Baby Bug Bears

There are certain things that commonly grind peoples gears... the car that doesn't queue but zooms up in the outside lane and then indicates to join at the front of the line, cyclists who cycle on the road but then dangerously skip the lights, people spitting on the street.... to name but a few.

This morning, I saw two of my baby bug bears, things that most people probably don't even notice; that get me totally uncharacteristically and unjustifiably worked up.



Baby Bug Bear number one.

Babies without socks on in winter. I know it can be hard to keep babies socks on- believe me I know, but if they really wont stay on, then put baby in an all in one, buy some "sock ons" from Boots (Very clever little things that go over baby's socks and keep them in place), long socks from baby gap that go up to baby's knees or booties. There are so many options that I cannot help but fume when I see babies out and about in the cold with freezing
little toes visible to the world around them.



Baby Bug Bear number two.

With SO many amazing baby slings on the market (and lots of places to get them secondhand) there really is no excuse at all for using a bad one. That is why it upsets me when I see a newborn baby being carried in a sling that looks like a glorified piece of cloth strapped to the mothers side. This particular little fella was about two months old and with the sling coming up just under his neck his poor little head (not yet supporting itself) was bobbing all over the place. Poor little man.
