Babywearing Christmas – ’tis the Season to be Wrapping

A Babywearing Christmas just makes sense – how else are you going to be able to do all the fun things that make the holidays so great? How else is baby going to get to be involved in so many fun things? If you want to go all out of Christmas traditions or holiday traditions, a babywearing christmas is your answer!

Meeting Santa: If your baby or toddler is intimidated by Santa this year, maybe you’ll consider introducing Santa to your little one from the safety of the wrap.  The wrap will assure your baby that the whiskered man can’t get him, and Santa, being a gentleman, will probably be quite willing to stand and speak with the two of you.

Christmas Shopping: Shopping is a breeze with baby in a wrap.  Keeping baby close eliminates the frustration of keeping track of the little bugger (or keeping him from destroying the wares), and also keeps babies more content for longer–meaning fewer meltdowns from too much shopping.  If you’re lucky, the sound of your heart and the rocking of your steps will lull him to sleep in time to sneak a few presents from him into your basket.

Christmas Cookies and other Christmas Crafts: If your baby has older siblings, you may find yourself making Christmas cookies.  The easiest way to do this with a little baby is to keep them wrapped up and out of trouble!  This also makes more of your attention available for big brother and sister.

Picking out a Christmas Tree:  I can’t tell you how much easier it is to pick out a Christmas tree with baby wrapped up!

Decorating the Christmas Tree: Perfect for decorating the tree, too–keep baby out of the breakables and away from the Christmas lights (why is it so hard to find lights that don’t contain lead?!) but still in the middle of all the action.

Play in the Snow: Wrapped up may be the only way you’re going to get out in the snow for a walk to enjoy the crystal encrusted beauty; to play with kids; or get around your neighborhood!

And if you want to spend much time outside with your baby, here’s everything you need to know to survive winter babywearing!
