How far are you in your parenting journey?
Over 1 year!
Tell us a little about your story. Give us a self intro about you and your family!
I’m a second time mom to a beautiful 5 month girl while my oldest is a 3.5 yr old boy. I don’t know what I would be doing without Konny. I’m also a full time stay at home mom.
Tell us about your parenting journey. What are some challenges you've faced? What was something you wish you knew ahead of time?
My first really put my husband and I through the wringer. Best advice we ever received is it will be hard but it will be rewarding. Gotta learn to be at the lowest to learn to be the best for your kid. I never knew the benefits of baby wearing. But I did it all the time with my first since I had really bad PPD/PPA and it’s what got me through those tough months. And now I swear by baby wearing and love doing it.
What is your experience with babywearing? Have you used our Konny Baby Carrier during your newborn to toddler phase? How was it?
I absolutely love it! When we were putting together our registry we first registered for an Ergobaby carrier but come to find that after my first was born it didn’t fit me the way it should with baby. I was too petite and then went on the hungry for a carrier that worked for me. I had a Baby K’tan but it was not comfortable at all. Then I found Konny and have never looked back. I still use it to this day with my 3.5 toddler and with my 5 month old. It’s my number one baby product I recommend to all my friends and family.
What benefits have you experienced from baby wearing?
The easiness of putting on the Konny and putting baby in! Love how quick I can settle my upset babies in a flash. I have also gotten compliments in public about how fast I can whip it on and settle babe.
