♥ of wearing yor baby : SnuggBaby ♥

I was once so naive. I thought wearing my baby is not REALLY important. 

First time I bought it, i bought the cheapest i could get. RM49.90. The reason: the perception of 'it is not important'. Yes, memang sakit-sakit badan lah kalau bawak Delisha lama-lama dalam carrier ni. But, disebabkan rasa macam 'takkan nak beli yang lain kot?' so macam redha jelah. 

Time nih Delisha baru 7 bulan

It's a totally wrong way to carry your baby. Fantastically, I was smiling, not knowing that I am a bad mother. Wish I could turn back time. See, when using this type of carrier, kaki baby macam tergantung. This is TOTALLY WRONG way to wear your baby. Poor Delisha. 

First time I tried using Mei Tai, was during the training of Malaysian Breastfeeding Peer Councelor. Kak Zatul Hijanah, one of the course moderator let me try her MT. Yes, it's comfortable, takdelah lenguh tangan dukung Delisha. Time tu Delisha 6 bulan. Tapi payah sikit nak dok lilit-lilit.


But sampai ke sudah, I didn't bought any new carrier. Pakai jugak carrier Little Hill ni. Siap snap gambar lagi..

Tengok gambar kat atas tu.. time nih nak gi kenduri. I used that red baby carrier. Again. Hehe. The reason: got no choice. Tapi guna carrier ni lebih kepada nak support tangan and bahu bila dukung baby.. tak berani nak lepaskan tangan sebab badan Amirul lembik lagi. Baru 2 bulan dah bawak gi kenduri. :D

And then, I tengok ramai kawan-kawan start ber'baby-wrap'. Rasa macam nak try. Instead of buying kain beberapa ela yang beratus harganye itu, I try DIY my own wrap. And taraaaa..

Time gi kenduri kawen jugak nih. Baby sangat selesa tidur je dalam wrap. Nilah die rupe orang dalam pantang sibuk nak gi kenduri sane-sini. Hehe. Time type entry nih baru I perasan yang I dah turn berkilo-kilo dalam mase yang sangat singkat! *wink wink*


Best jugak pakai wrap tapi payah sikit nak lilit-lilit. Huhu.


Bila dah ada Amirul, I found it's hard for me to carry two babies. Sekarang, Delisha memang my husband, Joe yang pegang. Amirul pulak jadik mummy's lil boy. Heheh. Entah macammane kesedaran tu datang. Bermula dari blog Athidean, one of my blogger friend. She used merak buckle-tie from Neezaneedle. Time I did some survey on SSC (soft-structured carrier) but then I telan liur by the price. Hahaha. A bit cheapskate on this stuff. Delisha dah makin berat, asyik nak berdukung. Husband ade gak sebut-sebut sakit badan kalau gi jalan-jalan lame-lame. Stroller pun biasenye guna untuk letak Amirul. Which is soOo hard to convince Delisha to let Amirul dok dalam tu.. She claimed that was hers.   


Tak oyehhhhhh, katenye.  :D


Sampai satu tahap, I just couldn't stand it enimore. I would definitely go for something comfy.  And make sure my babies are comfortable too. Dan husband juga. Hehe. Of courselah kannn.. Kalau cik abang tak happy, sape nak bawak kitorang jenjalan?? :P

Initially, I browse thru Neezaneedle but she closed the slot for custome-made order temporarily. I thought nak guna SSC time nak balik Terengganu. I need something readily available. So I bought Stork from Snuggbaby. I tried using this Stork with Delisha. See, she's so happy dok terkinja-kinja dalam Stork. Mama nak snap gambar pun susah.

Stork lion cubs RM339 + postage RM8

By the way, dari kecik I ajar and bahasakan diri I as MUMMY. Tapi lidah Delisha dok sebut MAMA jugak. Hehe. Mama ke mummy ke she knows that refer to me. :)

Kebetulan, there was a small gathering with Rita Rahayu, our lactation consultant with southern peer councelors of MBFPC. She was wearing her 5-month baby Aariz in Pognae. It's manufactured in Korea and the word means warmth, comfort and security. Kat Malaysia ni I tak tau ada jual ke tak lagi brand ni.

She showed me the right way how to snugg my baby in that stork. Hehe. I main pakai je.. Orang yang dah pro berbabywearing ni sekilas ikan di air dah boleh nampak

"You macam tak selesa je. Meh I show you the right way..bla..bla.."

Kak Rita said she had a library full of babywearing gadget and gears. About 30 and plus all sorts of baby carriers, from wrap to SSC. It's a wow to me.

With her book, Hebatnya Susu Ibu  :D

Bersama bapa yang hebat and cool. Kebiasaannya, perjumpaan dan aktiviti PC dilakukan pada hujung minggu.. Of coursela each and everyone of us bawak anak-anak masing-masing. Don't be surprise, my husband pun ada sijil attendance to Support Group Meeting for Breastfeeding Mummies. Haha.

I felt comfortable with stork, so I thought of buying another one for husband. Senang, tak payah adjust the straps. Hehe. I punye saiz ngan husband punye saiz adelah agak banyak perbezaannya.  Actually, ingat nak try Jumpsac sebab design lagi banyak dan cantik-cantik kat butik Fabulous Mom. But I don't really like the material. Ada diskaun 10%, bought the second Stork RM305. Terbang sudah duit mummy bulan ni.


From my experience, perjalanan dari Johor Bahru-KL-Terengganu-KL-Johor Bahru adalah sangat memenatkan! Lebih-lebih lagi menyusukan both babies. Long driving hours. :( Nasib baik ada carrier yang selesa dan mudah dipakai. Setiap kali pit-stop kat R&R, husband and I pakai stork. Nak beli makanan, nak makan, nak gi toilet, nak jalan sana-sini.. sangat mudah dan selesa! :)

 'Pengsan' lepas menyusu dengan dahsyatnye

  Back carry Delisha

Sight-seeing at Masjid Kristal. Kalau tak kerana dah selamat dimasukkan ke dalam carrier, Delisha dah 'selamat' masuk dalam laut kottt.. Punyelah eksaited tengok air,  Delisha meluru je berlari ke tepi kayu-kayu tu. Fuh, nak luruh jantungku.

Muke tak puas hati sebab daddy tak bagi "tuyunnnnn"

Amirul memang tido jelah all the time, especially in this Stork. Selesa agaknye. Nak breastfeed pun senang. Orang pun tak perasan.


All of all, I think I start falling in love with babywearing. It's easier than enithing else. Well.. I don't prefer using stroller. Hehe. Nope, actually. Stroller yang I nak tu harganya berganda-gandaaaaaa.


By the way, this made me smile.

We have a babywearign community at Selat Tebrau Babywearer. An active group, especially for Johorean. And one more group Malaysian Babywearers. Jom join kat FB! :)


Till then, that's my sharing for today.
