There are times when moms feel we have not done any productive thing for the day. It was just a day of shushing the baby to sleep, dancing while babywearing to lull them to sleep, feeding the baby, changing diapers, waking up in the middle of the night, and being a zombie. And that's while the eldest needs some conversations, and the 2nd needs some more attention.

Yes, it is overstimulating. Yes, it is overwhelming.

But that also means we are nurturing these little humans, and secretly praying and hoping they'll be kind human beings as they grow up.

And that is okay.

BREASTFEEDING IN AN SSC

Feeding babies on the go entails practice. If you are not that confident, best to wait until they have neck control.

Basically, it's really lowering everything until the baby reaches your bosom. Support with the other hand. As babies grow up, they will learn how to nurse on their own while inside the carrier - as long as they can reach the breast.

OUR SOLUTION TO STRETCHY WRAPS!

Do you enjoy stretchy wraps? They are a fave when it comes to newborns! But yes - we know getting and using a stretchy wrap can get overwhelming.

Long tails with stretchy wraps, but you hate them being on the floor!

And then there are the hybrid stretchies, but getting the right size is a pain. Oh, and you also cannot share with your husband if you two have different body sizes!

And then there is the issue of the fabric being too hot (nylony and plasticky) or too stretchy (too much spandex!)

We have the perfect solution for these things, but we are just road-testing it and making sure it is safe (a crucial material is safety-tested - certified by a 3rd party lab) and able to withstand up to 8 to 10kg of cuteness and can still give you the proper support! And we promise it won't be over P2000!

Snug is where newborns feel the most at home! ♡

"KAWAWA NAMAN YUNG BATA, ANG LIIT PA NAKA-CARRIER NA!"

Contrary to what oldies tell you, hindi kawawa ang batang nakacarrier. In fact, babywearing can give a ton of benefits not just for the carer, but also for the baby! You are hands-free, your baby feels at home because of your scent and heartbeat, they feel snug just like in the womb, they can sense the world from our point of view, it helps with spit-ups and reflux, you can easily see your baby's hunger cues...and many, many more.

Babywearing has been around for centuries, and quite frankly, there is nothing more natural than a mother carrying her newborn!

When done correctly with proper babywearing gear (actually, kahit nga kumot lang!), babywearing can free up the mother's hands so she can somewhat still move and go on with her daily life without being tied to just the newborn. So yes, in a way, it really does save a mother's sanity.

Here's a question that I have been meaning to ask: Do you mind the color of your wrap or carrier and your baby's gender?

Do you not want to wear a "feminine" color for your baby boy, like pinks and purples? And vice versa, do you not dress your baby girl in "masculine colors" such as blues or greens?

I am personally not bothered, but I am curious as to other parents!

Here's our 16-day-old baby boy in a pink stretchy wrap from ♡

Ring slings are great options for newborns. Yes, there is a learning curve for ring slings but once you get a hold of it, everything gets easy. Also great for toddlers and for hip carries!

And yes. Still hands-free to order some coffee 😜

Life does not stop when you have a newborn.

Your eldest needs to be enrolled in her classes. Your second needs to be cuddled and wrestled. Your groceries need to be bought. Your house needs some cleaning and managing.

And you and your partner both need some time for coffee alone to just stop, breathe and talk towards your goals and game plan.

So yes, bring the little one and enjoy your cup alone. Life is going by too fast - sometimes we just need to stop and smell the roses.

21/05/2024

Why do I babywear? Because I refuse to wait for someone else to hold my newborn and let my food be cold :P

Kidding aside, eating while babywearing takes practice and we always encourage safe babywearing. If you are eating something hot, always be cautious so as not to spill any on your baby's head! If you are unsure, stick to putting your head to the side, covering your baby's head with a hood, or eating something easy to munch on.

That being said, it will be inevitable that your baby will have some cookie crumbs on their heads at one point in their babywearing lives :P

11kg, 1yo in the Zima Mesh Carrier.

