Drool Pads for SSC

A teething baby is really no joke.  One wonders where gone the happy, smiley face?  That little one has gone cranky; screaming and crying all day long.  How do we comfort a baby who cannot be comforted?  At times like this, babywearing seems to be the only solution, providing peace and silence to the ears.

Comfortable as it is, wearing my boy with moby wrap in this hot weather is unimaginable.  The SSC is God sent in this.  The little one seems to be contented with staying near mummy and being carried everywhere, hence, the crying stopped.  However, the teething pain is never forgotten.  The shoulder straps of the SSC is now the new target for the little one to bite.  The shoulder straps are soaked through with saliva in no time at all.  It is out of question to wash the serviceable SSC everyday. Thus, in order to protect the shoulder straps from further drenched with saliva, I came out with my own DIY drool pads.

The little one is supposed to bite and drools on the pads instead of the shoulder straps.  Thus, one need only to wash and replace the drool pads, instead of having to wash the whole SSC. 

My DIY drool pads is basically a handkerchief sandwiched with two pieces of printed cottons.  Snaps are put in place to hold the pads at the shoulder straps.  Velcro can be used as well but I prefer snaps as velcro tend to get dirty with time.

The completed drool pads fit both my DIY SSC and the Pognae SSC.  My boy doesn't know any better between biting the shoulder straps and the drool pads.
