In recent years, men have been focusing on child -rearing, such as male childcare leave and actively participating in childcare.I have not only moms but dads as well as childcare. Both moms and dads are the closest to the growth of the baby so that they can live a more happy and rich life through raising children."hug"I will introduce the thoughts, worries of each daddyama, and the hugs that can be used together.

Is "hug" a childcare? Daddy childcare situation

"My dad doesn't cooperate with childcare at all!"
From a mom who is busy with childcare every day, "Dad doesn't do housework or childcare at all! "I act like Ikumen even though I'm just doing it sometimes!"It seems that there are many things that are dissatisfied with. However, according to a questionnaire, there are so many dads who want to actively participate in childcare, and 97.0%of dads answered that they would like to participate in childcare, and 74.6%answered that they would like to take childcare leave and half -education leave. I am doing it.

What is child -rearing?It is a great burden both physically and mentally, so it would be helpful if Daddy really actively participated in childcare!


 
 

I want to have so many dads participating in childcare! Many moms feel one -operated childcare. Why?


0 -year -old childcare questionnaires about childcare conducted by dads are performed by most dads, and more than 80 % of "changing diapers" and "taking a bath" is more than 80 %. It turns out that Dad is practicing.

Childcare graph that Daddy is doing

Certainly, if you ask, you will be happy to do it. It may be that there are many dads who are good at changing diapers or taking a bath.
But from a mom's point of view,"I want to clear the dirty diapers." "If you take a bath, I want you to wipe your body, change clothes, and end up with a toothbrush!"It seems that there are things that I want to do more.

On the other hand, in a questionnaire on things that are particularly difficult and difficult about childcare, "night crying", "sleeping", "preparation and preparation for baby food" is a big difference, and it is the top 3, especially "night crying correspondence". Nearly half of my dad was not good at "sleeping".

Childcare graph that is not good

Childcare that is easy to work on such as "playing with children", and childcare with a certain pattern, such as "changing diapers" and "taking a bath", have relatively low hurdles, "sleeping sleeping" and "night crying" Correspondence, etc.Regarding that you don't go as you want, you can see that there are many dads who are not good at it.
I guess it's not good to leave it to my mom because I'm not good at it.

If you leave the difficult things to say, "I'm better at mom" and "I don't know how to do it", my mom feels "only easy things".
At first, it is important to challenge while failing.

What my mom is not good at is that she feels very difficult. Let's cooperate with each other!

Why Daddy doesn't use a hug

 It is a convenient and unstable hug, but it seems that men are not used to it.

When I took a questionnaire on Baby & Me, the following three reasons for daddy do not use a hug.

Why not use a hug?
・ Design and size do not match
・ You can hug you without a hug
・ My body is hard and I am not good at mounting
(From Baby & Me Survey)

Certainly, there are many cute designs that are conscious of using moms.
Although it is an impression of our shop, it has become a corona whirlpool, and it has been due to the fact that remote work has progressed and dad's home time has become longer. It has become like this.

In addition, a muscular dad who is more muscular compared to mom can hug without getting tired even without a hug! Many people think. Certainly, men may be more burdensome than women.

What kind of hug should I choose?

Even if you choose a hug string, it is a very difficult task to find and select "which is better" or "whether you can use it as a mom" from many types.
I would like to easily explain what kind of hug to choose to use for Daddy.

Unisex hug

Considering economic things, a hug that can be used as a dad and mom is the best. If there is not much difference in daddy mom, you can share one hug.
Even if there is a physique differenceA hug string that is easy to adjust the sizeThen you can use it without feeling too much stress.

There are many things that can be used for a long time, it is economical, and the size can be adjusted, so it is a hug with many people to choose.

A hug dedicated dedicated

If the physique difference between Daddy Mama is large, it may be better to prepare a hug dedicated dedicated. If you are different in height, your shoulders are different, so if you use the same thing, you may feel uncomfortable for your baby.
By creating a "daddy only", your dad's motivation will increase, and you can enjoy childcare more.

RecommendedSling type
There are many simple designs, and even dads who are not good at wearing buckles can be used without resistance. Although the size is divided by body type, it is relatively inexpensive compared to the waist belt type or hip seat carrier, so it is good to prepare it for daddy.

In such a case, a hug dedicated dedicated is recommended.

If the size does not fit each other

If either dad or mom does not fit, it will gradually stop using it. When trying on a hug string, try it on, rent and try it at home, and it is safe to check each other's fit.

If you need to change the size many times

If you need a lot of adjustments, such as straps and belts, you will feel troublesome before wearing a hug.
If you are not used to hugging yet, you may want to use a hug as soon as your baby begins to cry. If it takes a long time to install it when you compete, there is no source or child.
If you have a lot of adjustments when you take a hug, it is smoother to prepare a hug.

If design and color hobbies do not match

Even if it is functionally satisfactory, design and color hobbies may not match. It is important to approach, but it is also recommended to incorporate your favorite colors to enjoy your daily hug life.

Baby & Me also rent a hug.
If you want to try it slowly with your family, please consider it.
