When out shopping I can’t help but notice that more and more fathers are beginning to wear their babies. I also can not help but notice the different looks from various people. Men using infant carriers is becoming more and more common and is beginning to be looked as the norm. In the past, it was thought of as the woman’s job to carry the baby, either in her arms, a carrier or pushing a stroller. Roles are beginning to change and men are assuming more of the duties with caring for the children.
Although many woman are eager to praise fathers for using a baby carrier, many men do not want the praise and feel it is part of their duties as a dad. As Clay states in this video, “No, no I don’t want your praise, because I am just an equal co-parent in this whole big adventure we call parenting.”
Baby carrier manufacturers are beginning to make their products to be versatile and easily moveable to be comfortable for a man or woman. If you are looking for a good carrier, try these products:
- Ergo Baby – Offers the versitility to move your baby from front, to hip to back quickly and easily. Carriers are available in a variety of colors.
