How far are you in your parenting journey?
Less than 3 months!
Tell us a little about your story. Give us a self intro about you and your family!
My name is Rachel! I’m a first time mum to my absolute gorgeous little boy Daniel. I’m 24, I’ve been married to my husband for 3 years now and I feel like we’re absolutely nailing parenthood!
Tell us about your parenting journey. What are some challenges you've faced? What was something you wish you knew ahead of time?
I wish I prepared for different scenarios that could happen in labor! I was in 48 hours of labor with minimal progression and dropping heart rates for both me and my baby, which ultimately lead to an emergency C-section! (Scary) It’s been a long road to recovery but with having hubby there for three weeks at home with us it gave me a good chance to recover and focus on baby! I still have one and a half weeks left until I get a 6 week sign off and I can’t wait to get back out and do stuff!
What is your experience with babywearing? Have you used our Konny Baby Carrier during your newborn to toddler phase? How was it?
I’ve used the Konny Baby Carrier around the home and it’s a life saver, especially when baby wants to be close to my body. I’ve only just started wearing it in the last week but it’s definitely a game changer and I can’t wait to get more wear out of it!
What benefits have you experienced from baby wearing?
The contact and connection with my baby, they’re way more relaxed and calm whenever they’re in the carrier!
