Why Babywearing Is Beautiful

When I was still pregnant with my second son, SB, I didn't buy much baby stuff since I still kept AS' old things; crib, stroller, walker, clothes, toys.  But of course there are some new stuff I had to buy as some are already way too worn, ragged or broken.  One of these is the baby carrier.

Five years ago, when AS was still a baby, we bought a baby carrier at a department store. It was the structured carrier / "backpack type" with all these straps and buckles.  We were able to use it for quite some time until it slowly tear up under the weight of AS.  It was so bulky and albeit AS might have felt uncomfortable in it.

During my 8th month of pregnancy with SB, I was fortunate to have discovered the initial launching of Babypalooza Bazaar held at Ateneo.  I saw that My Baby Dragon, who sells Baby K'tan online, was one of the vendors.  I immediately set my mind to buy a K'tan carrier.


At the bazaar, I met the owner of MBD, Tiffany.  She was so friendly and accommodating that I felt like I'm talking to a long time friend.  I can say that the K'tan was the best purchase I made that day.

Today, SB is 3 months old and suffice to say I am very happy with my K'tan.  SB jerks a lot during his sleep because of the sudden sounds around him.  But whenever he is in the K'tan, he can sleep soundly even in a noisy environment.  I love that it is snug-fitting and eases back tension.  It is also a great way to bond emotionally with my baby.  Babywearing is just like being pregnant still, it's just that the baby is now outside the womb and very visible.  For me, wearing my baby in the K'tan is the best fashion accessory.  =D

There is an ongoing giveaway courtesy of MBD through mommy blogger Bebengisms.  Get a chance to win a k'tan of your choice and experience babywearing at its finest. =D  I hope to win another one size bigger K'tan for my husband to also babywear our BIG SB.  =D
