Quick Switch to Nursing
Someone on the Facebook page asked for help making a quick switch to a nursing position when baby is already wrapped up. Sorry, I don’t remember who asked, but this post is for you, and I hope you see it! With my 4 month old I’m doing a lot of quick nursing. It seems that [...]

Practice Putting Baby on Your Back
If you’re new to babywearing on your back, you and your baby both need to become comfortable with it. If you are worried or uncertain, your baby will be worried and is likely to cry. I recommend practicing without the wrap. The best place is where you and your baby can both see yourselves in [...]
custom wrap straps
Most back carries with a wrap will have either rucksack straps (the wrap comes straight down from your shoulder and goes underneath the same arm like a backpack–or vice versa, from under one arm to over the same shoulder) or are crossed across the chest so the wrap goes from over one shoulder to under [...]
