Another Reason to Wrap Your Baby
So you can use your baby as a pillow when you fall asleep!
One of Three Contest Winners
The first winner of my photo contest is Melissa. Thanks for contributing to my project with your example of things you can do in a wrap! The pendant you chose is on its way to you for your prize. Anyone else have something to say about the freedom wrapping grants to parents and babies? Two [...]
Arms In, Arms Out
When your little one grows enough that he or she is no longer content always nestling against your chest, pulling one of your baby’s shoulders and arms out of the wrap keeps him close while giving him a little more of a view of the world that is beginning to catch his attention. This age [...]
Babywearing Excursions
Our dear friend Robby took us to the most beautiful national park yesterday: Grandview in West Virginia. He also brought his camera so I have a great shot of me, my baby, and the heavenly forest surround. I also have a slightly less picturesque shot of my husband with our one year old beside a [...]

Obviously, having a baby in a carrier isn’t enough. The material isn’t magical. It’s using the material to hold your baby in [...]
On Facing Out
I’m not a fan of outward facing babywearing (when your baby has his or her back against your stomach and is facing away from you). There are a lot of opinions on whether this is safe, or good, and for the most part they are just opinions. For me it boils down to this: Facing [...]
