A few days ago we commented that the use of the baby's cart should be necessary, without abuse, since the experience of carrying the baby is beneficial and highly recommended for both the newborn and the parents.
Kikuyu is a scarf with allows us to take the baby "in tow". Thus, he feels safe and potent by being in contact with mom or dad, and parents can do everyday activities with comfort and feel their child close.
Kikuyu's concept stems from the African tribes in which mothers carry their babies in special cloths of colorful fabrics woven by themselves while they are pregnant. In this way they protect their baby, they always have them close and they have free hands to be able to perform daily tasks.
The idea of bringing this custom into our reality has led a mother of two children to create Kikuyu. It is made of one hundred percent cotton fabric so that it has some elasticity and dyed with natural dyes to protect the baby's delicate skin.
They seemed beautiful to me. The delicacy of the fabrics, the softness of the colors and of course, I love the concept of carrying the baby in tow. I practice it and encourage you to practice it.
You may find the knotting impractical at first, but as soon as you take his hand, you will find it very comfortable. When you buy Kikuyu, you will find a DVD with the explanation of how to use and teach the knotting techniques to use it in different ways.
