Certainly, if you ask, you will be happy to do it. It may be that there are many dads who are good at changing diapers or taking a bath.
But from a mom's point of view,"I want to clear the dirty diapers." "If you take a bath, I want you to wipe your body, change clothes, and end up with a toothbrush!"It seems that there are things that I want to do more.

Nearly half of my dad was not good at "sleeping".

What kind of hug should I choose?

Even if you choose a hug string, it is a very difficult task to find and select "which is better" or "whether you can use it as a mom" from many types.
I would like to easily explain what kind of hug to choose to use for Daddy.

Unisex hug

Considering economic things, a hug that can be used as a dad and mom is the best. If there is not much difference in daddy mom, you can share one hug.
Even if there is a physique differenceA hug string that is easy to adjust the sizeThen you can use it without feeling too much stress.

There are many things that can be used for a long time, it is economical, and the size can be adjusted, so it is a hug with many people to choose.

A hug dedicated dedicated

If the physique difference between Daddy Mama is large, it may be better to prepare a hug dedicated dedicated. If you are different in height, your shoulders are different, so if you use the same thing, you may feel uncomfortable for your baby.
By creating a "daddy only", your dad's motivation will increase, and you can enjoy childcare more.

RecommendedSling type
There are many simple designs, and even dads who are not good at wearing buckles can be used without resistance. Although the size is divided by body type, it is relatively inexpensive compared to the waist belt type or hip seat carrier, so it is good to prepare it for daddy.

In such a case, a hug dedicated dedicated is recommended.

If the size does not fit each other

If either dad or mom does not fit, it will gradually stop using it. When trying on a hug string, try it on, rent and try it at home, and it is safe to check each other's fit.

If you need to change the size many times

If you need a lot of adjustments, such as straps and belts, you will feel troublesome before wearing a hug.
If you are not used to hugging yet, you may want to use a hug as soon as your baby begins to cry. If it takes a long time to install it when you compete, there is no source or child.
If you have a lot of adjustments when you take a hug, it is smoother to prepare a hug.

If design and color hobbies do not match

Even if it is functionally satisfactory, design and color hobbies may not match. It is important to approach, but it is also recommended to incorporate your favorite colors to enjoy your daily hug life.

Baby & Me also rent a hug.
If you want to try it slowly with your family, please consider it.
