dont need to drag the pram down the stairs half a dozen times a day an it is an easy was of cooking when baby wont settle ( as long as baby is not big enough to reach out and grab anything on the cooker)
