We have been wearing Matthew since he was at least a month old. At two months he was big enough for his first mei tai and ever since it has been our carrier of choice. He’s used to it now - we use it everywhere - at the farmer’s market, at the airport, to and from daycare.

Beyond the convenience factor is the cuddly factor. It’s probably the only time we get to really snuggle him when he’s strapped to us and can’t run away. We can’t wear him forever, but we sure can enjoy the times he’s tight into us, gives us hugs, and lays wet and sloppy kisses on our lips.
