But if you go to the remote rural areas, it’s a often seen.Together, they run a pop-up library introducing new parents to baby-wearing — or going around with babies tied to their bodies using slings. They also perform quick demos and rent out products at nominal prices, creating a library-like format. "Our primary motive, along with spreading the benefits and joys of safe babywearing, is to create a comfortable healthy community for new mothers, where they can find support and reach out to for sailing through a very demanding role they fulfil tirelessly,” Yaman concludes.
