tips for cooking and babywearing
- If you are going to be doing any sort of cutting you will want the baby in the side/hip or back carry positions.
- The front carry position works best when doing simple, everyday things in the kitchen like making sandwiches for lunch, mixing a batch of cookies, making smoothies, etc.
- Use caution when cooking on the stove top, as grabby hands and heat don’t mix. Consider putting baby down or switching with another caregiver (if available) if you are working over a hot stove frying or sautéing. It's safest to keep all limbs and hands out of reach of anything that could burn.
- If you need to bend down, don't bend over at the waist when baby is in the baby carrier. Squat down instead, bending your knees. (It's better for your back, too!)
