A rite of passage as a Malawian baby is being put into a chitinge for the very first time. At 7 weeks old it was time for J to take his place as a true Malawian! Agnes wanted him to go onto AJ's back first because her back was smaller. She showed us how to properly tie him up and secure him. We still need for him to gain a little more head control before I'm comfortable carrying him around on my back. But what an exciting time we had learning to tie the chitinge and exactly how to get him safe and snug! What would we do without Agnes???
As with most Malawian babies, J went right to sleep on AJ's back! Agnes said it's important to start him out this early to get him used to being on the back. I think he likes it!
