Ladies, hold on to your ovaries.
An Instagram video of an adorable 3-year-old boy babywearing his newborn sister has recently gone viral, and I’m not even being dramatic, it made my middle-aged uterus beg for mercy. It is literally the CUTEST. THING. EVER.
See for yourself!

The cuties in question are big brother Carter and his baby sister Dion. Their mom, Autumn Altamirano-Bailey, posted the viral video to her Instagram, where it now has well over two million likes. She gave Good Morning America her reaction to seeing the siblings bond in this way “My heart was so happy. I’m an only child so seeing this moment and other moments with Carter and his siblings is truly the best.”
This wasn’t the first time sweet little Carter had wanted to babywear a sibling, Autumn explained, but it was the first time he was finally big enough to safely give it a go.
“I baby-wore with Miles, my other son, [as a newborn] as well. He wanted to baby-wear Miles, and we tried, but Miles was too big and Carter was too small, she said. “So to finally be able to baby-wear his sister, he was so excited and happy.”
And, might I add, SO. Stinking. ADORABLE!
Watching Carter gently sway back and forth with his sister strapped to him in a baby wrap carrier while he carefully holds her little head with his hands and nuzzles her with his face is just about the sweetest, most tender, heart-melting expression of sibling love I’ve ever seen. I love the way their mama has encouraged and enabled this nurturing instinct in her oldest child. I imagine he will be an amazing father and caregiver one day.
As a mom of three kids ages three and under, Autumn no doubt has a hectic life, and she says moments like these between her children are extremely rewarding.
“In my experience and opinion, seeing these moments between my kids makes everything worth it,” she told GMA. “Seeing my boys care for their sister makes my heart explode, and again makes all the hard moments worth it.”
It makes my heart explode, too! All the best to this beautiful, loving family. Thanks for sharing this video and touching so many hearts!
