The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Baby Carrier for Your Little One in Kenya

Welcoming a new addition to the family is a joyous occasion, and as parents, we want nothing but the best for our little ones. In Kenya, as in many other parts of the world, one of the essential items for new parents is a baby carrier. Choosing the right baby carrier can enhance the bond between parent and child, provide comfort and convenience, and allow you to navigate daily life with ease. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the world of baby carriers in Kenya, helping you make an informed decision about which one is the perfect fit for your little bundle of joy.

Understanding the Types of Baby Carriers :

Before diving into the specifics, let's explore the different types of baby carriers available. In Kenya, you can find a variety of options, including wraps, slings, soft-structured carriers, and meh dais. Each type has its unique features and benefits. Understanding the differences between them will help you make an informed choice.

Wraps: These are long pieces of fabric that you tie around your body in various ways. Wraps are versatile and suitable for newborns to toddlers.

Slings: Slings are one-shouldered carriers that are simple to use and ideal for quick trips. 

Soft-Structured Carriers: These carriers have padded straps and buckles, providing support and comfort for both the baby and the wearer. They're suitable for all ages.

Meh Dais: Meh Dais is a hybrid of wraps and soft-structured carriers. They have a square body with straps for tying around you. They offer flexibility and support.

Consider Your Baby's Age and Size :

The age and size of your baby play a crucial role in selecting the right carrier. Newborns have different needs compared to older infants and toddlers. We'll guide you on which carriers work best for different stages of your little one's growth, ensuring both comfort and safety.

Assessing Comfort and Safety :

Comfort and safety are paramount for both you and your baby. Learn how to check for proper positioning and safety features in a carrier. We'll provide tips on ensuring that your baby is snugly secured and that you can wear the carrier comfortably for extended periods.

Proper Positioning: Ensure that your baby's hips are in a spread-squat position, with their knees higher than their bottom.

Head Support: For newborns, choose carriers with head support or hoods.

Weight Distribution: Opt for carriers with wide, padded shoulder straps and waistbands to distribute the weight evenly.

Safety Features: Check for safety buckles and straps that secure your baby in place.

Climate Considerations :

Kenya's climate can vary from region to region, and considering this when choosing a baby carrier is essential. We'll discuss breathable fabrics and carrier styles suitable for the warm coastal areas, as well as options that provide extra warmth in the cooler highland regions.

Cultural and Traditional Baby Carriers :

Kenya's diverse culture brings forth a range of traditional baby carriers, each with its unique significance. We'll explore some of these carriers and how they are integrated into modern parenting practices. Discover how you can blend traditional and contemporary choices.

Like the majority of society I’m obsessed with Nimona

And I rewatched it a million times and one thing always sticks out to me 

There are moments when Ambrosius is surrounded by light like a little protective bubble 

That keeps him away from the man he loves more than anything

Today I was blessed with your presence while I cooked dinner.

You sat up on my chest, wrapped firmly to body, eyes intently watching my every move.

Not once did you cry, just happily sucking on your binky, cooking with me.

I was shocked when you didn’t immediately fall asleep, but not surprised when you stared in awe at my hands.

For the entire time I cooked and chopped and boiled, you watched mesmerized as most newborns look.

By the time I started cleaning up, I could feel your head slowly drop to my chest,

And then back up again!

Only to fall back down.

Sleep was wrestling with you. I couldn’t help chuckling at our likeminded stubbornness. But eventually,

Sleep won.

And for a moment, I swayed in silence with a half clean kitchen, being present in this moment.

As I felt your breaths deepen and your body finally go limp against my chest, I thought how dreadful this is.

Because we couldn’t stay like this for eternity. Wearing you, as if you were in my womb once more, only means there will come a day when I can no longer wear you.

And that is the day I dread the most. But for now, I’ll sway with you just like this- chest to chest- locked in our own small eternity of a moment.

thinking about older bf!simon who feels younger for loving you

you who has to be holding his hand, other hand around his upper arm, pulling him down to kiss his cheek

you who wraps your arms around his waist, putting your hands in his pockets and rubbing your cheek against his back

you who still gets giggly when he walks around naked, a heat on your cheeks that he can feel across the room

you who lays back on the bed and beckons him over with a single digit, squealing when he tugs you to him by your ankle

you who can make a sniper’s hands shake by asking him to do up the zipper on your back or just placing your feet in his lap

you who can make him hard with only a pretty smile or even just a “siiiiiimon” like he’s hitting puberty for the first time

you who makes him pull over so you can ride him in the front seat of his car, only after you’ve been teasing him all fucking dinner

you who, in a room full of people, can give him a look that only he knows to mean “take me home right now and i’ll do that thing you like”

you who teaches the old dog new tricks, making him realise that there really are “things he likes” that he hadn’t even known about

simon doesn’t just feel younger, he feels fucking born again