Still has room to grow, tbh. While the seat is already on its wide seat, it can still be somewhat flared out to have a comfortable knee-to-knee seat for babies beyond 1yo.

Everything is tightened because the wearer is XS, but it is still comfortable enough to carry a toddler for hours. See how elastics can be used so the straps are not hanging out!

* This blue-green color is not being sold anymore, but do not fret - we have the improved Zima Mesh Akane (Crimson Red) coming in and is going to be a staple color of the Zima carriers!

BACK TO NEWBORN BABYWEARING

Ah, the feeling of babywearing a newborn, but this time, with the bittersweet tug at the back of my heart that these are the last months of babywearing our newborn since, well, I believe we are done.

So yes, we will hopefully enjoy and cherish every moment that he is only THIS small - froggy legs in, happily tucked away, wrapped and warm.

The nights are long, but the years are so, so short.

7-day-old check-up time!

While most carriers state a minimum weight of 3.5kg or 7lbs, in reality, the height really dictates if your baby fits well in a carrier or not.

Some babies are heavier and may fall within the minimum weight, but they might not fit comfortably in a knee-to-knee setting in a carrier. Likewise, some babies are tall and can fit comfortably even without reaching the minimum weight.

Remember: ALWAYS USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT. If you feel something feels off, or until you are confident to babywear, defer. Also, it wouldn't hurt to ask!

Because we never really stop carrying our little ones - we just kind of tuck them away in our hearts, carrying them forever.

Happy mother's day to every mom, every person who acts like a mom, grandmoms, dads who are also moms, and basically everyone who has a mother's heart ♡

PS - I am roughly 36 hours post-partum, so so apologies still for delayed responses! More newborn babywearing photos coming up!

Babywearers, I will be out of pocket for the next couple of days. Baby #3 is coming. You can still order via Shopee and we will fulfill your orders. Thank you for understanding!

I've always stated that as parents, Zima only carries products that we believe in, that we actually use, and that we advocate for - which is why even if you ask us about other brands, we tend to diffuse those questions since we can only speak for our brand and can only guarantee the brands that we carry.

These include the Zima Carriers, Lennylamb, Littlefrog, and even the old brands that we used to carry such as Yaro Slings, Natibaby, and Ankalia.

I might give you a short comment on other brands that I have only personally used (because I have been a babywearing addict and our stash ranges anywhere from 20 to 30 carriers, ring slings, and wraps), but never about something that I have not personally used or tried. It breaks the credibility! :D And as a lawyer [and a human being!], it's something that we truly cherish.

So yes, I can only speak for our brands. Ask the babywearers over at Babywearing Philippines if you need feedback on other brands :D

07/05/2024

Some pieces still on sale. Do not miss the chance to get a VERY CHEAP Littlefrog Adjustable Carrier in 100% woven cotton!

What should your baby look like in the carrier? Ok lang bang nakabukaka si baby?

Contrary to what others think, yes - ganito po ang itsura ng bata sa loob ng carrier. Bakit ganito? Because this is the most ergonomic and comfortable position they are in. Notice that when you wear your baby, BUONG PWET NIYA ANG NAKASAPO. Hindi tulad ng ibang carrier na nakasabit sila sa singit, these ergonomic carriers act like a hammock, supporting the baby's bum from knee to knee, and their whole back.

When in doubt, ask yourself: san ba ko mas komportable as a person, sa nakaduyan yung buong pwet, o nakasabit ako sa singit? ;)

Also, yes - this is the proper height to babywear your little one!

Dahil sa sobrang dami na namang nagtatanong ng "OK po ba yung carrier na ito?" sa Babywearing Philippines, it seems fitting to repost this short reminder about non-safety-tested babywearing gear.

MAY RASON KUNG BAKIT MAHAL ANG MGA CARRIERS NA SAFETY-TESTED. Wag po tayong magtipid masyado at the expense of the comfort and safety of our babies because they are priceless.

REPOSTING from Mommy Shane Cuison Baniel
Long and sarcastic rant ahead. Bawal sa balat-sibuyas.

