We're online!

After many hours building www.marvellousmeitais.co.uk, we are finally online! We are a (very) small business producing handmade mei tais (Asian style baby carriers) and this blog will be used to keep you up to date with new research, design ideas and opinion requests and of course, discounts and special offers.

We were inspired to create this website for mums, dads and care givers through personal experiences and observations...

'Baby wearing' provides such a wealth of emotional comfort and physical stimulation for babies, not to mention the enjoyment and emotional aspect for the wearer. Being able to offer your baby the stability he needs in the first months of his life by having him close to you, can be a determining factor in the nature of your baby and therefore the ease with which you journey through parenthood. You will quite possibly find people around you have an opinion on your 'wearing' of your baby, whether it be for a short time or for the majority of the day - classic examples include 'making a rod for your own back' or 'losing your independence'. It has been proved time and again through the experiences of carrier using parents and care givers that it is, in fact, quite the opposite - your baby gains confidence that you will always be there for him, leading to a calm, independent yet affectionate child.

The other obvious benefit is the hands-free capabilities carriers afford in your day to day life. If you have an unsettled child, it can be very difficult to leave him crying to attend to things that need doing. It would be fantastic if the house cleaned itself, if food was prepared by magic and errands outside the home were carried out for you, but we all know this just won't happen!

We hope you enjoy keeping in touch with this blog and browsing our website.
