Around The World In A Baby Carrier
Around the World in a Baby Carrier
Welcome to Around the World in a Baby Carrier — a journey across continents, cultures, and generations to witness one of the most universal acts of care: carrying a baby close.
Before bassinets and strollers, before parenting books and baby gadgets, there are arms. Slings. Wraps. Cloths. Shawls. Bark. Wool. Woven grasses. Shaped wood. Whatever can be tied, draped, looped, carved, or knotted becomes a way to carry babies in rhythm with daily life. Whether climbing mountains, walking to market, dancing, working, weaving, farming, praying, or resting — babies are there, held close to heart and body. The form may vary, but the function is the same: to keep a baby safe, nurtured, and connected.
A Note on the Order of This Journey
This series follows a gentle, story-driven path around the world, inspired by the spirit of exploration rather than order or importance. Each culture and carrying tradition is equally honored and valued. The sequence chosen is meant to reflect a narrative flow — weaving together our shared humanity — not a ranking or historical timeline. Thank you for joining this journey with an open heart.
