Tamara from Changing More Than Diapers... asks: Do Dads wear babies?I know Dads that wear their babies. My hubby still wears Gray and I am required to make sure the mei tai is handy whenever I leave Gray with Daddy. The other night Ashlee & I escaped for about an hour to run some errands and squeeze in a little Starbucks. When I got home, Jeff was wearing a zonked out Gray.
You can see more about my hubby babywearing here, here, & here, too.
TheBabywearer.com has a great article: Babywearing: A Dad's Experience, written by- of course- Dads!
Also, to see one of the sweetest things ever, watch this video of a new Dad wearing his newborn in a stretchy wrap, step by step- so you can see just how to do it! (Thanks to the Magic City Slingers Blog for the heads up on this link!)
Is that not the most precious thing!?
Yay for Babywearing Dads!
Yup...that's the Moby Wrap, and I love mine!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, that IS a very sweet video :)
AWWW how sweet is that - makes me wish I had a guy around to do that with Zachary! :)
ReplyDeleteChris had no use for such things when Aubrey was born :(
Very sweet!
That video was adorable, such pride!
ReplyDeleteI watched the other videos that father had. Adorable! Thanks for sharing that sweetness.
A father's instinct....precious!
ReplyDeleteThat was so precious! :) I loved the video!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, it makes this mama want another tiny one!
ReplyDeleteawww!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think mine was ever that tiny. LOL
My DH likes the MT. He says, "OK strap him to my back." He's confident to put him on with out me, but he likes wearing him while he does stuff around the house.
That is a VERY sweet video!
ReplyDeleteAwww, how SWEET! Guess I'm going to have to make me another one since I gave mine to Kelly! LOL Glad she likes it though!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby wore our daughter for the first time the other day - and I blogged it! : )
ReplyDeleteI love when Papa's wear their babies it's so sexy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the sweet video! I'm not sure mine would wear the baby, but you never know. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband would do it when my daughter was young, it was adorable!
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS the most precious thing!
ReplyDeleteThat was such a sweet video. I loved how he kissed his baby before putting him in the wrap.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I'm still scared the kid is going to fall out though. :)
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting that guy to pick up such a small baby!! How cute! My hubby has only worn theBeast a couple times that I can remember...it's mostly me doing the babywearing. I love that pic of Grey snoozing away!
ReplyDeletePrecious.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute picture of your hubby and Gray!
ReplyDeleteAnd that video is so precious. I loved the little baby noises, and when the daddy picked up the baby and kissed him/her... what a sweet moment!
Jane, P&B Girls
The photo with your hubby is so sweet. And the video is awesome. I have a picture of my hubby wearing Zane...I'll see if I can find it.
ReplyDeleteHey, and congrats to you getting out of the house for a bit! lol
My husband wore our babies (and still does) more than me! My back always hurts.
ReplyDeleteHe wore them in front carriers as infants, and now he loves to put Beatrix in our Kelty backpack when we go out and about. She loves it too.
What a sweet sweet daddy! I think he kinda looks like a jedi with all wrapped up! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that so much!
ReplyDeleteadorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo and video! Jeff wore Emma a few times when she was a baby, before we even knew what it was all about. I know he'll be happy to wear this one -- especially now that we know how fast that cuddly stage can go by!
ReplyDeletesooo sweet! love that video. :)
ReplyDeletemakes me wonder what it's like to have a baby so small. mine were 8 and 9 1/2 lbs respectively.
jody wore ava more than he does julian, but i agree, real men wear babies. :)
meant to add, love the pic of hubby wearing gray too. *sigh* :)
ReplyDeleteSweet picture of Jeff and Gray. Yay for you getting out! :) I loved the video.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, and the video... that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy husband wore the babies too.
I think there is only one thing better to a Dad wearing a baby is a Dad wearing a baby AND vacuuming at the same time :)
Thanks for your kind words Steph, it really mens a lot to me that I know you are my friend!
Love, Katja
dads that wear their baby look so adorable !
ReplyDeleteI posted my pictures of the metra mamma wrap on my blog just now...I cant WAIT to get the Skull one from you!
ReplyDeleteAw, that was adorable! I love to see "cool" dads wearing babies :D I don't think my hubby ever has though.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, ditto on the housework!
ReplyDeleteDh would wear our babies... he liked he black Maya wrap because it wasn't so girly.
Dads and babies are so hot aren't they? :)
That is so sweet!!!! A super good friend of mine made me a carrier like that and I can't wait to try it out!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet! I never did get a Moby Wrap. But now they look easy! I guess I need a new baby, eh?
ReplyDeleteJOKE!
That wrap is COOL.
ReplyDeleteI have photos of my husband wearing The Baby in the delivery room.
As hands on as my husband is, he only wore Cricket a handful of times. Well my husband isn't the smallest of men and he said he didn't like all of his OWN weight he had to lug around.
ReplyDeleteI remember that photo of your husband vacuuming with the MT - I don't think there is a sexier sight!
My hubby loves it when I leave my ergo available for him to wear. I got it with him in mind. He said he would wear our little ones if he didn't feel to sissyfied. Now, since Gret doesn't like to be without mommy (uugh) he will wear her around to comfort her while I am gone. It's proven to be a real life saver for us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, wonderfully sweet video. Not much sexier than a daddy with their children.
ReplyDeleteThey look so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...so PRECIOUS!!!! I fell in love with my hubby partly because of how wonderful he is with children. A man and a baby...not much better!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings-Andie
