Indonesian Baby Carrier - Selendang Batik

Indonesian Selendang Batik Baby Carrier
If you're Indonesian, chances are...you've spent quite a bit of your childhood being carried in this Indonesian baby carrier, selendang batik.
I think I spent most of my childhood being carried in one...in fact, my old nanny carried me on her back using this selendang while cooking and had my toe burnt by the stove while doing it.
Ah...what fun!

My helper brought one selendang batik with her when she came to work for us...and it has work its magic. Its convenient, it helps us manage the baby's weight on our body, it gives us one free arm, and most importantly...little Marcus loves it! Being carried in selendang batik, he sleeps like...a baby ;)

Ah wells, he's half Indonesian after all :D

...and the batik looks good on papa SC too, eh?
