Physical & Emotional Connection through Baby Carrying: with Busi Musiiwa | #30

Carrying your baby is about more than comfort… It's about fostering a deep connection through proximity. On today's episode of the Spoil Your Baby podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum sits down with Busi Musiiwa: an Occupational Therapist, mom, and founder of BabueBaby, whose baby carriers are transforming the baby-wearing industry. Busi moved to Canada from Zimbabwe at a young age, yet she has always honored her home country and culture. In much of Africa, baby wearing is a way of life, shaping how babies experience their first years. When Busi arrived in Canada, she set out to design a carrier that honored those traditions while also meeting the comfort and safety expectations of Western parents. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, one thing is clear: by listening to this podcast, you are choosing to grow, to make space, and to care with intention.
