From my previous travels to Ghana and Gambia, where I observed mothers wrapping colorful fabrics around their bodies to carry their babies. I was truly inspired by this traditional practice and decided to try it myself. Let me tell you, carrying my baby on my back has been a game-changer! Not only do I have my hands free to take care of household chores, but it also feels so natural and secure to keep my little one close to me. I cannot emphasize enough the incredible benefits of this age-old technique that has been passed down from generation to generation.
When my baby gets fussy, being able to soothe her while still being able to tackle household chores is a lifesaver. It’s a win-win situation for both of us. And let’s be real, who doesn’t appreciate a little extra help around the house?
Carrying my baby on my back also makes breastfeeding more convenient. I can easily nurse her while on the go or while taking care of other tasks. It allows me to multitask and be efficient with my time, which is a valuable skill for a busy mom.
But perhaps the most important reason why I love carrying my baby on my back is the bonding it encourages. My baby is very attentive and loves watching me as I go about my day. I believe that by seeing me do positive things, she is learning valuable skills that she will carry with her as she grows. It’s a beautiful way to foster a strong connection between us and create lasting memories together.
So, whether I’m cleaning the house, cooking dinner, or simply going for a walk, you can bet that my baby will be right there on my back, enjoying the ride and soaking in all the love and warmth that comes with being close to her mama.
