ERGObaby carrier > Baby Stories > A STORY FROM AFRICAA STORY FROM AFRICA
You cannot imagine the smiles all over my face when I am sending you this mail! This is my first time carrying my baby, Charlene, using a professional carrier, this time the ERGO baby carrier! 3 People have asked me where I got it. I have a little story I want to share with all of you at ERGO Baby Carrier, Inc. I hope you will find time to read it. When I had my first daughter Chantal, 3 years and 3 months ago 24th May 2004, I went through a lot of hard times when it came to carrying my baby to hospital, about 3 kilometres to my garden and 3 kilometres from the garden, Monday to Friday. I devised means by using a cloth and tied her on my back or lift her on my shoulders because I wanted her to be close to me all the time because I wanted to breastfeed her, as it was cheap and healthy for me to afford. I could walk half way and take a rest in the Jackfruit tree (see photo 2 attached) for about 20 minutes and then later proceed home. When I got a job in May 2006 that I could work 3 days a week 9am- 5pm for $150, and my days were reduced to 3 garden days when I would do the same, and I should say it has been very difficult. I have experienced serious back pains especially at the behind part of the shoulders. I had my second daughter, Charlene, on 19th February 2007 who is now 6 months and not much has changed as far as carrying her is concerned. I devised means using ordinary cloth. I have managed through with God's Guidance and protection. I am sure this pain is going away with the use of my present.
Because I have interests in breastfeeding, I read a lot of information
on bf and here I came to read information by LLL (La Leche League) USA
when they organized their 50th anniversary. I read about you as one of
the sponsors. Thanks for your continued support to breastfeeding. I
sent an email to your company and I did not know who I was sending it
to. I should say She or He is a God sent person for having decided to
send me the “MAGIC” bag I call it. Send my sincere thanks to Sydney
who replied to my mail.
When I was called to come and pick my parcel, I almost failed to sleep at night because a lot was running through my mind, imagining so many things, some work at home with my baby at the back, reduced weight, stress reduction, etc.
Thank you so much! You have not given this bag to me alone but to my
children, too. I will have more time to spend with my baby because I
almost left her home because of the kilos she is gaining. For those to
come my project for supporting, promoting and protecting breastfeeding
that I am working on because I take off time the days when I am not at
my official job and night to work on my project. It has saved me some
$s almost half of my monthly salary that I would have used to buy a
carrier. I want to see my self independent in the near future
supporting breastfeeding and other mothers going through difficult
situations with little support from their partners because I feel the
best thing I can give to children is spending enough time with them
and learning from their development. I have a dream of happy children
and happy mothers. Thanks\ you for my wonderful present! It is helping
me to add on my savings for my dream project. I am going to add $50 on
to my project account with currently $355. It is going to increase
to $405. If there are any people you know who can support me with my
project in any way I will be very grateful.
I cannot thank you enough and I have nothing much to give you If only I could post a cabbage or jackfruit or one of the plants in my garden I could. I invite those of you who can come to Uganda and my home in particular for days because I have nothing much. I can only pray for you and wish you all the best and ask the good Lord to give you more wisdom. I will keep in touch and tell you how I am moving on with my ERGO baby carrier.
On Sunday I was making juice for lunch and my baby did not want to keep down. I just picked my ERGO and carried her and here she was breastfeeding while I was making the juice! How magical the ERGO baby carrier is! Thanks so much
See here with sample photos attached. Please let me know if you needed post the photos, I can send them too. These may not be clear photos but I will send the best ones soon.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely yours,
Josephine Nalugo
