I fell in love with baby wearing when Little Miss H was six months old and I bought my first wrap. I soon became obsessed but I was sad that I hadn’t known about the benefits of baby wearing earlier.
As my pregnancy with Little Mister H progressed I became more and more excited by the idea of wearing a newborn. I couldn’t wait to have our little bundle of squishiness all wrapped up next to me.
Then a few months before Little Mister H was born I was contacted by the baby wearing experts We Made Me. I was thrilled that they wanted to work with me to promote the amazing benefits of carrying your child in a sling, wrap or carrier. And I was looking forward to trying their fabulous products; the Wuti Wrap, the Pao Carrier and the Soohu Sling.
The idea of family is an integral part of the We Made Me brand. And the idea of a family became more and more important to me as we struggled to have our second child. But then in July this year, Little Mister H arrived on the scene and the family we had yearned for was complete.
So in celebration of our gorgeous family and my partnership with We Made Me, I have decided to share a tongue in cheek interview with Little Mister H. And as you would expect from a child that we made, Little Mister H is full of character and he certainly has a lot to say. (I don’t know where he gets it from!)
We made Little Mister H
A special We Made Me interview with Little Mister H
Hello, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with us today.
You’re welcome but I am afraid that we will need to be quick. I am very busy and important. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. My female servant, henceforth known as The Mummy, says there are only 24 hours in every day. Ridiculous!
My plans for today include napping, eating, burping, weeing and pooing. I also need to mediate between two of my elephant toys who are currently arguing over should occupy the prime location in my cot bed.
Congratulations on your entrance into this world. How was your journey here?
My journey into this world was very quick. Once I had notified the relevant authorities that I was planning to arrive 11 days early I saw no point in delaying the inevitable.
I was fortunate that the traffic was clear and there weren’t any delays. So my journey took less than three hours.
Are you happy here? What are your favourite things about this world?
I am very happy, thank you. Life seems to live up to my high standards.
My home is pleasant. It can be messy when The Mummy is around. But thankfully my male servant, or The Daddy, keeps a much tidier house.
A sweet little girl (The Sister) provides daily entertainment. She sings silly songs and has a unique set of dance moves.
The Mummy and The Daddy can be infuriating and they often reduce me to tears. But they mean well and they are loving and lovable.
The Mummy frequently smothers me with kisses and tells me she loves me. Shockingly this behaviour makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
The Daddy is excellent at giving cuddles. My favourite evening pastime is to sit on his lap and watch as he unsuccessfully manages a football team in the computer game Championship Manager.
What happens during a day in the life of Little Mister H?
I never set an alarm. Instead I wake daily between 04.00 and 06.00.
The Mummy changes my nappy. And provides me with a detailed and humiliating account of the content of my underwear. Once washed and dressed I am given breakfast in bed.
After breakfast, The Mummy places me in my cot so that she is able to administer to the needs of The Sister. It is during this time that I hold important meetings with the numerous soft toys who rent ground space in my bedroom. I will often have a little snooze as well.
The Mummy tries to have us out of the door by 08.30 so that we can take The Sister to pre-school. I am placed in a genius invention called the Wuti Wrap for this journey. This is the ONLY way to travel on the school run.
The rest of the day is filled with tummy time, kicking my legs and arms around, catnaps, feeding and having all my needs met by The Mummy.
I tend to become very restless and ratty towards late afternoon. At this point, The Mummy once again places me in the Wuti Wrap so that I can have a snooze while she looks after The Sister. Once The Sister has been fed, bathed and put to bed I like to wake up and listen to The Daddy tell me about his day.
I then spend the evening with The Mummy and The Daddy until I go to bed between 21.30 and midnight.
What has been your biggest achievement to date?
The Mummy says that my biggest achievement has been learning to smile. She also tells me that I am a very clever boy because I have a very strong neck and I am able to hold my head up.
The Daddy believes my greatest achievement is sleeping through the night. He is also proud of the time that I peed in my mouth.
I believe that my best accomplishment has been my ability to fall asleep every time I am carried in the Wuti Wrap.
What are your plans for the next few months?
I am going on holiday twice during the next few months.
Next month we are going for a long weekend in Dorset and then in November, The Daddy will be driving us to the stunning Bluestone National Park Resort in Pembrokeshire. I am very excited. It will be great to explore more of the UK. And I hope that both trips will be relaxing and I will return home rejuvenated and ready for the run-up to Christmas.
I also plan to graduate from the Wuti Wrap to the Soohu Sling and the Pao Carrier. These forms of baby transport have received rave reviews. And I’m looking forward to trying them out.
There you have it! Our little man is quite the character but he is also completely adorable.
Do you baby wear? Have you heard about the company We Made Me or the wonderful Wuti Wrap?
Hugs
Lucy

October 5, 2016 at 1:03 pmThanks for your comment. I have loved wearing him since he was so little. But it does make me sad that I missed out on those newborn snuggles with Little Miss H. Hugs Lucy

October 1, 2016 at 10:23 pmI must admit i didn’t do babywearing with either of my two and it’s something i really do regret now. Little Mr H looks so comfortable and snuggled in his Wuti Wrap xx

October 5, 2016 at 1:06 pmThanks for your comment. I don’t think that I could manage without baby wearing. I would never get any chores done and dinner time and bed time would be a nightmare. Hugs Lucy xxxx

October 1, 2016 at 7:32 amHa ha I do love this – I often used to look at my two and wonder what on earth they wer thinking about. Especially when they pulled their funny faces to themselves x x

October 5, 2016 at 1:07 pmThanks for your comment. I love pondering what they are thinking about. I am sure it is very disdainful. Hugs Lucy xxxx

September 30, 2016 at 10:05 pmI never did baby wearing and I haven’t heard of the company. I did plan on doing it on my second. It would have been handy in my different ways because she’s so attached and needy but I worked around it
Mrs H
October 5, 2016 at 1:09 pmThanks for your comment. You are a much braver woman than I am. I couldn’t manage with two children if I didn’t have the wrap. It means I can settle him when he is crying even if I need to do some jobs or sort Little Miss H out. Hugs Lucy xxxx

September 30, 2016 at 11:39 amI can’t wait to try baby wearing when our little one arrives in 6 weeks.
Mrs H
September 30, 2016 at 9:14 pmBaby wearing is fabulous. It is the only way to manage with two. But I am sad that I didn’t discover it sooner with my daughter. Hugs Lucy xxxx

September 29, 2016 at 9:29 pmAwww I love this little interview so much. You’ll have such an amazing trip to Bluestone, there is so much to do there even for the littlest of little ones! I love the wrap. I miss babywearing! x
Mrs H
October 5, 2016 at 1:11 pmI am so excited about going to Bluestone. There really is lots to do. I can’t make up my mind. It is going to be lovely. Hugs Lucy xxxx

September 29, 2016 at 9:18 amI wish i had tried baby wearing we did briefly but my son hated being in a carrier I’d definitely try again though if we have more children.
Mrs H
September 29, 2016 at 9:42 amThat is sad. I think the earlier you put them in a wrap etc the better. With Little Miss H, I started baby wearing her when she was 6 months old. But I’ve been wrapping Little Mister H since he was 2 days old. And he loves it! He falls asleep every time I put him in it. Hugs Lucy xxxx
