When we were born into the Tiong household, my mother did not wish to acquired a personal maid or amah to look after us.
So in order to multi task, she would carry all her baby using a sarong, slung across her chest. Sometimes she would tie the sarong in such a way that the baby was snuggled behind her back.
she said that it was comfortable enough for her to carry the baby for long hours like that and she did not waste time looking after the baby, or having the baby out of her sight.
Babies carried in a sarong tend to be even tempered and close to their mothers. I suppose it is because of close body contact and confidence resulting from the even breathing and heart beats of the mother. However all these could be researched further.
