There are some wonderful blogs maintained by mothers of newborns and young children. I'd love to ask them where the heck did they find time to post frequently?!
Baby Titus is a real darling and I love him deeply, but it has been a little tough - physically - to care for him. You see, he craves human contact so much that he refuses to be put down in his cot (or any surface for that matter) in the day, so much so daddy and I have to take turns carrying him all day. And it isn't just carrying will do for him. He demands that his caregiver walks around. No cheating allowed; he knows when we are seated! :)
As such, the Manduca baby carrier has become one of the best buys I've made so far. The other being the Medela Swing breast pump, for its awesome draining power in a short period of time.
Thanks to the Manduca baby carrier, we have been able to keep our hands free and take baby's weight off our arms. While Titus still insists on us standing and/or walking while he's in the baby carrier, at least we are able to do some light chores such as washing the dishes, doing the laundry and mopping the floor.
And when I'm alone at home with him, the Manduca baby carrier allows me to go pee whenever the call of nature arises! :) Pre-Manduca days, I had to hold it all in and wait for the husband to come home after work so I could pass Titus on to him. It was crazy.
The Manduca has also give baby and me some glorious moments in the park. I've taken him for strolls in the park, with him in the carrier. And because it is so comfortable, Titus would almost always fall asleep half-way through our little outing.
I shouldn't complain, really. He's only going to be a baby for a while. Before I know it, he will start to crawl and wouldn't want to be in my arms all day.
Alright, gotta get back to baby! Till next time.
