One thing you can feel good about.

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Once you enter the wonderful realm of parenthood there is as much to feel guilty about as there is to feel good about and vice versa.  This is especially true when you get a chance to look back on the early months and years.  Young children want to be held alot and in general parents want to hold them but then how do you even make a sandwich for yourself!  Holding your child is a natural desire and some babies demand it more from their parents than others but there’s an easy solution.  Learn how to wear your child in an infant sling.  Many women make it look easy.  You may see them on the street or in the library wearing their child effortlessly (many young babies love to sleep in the sling or a woman can discreetly nurse her child in the sling).  It becomes even more helpful when you have a toddler or preschooler to chase after at the same time.  All in all you really can make many moments special by wearing your child this way.  Keeping him or her close, feeling the rhythm of each others’ breaths and heart beats.  It may take some practice and getting used to but it’s one thing you can feel good about.
