The Front Cross Carry is perfect for lots of ins and outs with a new baby, but the two of you will only enjoy it if you wrap baby high on your chest. If baby tends to sink down deep into the wrap, try holding your baby and putting the wrap on around him or [...]
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 [...]
We’re crossing state borders regularly now, and so far we haven’t escaped Summer. Most of the country is HOT right now! Mothers of babies are, perhaps, destined to be a little warmer than the rest of the population. Like pregnant women, it is part of the package: we trade uninterrupted sleep and bodily autonomy for [...]
My wrapping style, like my parenting in general, has gotten more comfortable and relaxed now that I’m on the third baby. You know how they tell you that your newborn baby needs to wake up to nurse every two hours, should have 6-8 wet diapers per day, and needs to wear a hat? These are [...]
Anyone who sells or promotes a product should accompany that pitch with advice for using the product safely. But it’s lately occurred to me that “babywearing safety” is mostly the same thing as “baby safety” and is good for any parent or caregiver to be familiar with, whether or not a baby carrier is in [...]
I recently added to my store several options for cold-weather babywearing. Of all of them, I picked a kindercoat for myself and this is why: I only want to own one coat for normal use, pregnant use, and babywearing use. I’m a minimalist. The fleece insert, used solo, is perfect for most of the cold [...]
All of the wraps I use are woven wraps. There is another kind of wraparound carrier known as a stretchy wrap. Stretchy and woven wraps are close cousins in that they are both long pieces of fabric which you tie around yourself and your baby in the position of your choice. They are tied similarly [...]
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 [...]
How do you babywear in cold weather? As it turns out, there are many options. Babywearing outerwear specifically designed for accommodating the two of you and the babycarrier. Babywearing outwear comes in the form of coats, jackets, vests and ponchos. Some are for cooler weather than others. Some are water resistant. Some are made from [...]
I’ve not used rebozos much, except for a while when Ada was two and I used one for a quick rucksack tied under the bottom…which is not really a rebozo carry anyway! Well, I tried some rebozo front carries with Annabelle when she was littler, and it was never as easy, adjustable, or intuitive (for [...]
