The twins : the reason behind the formation of Snugbub back in 2016, were kids extensively in carriers moving about with their parents

Questions were raised:
? How will they become independent?
? Their milestones will get delayed ?
? They will be stuck to you forever ?

So so proud to share, today as they turn 9, they bring to the world their very own creations:

1. YummEazy Recipes Book by Vibha
Compiles 50 plus kid friendly, plant-based, yummy recipes with an aim to empower children and everyone with this life skill

2. Car Trunp cards: A card games suitable for 2 plus players that includes a range of cars- EV, sports cars, and more. Perfect for those lazy family nights or travel times. Through this game he blends his passion for cars and play hoping to bring in fun and knowledge at the same time..

Vibha and Viaan are currently unschooling and growing into loving, smart individuals..

Wish you all a very happy new year!

As a babywearing educator when I started my work back in 2016, I had a clear vision to make babywearing available and accessible to all.

Babywearing is a tool that really makes a huge difference in your parenting journey. It not just eases out things for caregivers but has lot of benefits for the baby as well.

As a step towards this objective, the month of Jan, we will be putting up some library carriers on sale. Carriers which are in good condition and functional.

We will be putting up details on insta stories each day. So keep an eye and dm to book yours :) Delivery across India.

We always say this in our support community:
“Massage is not a chore, it’s a great tool. Do it Yourself for your baby”

Massage in an intimate bonding activity, greatly relaxing activity, which further has immense benefits for the baby and caregiver too.

Nothing against paid help. But massage? Let it be you and your baby’s connection time and not a checklist item 🩷

Remember the benefits of massage can only be experienced when the baby is equally connected in the process and is comfortable with the touch too.

Spreading the babywearing love.. one family at a time..

Glimpses of the Mysore meet..

Thank you Vinutha- for organising the meet at such short notice..

Want to try carriers? The next meet up is on 16 in Bangalore..

We are excited!! Book Release: Drops of Nurture

We always wonder, how scanty are the resources on important postpartum topics available from an Indian lens! Here we have a powerful pack of 30 women, sharing their stories, experiences, learning- in one book. Thanks to for conceptualising this book ❤️ This book beautifully captures 30 dimensions to breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is special- natural but not always easy for all mothers. Through this book we hope to provide some guiding light, hope, tools for expecting and new parents to help them achieve their breastfeeding goals!

This book is extra special for Snugbub, as we have not one, not two, but four team members contributing chapters in the book.

The book is available for purchase on Amazon, kindle and pothi too..

Cheers!

Mother and Multitasking.. Aren't the words synonymous?!

Now let's add employment to the mix. Yes, we get it. It's overwhelming. And we are here to support you in this phase of your life. You may be resuming work for multiple reasons, but that does not take away the challenges.

We have designed a program especially for mothers returning to work, or mothers who have already resumed work and need some extra support.

The two-day Live Workshop "Balanced Beginnings" will help you navigate the
- operational challenges (baby care: feeds, solid food, sleep routine, alternative caregivers), as well as
- the emotional aspects (self-care, mental preparation, affirmations etc)
And we are confident this workshop will give you all the tools and positivity you need to get back to work confidently.

DM us if you have any questions. Payment link in bio.

- child led
- mixed age group for a healthy osmosis
- managing big feeling of little ones in a healthy way

Not sure why your baby is so unsettled at nights?

Listing the Top 5 reasons we come across behind bad nights for your little ones:
1. Teething
2. Overtiredness
3. Anxieties
4. Environmental factors
5. Force feeding/ overfeeding

We believe problems do have underlying causes and also answers! We also believe in gentle sleep solutions that are age appropriate and respect the needs of both: the baby and the caregivers!

Need help with your child's sleep? Head to our website and sign up for the 'Baby Sleep Basics' recorded course.

aDRUMROLLS!

We are proud to announce the newest IBCLC in town: the Founder of Snugbub. IBCLC is the highest qualification in the field of lactation. She is one of the few IBCLCs in India from a non-medical background.

What does that mean? You get nothing but the best when you reach out to us for postpartum care!

We, the entire Snugbub team are super excited to support you in your parenting journey

Yes we are all worried about our child’s sleep!

❔Are they getting enough sleep?
❔Are they overtired?
❔Are the wake windows fine?
And so on..

And today we would like to share how important it is to have a holistic, gentle sleep coach on your side!

Let’s understand how..

Child sleep issues can be broadly bucketed in these categories:
📍Real sleep issues
📍Perceived sleep issues
📍 Other issues impacting sleep

A holistic sleep coach, is able enough to look through the situation and categorise the issues in the above buckets.

A holistic sleep coach looks at the situation from a professional, unbiased lens with the sole intention to support you and your baby!

Quick fixes are never long term nor reliable!

And we are proud to share that our team is equipped with able professionals, who not only are qualified but also experienced in these areas to support you in the best possible way!

"Why do you need help for breastfeeding? Its a natural process!"
-
-
-
is an argument you hear often. But did know, even if natural, only a few mothers have an uneventful breastfeeding journey. And guess what, most of the problems are avoidable!

With the right knowledge, your breastfeeding experience can turn out much smoother and more joyful! And that's why, we have curated a special breastfeeding education session for you!

The recorded workshop covers mainly the basics of breastfeeding:
- Prenatal preparation
- Feeding immediately after delivery
- Getting a Good Latch
- Find out if you are making enough milk
- Tips and tools to make breastfeeding sustainable
and more..

Sign up today! Link in bio.

Our motto right from the beginning was
-
-
-
To make babywearing accessible and available for all. And hence we have multiple channels available for caregivers to learn the art of babywearing:
> Meetups
> 1:1 consultations
> Babywearing workouts and walks
> Carrier Library
> Video tutorials on Youtube
etc.

And today we bring to you yet another learning medium: A recorded babywearing workshop! Watch at your own pace with access for good three months!

"My baby doesn't sleep"

"How can my baby sleep through the night?"

"Nothing works, nothing can help my baby sleep"

Familiar statements? Yes as a pediatric sleep coach, I often come across these statements. But when I really analyze each case, most of the time it is the
'Unreasonable adult expectations' which puts the baby in a difficult position :P

The fact is
BABIES SLEEP DIFFERENTLY THAN ADULTS

While there are multiple differences, the three important ones are
1. Sleep Cycle variance: Both frequency and type
2. Nutritional needs: While we all know babies need to be fed more frequently, the tendency is to strike out nighttime from this - suo motto. Instead, work with a LC to draw out a sustainable plan. This ensures yours and baby's needs are met.
3. Self-regulation: Babies cannot regulate the internal and external environments. Yes they need support. Self-soothing is a developmental milestone; each child will do it at a different time!

Need help in decoding your baby's sleep? You can:
- DM us for a consult or
- Purchase out Baby Sleep Basics workshop

All about yesterday..

The monthly Community meet up. Where we meet, greet, exchange ideas (even toys and books).
