How is it to wear a hug?
Posted by SOUL BABY CARRIERS


While it is an age-old tradition , it has gained a lot of popularity in the last 10 years. Keep reading to know my first encounter with babywearing to how it has become a constant in my life!

father putting out clothes to dry or either of us attending to work calls , we never had to say no to the little one! He used to hop on and get seated comfortably in his carrier while we could attend to our chores – what a win-win! Oh , both pre & post pandemic whenever I had to travel alone with my boy, having a carrier has been a blessing in disguise – we have sailed through endless check in queues and delayed baggage arrivals seamlessly without any tantrums simply because he was all cozy & comfortable in his carrier , could nap whenever he wanted to and be as close to mumma as possible! Its literally like wearing a hug ...
When we found out that we were expecting baby no 2 , one of the earliest decisions made was to start babywearing as early as possible. I’m glad I did just that! My little girl is extremely fond of contact naps and isn’t a fan of spending time on the bed or the floor on her own - what better way to deal with this than to use a carrier? Babywearing her has also helped me spend as
much time as possible with the first born – be it lending a hand to him while he colors or reading a book to him while also putting her to sleep , everything has become easier with my Soul carrier!

The snuggly feeling while being seated in a carrier helps in reducing colic in newborns , creates a safe space for the child and the parent , enables them to see the world around while also being in the protective arms of the parents , helps us to be on the go without any assistance to manage the baby , absence of back pain and keeps the baby in a calm and composed state. Aren’t these enough reasons to invest in an ergonomic and well-made carrier like Soul? Try it to believe it!

Not just the carrier , every product at Soul is thoughtfully curated and this comes from personal experience. My second favorite is the ‘Soul toes’ – oh boy! They should totally start making this in adult sizes! Soft like a cloud , fits like a charm , doesn’t suffocate the child’s feet despite using them for long– it definitely is my dream footwear! It was S’s first pair of footwear once he outgrew the ‘push away the socks phase’ and was a constant until he was 1.5 years old. He’s already chosen the colors of Soul toes to buy for his baby sister – we are good to go! The next on my wish list is their backpack for his LKg next year !
If you have reached until here , its now time to head to their website and try the products to see why I’m absolutely in love with Soul!
Happy parenting!
