3.6 meters: Shorter Wrap Options
I dedicated yesterday to my 3.6 meter Inka Storchenwiege. It is one of my very favorite wrap colorways, has been used plenty and is floppy soft, and I used it in July in Florida, albeit mostly indoors. I am something like 5’3 and 115 lbs. The 3.6 was too short for FWCC or BWCC, but [...]
Cloth diaper meet-up
Tuesday the Pinellas Cloth Diaper Chatter group had a meet-up at the beach. We love cloth diapers, but for me, everything is about baby wraps! Amy has a new Lou Neobulle in a shorter size than her other wrap and wanted to know what carries she could do with it. She knew she had a [...]
Babies Must Breathe
It is true of all human babies that they must be able to breathe. This is true in arms, in bed, in wraps, and in cars. Always and everywhere. Usually there is no difficulty. But in the case of a very young infant, especially premature or weak infants, extra care is wise as the baby [...]
Double Hammock Carry
I finally put up a page for the Double Hammock Carry. Photo tutorial now available, thank you dear husband for photographing! I also have a couple of videos: This one with my god-daughter Aurora, shows a toddler in a double hammock carry. This one is my newborn in a double hammock (legs tucked in). I [...]
Sizing Down For Summer

By learning one or two great carries that don’t use much fabric, you can get away with a short wrap that layers across yourself and your baby fewer times. Fewer layers, means less hot! Short Wrap Front Carries: [...]
Warm Weather Wrapping in a Gauze Wrap
The biggest complaint I’d hear about wrapping was getting too hot in Summer. So I got a gauze wrap and started using it almost exclusively. I found that it really did make a difference! The lightweight gauze is so thin, the airflow is much improved and my baby and I both stay cooler. Now I’m [...]
Is a baby wrap too hot?
Tina wrote: “I just had a question about using a wrap here in Florida. My daughter is 12 weeks old and loves being in the wrap, except she sweats so much! When I take her out she’s soaked in sweat, and I was just wondering if that was ok? Is there a better blend of [...]
First Foray into the Poppins Hip Carry
Belle is old enough now for me to start playing with hip carries. I don’t know if I would even bother if I didn’t have a blog to keep up…I have never found hip carries to be as easy, comfy, or convenient as front and back carries. I’ll try to make myself do hip carries [...]
Keeping A Little Baby From Getting Lost in the Wrap
Sometimes a parent puts a little baby into a wrap carry and the baby disappears down into the fabric. This can be upsetting to the baby and, most importantly, is dangerous. You should always be able to see your baby’s face. Your baby’s head should be high on your chest (in a front carry). And [...]
