Hi everyone,
I have a 7-month-old baby and I am currently working from home due to the pandemic. While taking care of my baby, I also have to manage household tasks like cooking and cleaning. I am considering using a carrier to keep my baby close and attend to him while doing these tasks, but I am concerned about safety. Are there any guidelines or tips for babywearing while cooking, cleaning or doing other household tasks? I want to make sure that my baby stays safe while I am multitasking.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello all,
I have been babywearing my 4-month-old daughter while doing household tasks for a while now. However, I found it helpful to get my partner involved and take turns wearing the baby while doing chores. This allows for more evenly distributed body load and helps lessen the strain on both of us.
When cooking, I often wear my baby while sitting or standing in one spot to avoid sudden movements or accidents in the kitchen. Additionally, I opt for a carrier that provides ample head and neck support to prevent any accidental head jerking movements.
For cleaning, I try to limit my use of cleaning products as much as possible, and I make sure that my baby is not exposed to any harsh chemicals or fumes. It's crucial to read ingredient labels and make sure to use safe cleaning products that do not contain any harmful toxins.
Lastly, when doing household tasks, make sure that you are aware of your surroundings at all times. Always be mindful of any potential hazards, like sharp objects or slippery floors, and be extra cautious when moving around.
In conclusion, babywearing can be an excellent tool for multitasking, but it's also essential to handle with care and use common sense while doing everyday household tasks. Communicating with your partner, avoiding harsh chemicals, and staying aware of your surroundings can all help make babywearing a safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your baby.