➡️ All of the brands that we carry for our carriers and wraps are ergonomic and safety-tested - WE DO NOT SELL THESE CARRIERS. READ THE WHOLE POST ⬅️

👏 To learn more about proper babywearing, join us at Babywearing Love PH and Babywearing Philippines 👏

Nagkalat itong murang-murang baby carrier na ito na akala ng marami, eh nakatipid sila, setting aside their baby's SAFETY. Bukod sa nakalambitin, oo NAKALAMBITIN, hindi nakaupo si baby sa ganyan, very risky dahil anytime without you knowing eh pwedeng mangyari ang mga ito:

Mag snap ang buckles
Lumuwag ang strap
Mapunit ang tahi
Mabutas ang tela

Ending: Bagsak si baby, iiyak, matataranta ka.
Eh pano kung nabagok ang ulo? Eh pano kung unconscious na agad?

O kaya naman dahil sa higpit o maling position, hindi siya nakahinga, nakita mo nangingitim na.

Sino sisihin mo 'nay? Yung seller? Yung manufacturer? Walang iba, kundi sarili mo. Kasi nagtipid ka masyado. Kasi nakiuso ka. Kasi hindi mo inalam at hindi ka naging maalam sa babywearing na akala mo okey na basta mai-angkla mo siya. Kasi nagpadala ka sa "akala mo..."

Oh, long term effects tayo. Andiyan ang hip dysplasia kay baby. Andiyan ding sasakit balakang at balikat mo dahil hindi distributed properly ang weight niya.

Ikaw kaya nakalambitin nang matagal?

Gusto ko talaga mangalabit ng nanay sa mall. Sa simbahan. Sa supermarket. Everytime I see babies worn on that, I pity them. They can't complain at all, tinitiis na lang yung ngalay.
Please wag magtipid sa ganitong bagay, may dahilan kung bakit mahal ang mga legit and SAFETY-TESTED baby carriers. Mag-malong ka na lang o kumot gawin mong ring sling kesa ganito. At please, wag maki-uso. Hindi fad o fashion statement ang babywearing 'nay, na kung kailan mo lang feel gawin eh okay na. Rampa ka na agad!??

Our babies are our most precious and priceless accessory, WEAR THEM SAFELY.

-Inkblots-

Addendum: HINDI LAHAT NG NABIBILI SA MALL, safe or tama. May mahal nga na carrier na hindi ergonomic e at mali ang posisyon ni baby. Ugaliin po nating magbasa.

What's your bag of chouce when you're out babyweating your little one?

My husband likes this small sling bag since he can easily put it around the baby's back.. I, however, tend to lean towards tote bags so it's easier to grab stuff, and to stash whatever in it.

How about you? ♡ do you still use diaper bags, or bahala na basta kasya ang gamit ni baby? 😜

Planning meeting for 2024!

Lots of surprises in store for babywearers from the Zima fam this year!

We are definitely excited to introduce quality and premium babywearing gear at more reasonable price points, giving more Filipino families access to comfortable and safe babywearing options. ♡

Oh, and a more gender neutral palette? We gotchu 😜

28/04/2024

"Kaya bang isuot yung carrier mag-isa? Diko po kasi abot."

The chest belts/back buckles that secure the shoulder straps are actually movable. They can be moved up (for easy front carrying) and down (for those who prefer a back carrying and buckling it lower on their chests). So if you cannot reach it, just move it up! ♡

What’s with Zima.ph?

Zima (zhee-ma) means winter in the Polish language. Our family’s birthdays are in December, January, and February, which are considered winter months in Europe.

As parents to our growing Veronica, we were always on the lookout for great products for our baby. We know how hard it is to have a crying newborn all the time, wanting to be carried every second of the day.

And this is how our love for babywearing was born, along with the concept of having an online store under the name of Zima.ph.

We choose only safety-tested baby carriers and woven wraps to sell in the Philippines. As parents, we know how priceless it is to have peace of mind when it comes to your babies. This is why our brands are all certified.
