When Devyn was about four days old, my parents and my sister and I went to a cool baby store here in Denver called Eco-Politan so Emily could buy some specialty cloth diapers and accessories. While we were there, the owner let me try on the Baby Nest—with my baby in it—and I was completely sold. My mom bought it for us and I have worn it at least part of the day nearly every day since.
I had been in the market for a Moby wrap, but the Baby Nest seemed easier because you don't have to tie it; it's just two loops of stretchy fabric that you can wear in different ways to carry your baby (up to 35 pounds!). It's totally easy, I can put it on and off by myself, and Devyn LOVES it.
Turns out, you can do a lot while wearing a baby (who doesn't otherwise want to sleep during the day unless she's being held). You can:
- blog
- eat a meal
- read the Sunday paper while standing up and bouncing
- take a walk
- do laundry
- go to the bathroom (hey, I'm just keeping it real)
- pick up clutter
- file papers and pay bills
- put your feet up and watch Doctor Who
- put on makeup and brush your teeth
- water plants
- putting a fitted sheet on the bed
- picking up anything off the floor
- reaching anything high above your head
