A special hug or kiss (or both) from their children is what makes Australian mums happy.

 

A survey1 of mothers over the Mother’s Day weekend by wholesale product gateway Babes in Arms revealed mums have simple wishes when it comes to what puts a smile on their faces.

The specialist national distributor of baby carriers and slings and babywearing expert, Babes in Arms, ran the survey over the weekend to see what made mums tick, director and reigning AusMumpreneur of the Year2 Anita Lincolne-Lomax said.

 

“When you’re a busy mum running a business, an office or a home, there is nothing like a hug and kiss from your child to put everything into perspective,” the mother-of-four said.

 

“The top responses to our Mother’s Day survey show Aussie mums like nothing better than special time with their families. This doesn’t surprise me at all because babywearing helps to form a strong relationship between parent and child.

 

“Being present for my four children means I work on Babes in Arms over a combination of days and late at night. Our family time is precious, which is why I created a business to work around that time,” Anita added.

 

In Australia’s pram-dominated culture, Babes in Arms has successfully raised awareness about the ancient wisdom and benefits of babywearing that promotes a peaceful start to life for new parents and their babies.

 

Babes in Arms sources the best baby slings and carriers from around the globe to build an select babywearing range that promotes a baby’s natural desire for closeness, but solves a parent’s need to be hands-free.

 

As an industry expert, Babes in Arms is both a national product gateway and an educational resource for parents, retailers and health professionals alike.
