Baby-friendly! A collection of safe, handmade swaddle ideas

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Towel uses that help in disasters

@tomonite_official
In a sudden disaster, you might not be able to evacuate with a baby carrier. Holding your baby in your arms the whole time can be tough on your body, so remember the “towel sling” method. You can also use a swaddle or a light scarf instead of a towel. To prevent your baby from falling, always keep a hand under their bottom while carrying them.

We would like to introduce an idea for using a bath towel as a baby carrier—an approach that can be helpful in emergencies.

In disaster situations or when you need to move quickly, this is a reassuring way to hold your baby safely.

By folding a large bath towel and tying it in a specific way, you can use it as a substitute for a baby carrier.

It requires no special tools, is easy to carry, and can be put to use by anyone right away.

It gently fits a baby’s body, giving both parent and child a sense of security.

Having this prepared can ease anxiety in times of need and help raise disaster-preparedness awareness at home.
