❤️ babywearing. Why do you babywear?
My husband drew to my attention that Dads I am talking to about carriers probably get enough of Mums telling them what to do at home, so if I wanted to encourage them to use them, maybe I needed to use Dad words....
So here are his words and photo along with other awesome words and photos of Dads using slings, wraps and carriers with their kids. This started small, rapidly grew into a Facebook album of 100 reasons, then an group where you can keep up to date with project developments and share the love of Dads Babywearing (https://www.facebook.com/groups/whydadsbabywear/) and a real life physical book!
The printed book is a celebration of fatherhood, of Dads being my hands on and involved with their children's lives and involving them in theirs. It's made up of some of your favourites here and others unseen online, you can find it here - http://www.babywearingwithjess.com/product/why-dads-babywear/
If you have a babywearing Dad in your house who would be keen to share any other "Dad words" and/or photos of why they wear your kids, email them to us at whydadsbabywear@gmail.com (including Dad's name, child/children's names and approx age in the picture) so we can make you into a poster to share the message with other Dads and others over on our Instagram account www.instagram.com/whydadsbabywear ...
