You used to want to be with your honey at all times… then baby came along… and now all you need is some time to yourself.
Believe it or not; the more you carry your baby, the sooner it will become independent and have less separation issues.

You can’t possibly carry a baby all day though: you need to do laundry, walk the dog, watch TV, exercise, and do a thousand more things you do every day. Through most of these acts you can actually keep your baby quiet, and close, using a baby sling.

Infants who are carried around everywhere in a baby sling either on the hip, on the stomach or on their mother’s back develop better than those who spend most of the day in a baby cot or crib. Their motor development, cognitive and emotional development progress faster when the baby has increased physical contact with their mother. The fact that they see more of their world when being carried around certainly helps with this as well. The increased stimulus for the baby’s eyes helps brain development, and mom’s movements stimulate skin receptors and organ movement of the baby.

Aside from this, the baby feels safe and you can be the ultimate multi-tasking yummy mummy (or daddy!) by boding with the baby, and doing the dishes at the same time.

I am a self-professed geek, and when I came across this toy, I wished for a baby to go with it for me to mold into the perfect geek.

The Catch: you have to knit this toy yourself! Here is the free pattern

The cuteness factor on this baby/toddler toy is pretty high, and it doesn’t seem too complex to make! Stay in for a few cold winter evenings, share some conversation and wine with your significant other, and knit this baby toy while spending some quality time together. Doesn’t sound like a bad way to spend a cold night!
