A tribute to...BabyWearning Week!!

10/10/2015

 
October 4th-10th happens to be International Babywearing Week of 2015!
I'm a member in Babywearing Beirut (FB closed group) & as a tribute for #IBW2015 we are requested to write a blog/article about babywearning & how it makes US feels!! Personally, I'm not a babywearing MUM, however, I will be delighted to shed the light on this sweet practice for other Mums to join in & enjoy what I've missed!!

But 1st..What is Babywearning?

Babywearing: "is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. Babywearing has been practiced for centuries around the world. In the industrialized world, babywearing has gained popularity in recent decades. Part of the reason for this shift is due to the influence of advocates of attachment parenting. Babywearing is a form of baby transport which can be enjoyed for as long as mutually desired, often until toddlerhood and beyond .[1] As with any acquired skill, babywearing can take some practice in the early days, but the benefits are soon, if not immediately recognized, and it is seen by many proponents as an enjoyable and practical art."

Babywearning Events...

#‎BabywearingBeirut‬ threw a gathering last Sunday to kick off ‪#‎ibw2015‬ ‪which was held in Horch Tabet/ Sin el Fil Public Garden.. I joined in with my family for the fun, I was able to put faces to names I know from the group & enjoyed chatting with the other mums I already know...We had 1st competition task & I was amazed to learn about all the different ways & styles a mum can babywear her child!! Winners enjoyed their  prizes, kids got to play & then we had a treasure hunt maze with more tips & ideas all were related to babywearing.. I believe picture will say it all....

Looking at all these happy relaxed Mums wearing their kids made me feel a bit envious!! Just yesterday I wrote a post "Tribute to all overwhelmed Mums" & how tired and burnt out I feel!! Now, looking back at these pictures added to my old & very first and only time I wore my baby in a very wrong carrier (which demotivated from further carrying her & I didn't even look for alternatives!!)
SO, for the mums who simply carry & not wear their babies they will know and feel the hassle of it all!! Running around the house trying to finish pending chores, or walking down the street, or playing with your older child!! ALL of these tasks look simplified to the babywearing mums...& I say wish it was ME!!

So MUMS...
keep wearing your babies proudly..
enjoy your extra free hands... 
and above all enjoy the lovely feeling of their warm little bodies so close to you among many other endless benefits for both of you!!

Happy Babywearing week!!
