SUCCESS: International Babywearing Week IBWKL2015

We had successfully organised an IBWKL2015 at Citta Mall, Ara Damansara on the 24th October 2015. It was a happening event! Full of funs! A lot of activities! 

Here's the details program for your viewing as it was already done :)

I was appointed as an emcee for the afternoon session after the original emcee got sick an MC for the day (irony eh!) Being an emcee for this public event & out in an open area was truly a new experience for me! I was used to organised a corporate event with a lot of protocol and formal flow! But this was new and gave me something to test my public speaking skill! And nope! I was quite frustrated with myself *sigh*

Also, we had a celebrities sharing session where 3 know celebs joined us for this event! They were very sporting & of course very comfortable on stage :)

Pavo Fable Lilac by PavoTextiles

One of my favourite wrap! Yup! You heard me right...One of my many wraps actually :)

What can I say about Pavo? I just love it so much! First is the color! The right purple for me..Secondly, the design is just stunning!

You can see the stock photo HERE (I'm drooling just by looking at the color!)

It's a 100% cotton which is my preferences ;) Ok, not enough drool? Let see another photo!

Do you want more? What can I say, this Pavo is really soft & cushy! This is my first Pavo & I was eyeying for another! Penumbraaaa..wait for me pleaaseeee

Babywearing - My First Small Steps

What is Babywearing? Have any of you heard about it before? I was stumbling into this Babywearing (always refer to BW) world when I was still in confinement leave. I still remembered I saw one of my facebook friend using a ring sling (known as RS) to carry her baby.

So I did some googling and (to be exact, some shopping) for a baby carrier and I was directed to one website selling BOBA wrap (it's a brand though). At that time, I didn't do a research about Boba, just bought it! I bought in in impulse! It was actually a stretchy wrap (using a stretch fabric) which I didn't know at the point of buying. But I tried to wear it..youtube how to wear it..

At first, I was very frustrated as I couldn't wear just like youtube showed me! everythings went wrong. The fabric is a 4.2 meter long and very difficult to handle and you expect me to put my son in it? Duuuhhh (that was my first thought!)

See how sloppy my first wrapping job? 

At this time, I didn't know there is a rule one should follow for a safe BW. I was so naive. Lack of BW knowledge. I didn't know the Do's and Don't. 

So I tried to googling about BW again, and found one blog that provides a link to facebook group named MALAYSIAN BABYWEARERS (they are known as MBW) CLICK HERE for their link. This is where I learn what I shoudl know about BW. The TICKS rules (I will explain in details in another post), the ergonomic vs unergonomic carriers (another post) and alots more!
