Close to the Heart

This is Aiko when she was two months old.
Jakarta -or Cibubur to be exact- was in the middle of the hot and dry season. Babies struggle with hot and dry weather like that. They cannot be kept inside the bedroom all day, of course. The weather tires mothers twice as much. 

I put Aiko in a baby wrap. Unlike sling, a baby wrap let her stay near my body -my chest- tightly while I can use my two hands freely. Because she was near my heartbeat, she could sleep soundlessly.
