My daughter is 2 years old. She was recently diagnosed with Autism. I have been babywearing since  she was a couple weeks old, babywearing is the only thing guaranteed to make her happy instantly.  Dealing with our new situation, her dislike for new people and new places, babywearing comes into play. If she's around lots of people that she doesn't want near I can just wear her and she feels protected and will interact way better with them.  She can slowly get acclimated to new people by me wearing her until she's ready to be closer to them.  If she's cranky and won't sleep I put her up and instantly she gets the rest she's needing.  If I'm going out she immediately gets her ssc for me to carry her. She will immediately calm down if I wear her.  I am more than thankful for having the right information about babywearing, knowing that her being a Toddler doesn't mean we have to stop since we are both not ready to do so. I love wearing my daughter so hapoy i...

I am from Puerto Rico and so far this hurricane season has been brutal. In 2 weeks we have been hit with 2 category 5 hurricanes.  So how do you keep your kids entertained for a week with no power? As soon as I knew a hurricane was coming I printed off lots of activities, bingo cards and playing cards. This helped a lot since my 7 year old had lots to do to distract himself from the sound of the winds and being scared.  My one year old in the other hand was content with having her boob available. Babywearing is my savior so on these instances have a baby carrier ready. If I had to evacuate this was in one of my bags.  For the adults I have powerbanks to charge our phones and lanterns and also battery powered fans.  Also lots and lots of snacks... Hurricanes make adults hungry for some reason I believe it's the anxiety.  Most important of all is to be in a safe place and to not go out until it is over.  Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.
