baby wearing- baby sling

Holding our babies until they’re ready to be let go is the most natural way to parent healthy children.  

Agreed! I've never bought any baby sling/ baby carrier before this. Ada baby carrier, tak beli sebab 2nd cousin bagi let go dia punya. Dari dulu pakai baby carrier. Sangat senang bila nak berjalan dengan hayyan and bila dia merap nak suruh dukung. Tak payah dukung pakai tangan dah melekat di badan mummy hehe. Tapi memandangkan peha hayyan dah nak macam drumstick ayam, lubang peha tu muat-muat ja. Plus baby carrier tu macam nampak sakit ja badan hayyan tergantung hehe. Baby carrier yang Dart pakai susah kalau takda orang tolong pakaikan. Perlukan pertolongan hubby or orang lain untuk nak keluar kan hayyan. Mungkin kalau pakai brand BABY BJORN takpa kot pakai sorang ha ha. (Semua harga rm300 lebih phew, apa kelebihan ek?).Untuk orang yang macam Dart duduk sorang, maka haruslah nak angkat baby masuk dalam baby carrier pun sorang! Pernahkah anda bayangkan kesusahan memasukkan peha hayyan dalam lubang carrier yang muat-muat tu? Sebelum masuk, kena angkat tinggi-tinggi hayyan yang dah 7 kilo itu. Kejap tersangkut sana, tersangkut sini. Argh last-last give up. Bertambah terseliuh tangan daku.

Why and How to Use a Baby Sling

---

Using a baby sling can make life easier for you and is very good for your baby. Below are some of the advantages of "wearing" your baby (fromThe Baby Book by William and Martha Sears):

• It's convenient. You can breastfeed discretely in a sling while working, getting things done around the house, shopping or eating in a restaurant. If you have a baby who wants to be held all the time, this is an easy way to meet her needs while doing other things.
• It helps moms care for older siblings. Carrying your baby in a sling can give you the mobility to care for your older children.
• It helps some babies to breastfeed better. Some babies, particularly those who are tense or tend to arch their backs, breastfeed better while moving. Also, babies who are slow to gain weight (for no apparent reason) have been known to gain better if carried in a sling for several hours a day, since proximity to mom encourages babies to eat more frequently.
• It reduces crying and colic. A 1986 study of 99 mother-infant pairs (reported inPediatrics) showed that carrying babies at least three hours a day reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night. Babies are happier because they have less need to cry, and parents enjoy their babies more as a result.
• It enhances learning. Carried babies have enhanced visual and auditory alertness, and increased "quiet alertness" times. Carrying a baby promotes cognitive development and speech development, since babies are exposed to more experiences and conversations.
• Carried babies are involved in their parents' world. They participate in life, rather than see it as a spectator.
• Carrying your baby promotes bonding and enhances parents' feelings of competence. A higher frequency of feeding and touching stimulates mothering hormones, and frequent carrying encourages and speeds the development of a mutual reading of each other's cues.

So, I've decided to switch into BABY SLING setelah menyedari betapa pentingnya baby wearing ni. baby carrier macam susah sikit berbanding baby sling ni. Setelah 2/3 hari mencari-cari di muka internet, membaca review segala, Dart berminat dengan BABA SLING brand. It's kind of baby sling, yang direka khas. Dart  minat jugak baby sling yang made from fabric, but macam malas ja nak kena adjust ring tu. Cool memanglah cool. Survey tak bersungguh-sungguh, maka tak dapat cari yang murah. Fabric ni buleh tahan mahai wo. Dart tengok lebih kurang rm200 lebih untuk dapat fabric yang corak best. 

cool kan? Kain pelikat ja.

Tapi yang ni lagi cool.

Dart apa-apa pun, cosmetic value rasa penting. Kalau tak cantik di mata, murah pun takkan beli. Kalau cantik, mahal kena fikir 40 kali. Last-last kalah dengan syaitonirrojimmm. So, nak yang mahal dan best tapi "murah"(sale), kenalah bekerja lebih sikit google sana cari tempat yang juai murah. Ada, boleh dapat best buy kalau berusaha sikit. Usaha kan tangga kejayaan. Kalau murah dan cantik dan berkualiti lagi bagus! Sep duit aku! ha ha. 

Back to BABA SLING, how does it look like?

Bagi model pakai la nampak sikit kan.

embroidered.cantiknya....

OK tak? Ok la kan...Asalkan baby selesa dan syok dapat rapat dengan mummy dalam sling tu. Baby sling ni ada buckles yang senang dan selamat dengan sekali klik. 

Macam tak best ja ketak atas lantai kan. 

Weh kat website yang post gambar ni la aku beli!

Google punya google dapat dengan harga 50% discount!

Harga asal rm300 but i got this for only rm150 yey~

Baba sling ni ada macam-macam corak, tapi hanya mampu beli yang navy blue ni takpa2. Tak kisah pun. Kalau ikut hati, merana. Ikutkan hati, nak yang embroidered nya cantik gila.. Kat Japan pun boom jugak. Selalu jugak dart tengok orang jepun bawak baby pakai baby sling ni. I am very happy to get to buy this sling. Dahla dapat best buy... Can't wait to use this sling. Ha kalau hayyan petang-petang merengek, aku boleh la masukkan dia dalam sling tu sambil buat keja! Tapi memang terbukti, baby yang lebih rapat dengan ibu will grow healthier! Dart kadang-kadang kalau hayyan merengek time pagi-pagi buta, terus angkat dan peluk di celak ketiak, terus tido lena tak bunyi langsung. Manja btul...Jangan nanti orang cop dia asyik-dok-bawah-ketiak mak dia sudah....Walapun memang malam-malam macam gitu hihi. 

not me. but i adore her look. i'll post some pictures of me soon.
