Now that LO is so much bigger (almost 3 y.o), i only wear him when he wants to be carried for a long time (so when we are out somewhere), I don't do chores anymore. Although when he is sick and we are home and he still wants to be carried, i managed to get him on my back and cook dinner and he fell asleep. i was amazed because it had been so long since that happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277970 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 13:22:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2277970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh... Everything? I only don't do serious cleaning that involves bleach or harsh cleaners! And as they get bigger it's more annoying since they're bulkier in the front, and I haven't mastered back carry yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277950 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 13:11:06 +0000 PurplePeony 2277950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always too nervous to do anything around the stove, it just seems unsafe to me. And I couldn't hand wash dishes because the water got everywhere. But I cleaned and vacuumed, loaded the dishwasher, and did laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277921 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 12:55:28 +0000 Corduroy 2277921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. I'll give it another shot. Baby slept well last night and just got a good nap so maybe we'll be able to make it work today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277722 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:47:14 +0000 namaste 2277722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything. Even now that DD is 8 months old, I can get standing work done when I'm out of my home in and in clients' offices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277712 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:42:17 +0000 Mae 2277712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 15 mo I have to keep moving. So I vacuum, sweep, mop, tidy up, and if I'm like... Carrying stuff around. That's about it. Sometimes I can wear her to cook for like 15 min if I bribe her with my phone and dance a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277708 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:38:14 +0000 YouGotMe 2277708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until I could back carry my LO I couldn't do any chores while babywearing. I couldn't figure out the issue until DH pointed out I have short arms. LO needs to be moving to be happy but I've baked, prepared for parties, cleaned the floors and tomorrow I'm going to help some friends move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277705 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:35:24 +0000 Mama Bird 2277705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cooking, sweeping, putting away laundry, running errands... anything that doesn't involve bending or sitting down. I've tried to wash dishes and laundry too, but my arms aren't quite long enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277703 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:35:10 +0000 rattles 2277703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for all of them. Dusting/sweeping/mopping, cooking, laundry, yard work...nothing would get done in my house without it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277693 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:30:42 +0000 hocuspocus 2277693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made breakfast/dinner, vaccumed, laundry and yard work. It's such a life saver in this house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277692 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:29:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2277692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything. Seriously. It's the only way I got anything done with #2. I've cooked dinner, cleaned, gone to the bathroom, done laundry, wiped my toddler after potty, even given my toddler a bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-chores-do-you-do-while-baby-wearing#post-2277686 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 10:23:20 +0000 Corduroy 2277686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear my baby (2.5 months) to soothe him and for transportation. I keep coming across the suggestion to do chores while baby wearing. I've tried to make that happen but DS is only happy when I'm walking or swaying, my daughter was the same way. Even if he was happy I'm having trouble picturing which chores would work the best.</p> <p>Have you been able to do chores while front wearing? Which chores do you get done? </p>
