A Baby Sling: Oh, What a Thing!
A New Baby
Means New Challenges
A
new baby brings many changes into a household.They have long been referred to as "little bundles of joy" and
they certainly bring more joy to life than can be put into words. But, they also bring more work than you could
imagine and it can seem quite disproportionate to their size!After mom takes a few weeks to recover
physically from childbirth and to enjoy coddling and getting to know her new
little sweetheart the time comes when she has to get back to doing all the
things she had to do before the baby was born.This can be a challenge especially if baby needs to be held a lot or if
mom is choosing "attachment parenting".
And Then
There's the Guilt
In
the past mom was forced to either let all the housework go and hold the baby or
let the baby cry and clean the house.Either way, mom ends up feeling exhausted and guilty.It almost seems as finding balance between
these important aspects of life is out of the question.Of course the baby is more important than
the dusting and vacuuming, but the rest of the family needs to eat once in a
while and it might be nice to at least be able to see the floor!
A
Baby Sling Brings Freedom
The
solution to this dilemma is a baby sling.A baby sling allows baby to be held close to mom's body while mom is
free to do other things from walking to running errands to cleaning house and
cooking meals.The baby sling puts an
end to the guilt and gives mom the best of both worlds.Mom can even nurse the baby while she stirs
the soup and then sits down to read a good book!
Finding Your
Own Style
There
are several different styles and a vast multitude of fabrics in slings to
choose from.You want to find the one
that works best for you.The sling
should be comfortable for both mom and baby, make both feel secure (you won't
accomplish much if you feel like baby is going to fall out) and of course it
should be machine washable (you never know what's going to get on it!)
Wrapping it
Up
Having
a new baby is a wonderful and amazing thing.Being able to give 100% to your baby and still take care of yourself and
the rest of the family is an amazing and liberating feeling.A baby sling makes doing all you need to do
as a new mom just a little bit easier.
