Today, Chris and I went to a free babywearing workshop/talk organised by NLB as part of a Parenting Talk Series! It was great and we had a lot of fun!
It was good learning of the different types of carrier, the cloth kinds, with a live demo with dummy babies! The wraps and curves and areas to tighten brought me a look of confusion throughout the demo. But it was good learning and knowledge gaining anyway.
They had also shared the optimal position and angle to carry the baby that would be good for development. I'm especially grateful for the hands-on that was available and the two trainers who were there to correct us after our try-out! It sure wasn't easy doing it! And we have narrowed down to the ring sling if we were not using the buckle/soft carrier kind.
This is Chris trying it out! *he forgot to take a photo of my try-out! :(*
Another note about the dummy babies...there's a weight on it!! I felt so surprised and it's really quite heavy! And when I look down, the dummy baby was smiling at me! Freaky! Haha.
All in all, I'm thankful that NLB organized this and I'm glad Chris came along with me! It's all about learning!
I'm looking forward to the day I wear you, baby! Hope you would be comfortable and that you won't fall off! Hehe! Be patient with us too! :)
