Babywearing And Movement

A few weeks ago I was asked to review Chick-n-chickens for International Babywearing Week.  I was intrigued by the idea of babywearing and being able to exercise at the same time, so I happily agreed.  I didn't gain any more weight this pregnancy than the other two, but I must admit that I started this pregnancy a little heavier than I would have liked too, so I am very motivated to get some of this baby weight off and SOON!

 I received the DVD/CD set and watched it once to get an idea of what this was all about.  I liked the music and really liked the sling that the women used.  I especially liked the exercise moves that these women did- you could tell that they were working out and that it would tone up a new momma.

Once the older boys got in bed, I turned the DVD on, put Baby Bean in my Sleepy Wrap and decided to try it.  I didn't do too much since I'm really not suppose to be exercising for a while, because of the csection, but I was amazed at how even just carrying a 7lb baby was definitely a work out while doing the exercises.  I felt that the music was upbeat and kept you motivated.  I didn't have to worry about Baby Bean waking up or interrupting my "exercising" because he was already on me and happy.  Once I fully recover from the surgery I plan to sling Peanut and do this DVD.  He is almost 30lbs, so I know I'll really feel the burn with him!  Plus, it'll be a way that I can bond with just him since he really does love to be worn.
