Baby wearing has been around for centuries, and of course there are numerous baby carries available on the market today, CQ Premmies is delighted to have Hug a Bub on board as a supporter.

Hug a Bub specialize in wraps and slings to wear your baby in,  and more importantly smaller babies (as in our little prems) can be worn in these wraps!!

Why?

For me personally we started baby wearing after my 3rd baby was born, i needed to hold him for long periods during the day to settle him (reflux!) and still be able to run around after my 3 and 1 yr old, not to mention general household chores had to be done too!

So we set out on a mission, to find a way to hold him and still be hands free. We tried a sling, and he hated it, we thought he was bad before, well he was even worse in it!, so i managed to get my hands on a good old baby borjn – it was ok, hes was still a little on the small side so he would flop around a bit, but other than that he was happy – I wasn’t!  It caused me some shocking back pain, so once again a went googling and questioning, i then found Hug a Bub, and to this day we still use it (new kid in the wrap now days, but still heavily used!), the babies loved it and mummy loved it – what more could we ask for!

so back to why, Hug a Bubs website has a really good list of the benefits of baby wearing, things such as helping with breastmilk supply, bonding, helps with reflux are just a few.   Why a Hug a Bub – well Hug a Bub provides head support for your baby, offers great back support for yourself, allows you to breast feed discreetly, you can wear baby in many different positions (ideal as baby grows!) these are just a few of the benefits of wearing your baby in a Hug a Bub wrap!

Baby wearing has been given the big thumbs up by me and my family, and I love being able to have that extra closeness to my little ones no matter where we are! (not to mention protect them from dozens of germy little hands at places like playgroup!! )
