Babywear Smart

It's okay to put the baby down..

As a babywearing consultant, I often share to parents the positive effects and ease in parenting and taking care of the child when babywearing when..

That babywearing can help us do multiple tasks at once, that we have free hands to use to carry other things..that babywearing allows us to meet the needs of the child..and yes, all of those are true..

But also, I realized that somehow, maybe, I am sending this hidden or other message that we, moms, should constantly be in the state of doing, doing, doing, and that rest is a reward because well, we have a carrier to help us get by our days, so we don't have an excuse to not do other tasks..

So here's my virtual hug to you, moms..

And a reminder that it's okay to put the baby down..

It’s okay to put the baby down when you are physically tired..
It’s okay to put the baby down when you feel touched out and touched up..
It’s okay to put the baby down when everything feels overwhelming..
It’s okay to put the baby down when you need to rest for a bit..
It’s okay to put the baby down and ask for help..
It’s okay to put the baby down and just breathe..
It’s okay to put the baby down and..
and you don't need to feel guilty for doing it, whatever your reason is..

Your deserve rest..
Rest is not a reward but a requirement..
Motherhood is not a performance..
And being a mom does not require perfection..

Your maternal mental health matters too, mom..

Yes, baby carriers do help us get by.
I, myself, found my wraps and slings a lifesaver..
Being a full-time mom, with work, with no help..
My slings were my allies..
To this day, I still can't imagine how my early motherhood would have been had I not tried babywearing..

But, for others, that may not be the case..

Baby carriers and slings are just a tool, our extra hands, our parenting "assistant"..what your child needs is a happy mom..

Happy moms raise happy kids..

Babywear, and #babywearsmart when you need to, or when you find it helpful for you,.but again, it's okay to put the baby down for a while and listen to your body, breathe, rest, ask for help.

it's okay,.🙏🏻

You are a great mom..✨

Love,
Sassy🤍

It's been 6 years now since I got this email from my first babywearing coach, Victoria, from the School of Babywearing..

2016.
Since I carried our firstborn, in that beige stretchy wrap..
After several times of trying to make it work for us, despite Kuya's intense crying..
The moment he fell asleep..
The moment I felt his calmness on my chest..
I knew I had to share this to all the moms I know..

And while yes, I may have already reached my sunset babywearing phase..
My love for babywearing hasn't changed..
It just intensified even more..
To lengths, plans and ideas yet to unfold in His perfect time.

Our boys may have outgrown our slings..
And my slings have already faded as well..
But my goal to make safe and ergonomic babywearing be known by more Filipinos..
My goal to make traditional Fililino babywearing be practiced by more Filipinos..
My goal to make babywearing more affordable for more Filipino families..
My goal to make Asian babywearing brands rise and be known in the international arena..
And to make babywearing be recognized and practiced in the hospital from day 1, even beyond..especially in the NICU here in the Philippines..
Still fuels this passion that I have in me..

For me, this is not just about making video demos, or selling baby carriers..
It’s all about nurturing the parent and child connection from birth..

I hope, in my lifetime, I get to see the fruits of our collective efforts..

Here's to more years of sharing the babywearing love.. 🤍
