I was going to make a video of a back carry, but Cassidy wanted to nurse and would not be put off. So there I was standing on the beach nursing with him in my arms, holding a wrap. What could I do? I wrapped him up while he nursed! I thought I was improvising, [...]
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 [...]
We nurse often, but we aren’t stuck at home because we happily nurse everywhere! We cloth diaper, but we aren’t stuck at home because wet bags make it easy to cloth diaper on the go. We EC (elimination communication) too, but with a potty in the trunk and lots of bushes and restrooms, that’s easy [...]

I’ve recently hit upon my new favorite nursing position. I guess I’ve been wrapping Belle with legs out more often.

I was never a fan of the Front Cross Carry until now. I don’t know if it is because it shines brightest when wrapping with a newborn, or if my love affair with the FCC will continue as Annabelle gets bigger. I’ll let you know. What I know so far is that it is the [...]
Babywearing, and nursing, at the Florida State Fair: Above you can see where I put Annabelle in the front cross carry sideways. I figured it would give her a view while still supporting her in a physiologically safe way, and giving her a way to cuddle against me before she became overstimulated. I think it’ll [...]
A (well meaning) friend asked with concern whether Annabelle sleeps outside the wrap since “it just seems like such a comfortable place to sleep!” I hastily assured her that Annabelle sleeps just fine in her cradle by day and in our bed at night. “But not on me,” I assured her. I was quick to [...]
The term is brand new to me, but it turns out I already practice ecological breastfeeding! I came across it in my search for an acceptable birth control method. Ecological breastfeeding is free, comfortable, and natural–it fits all my criteria! Wikipedia reports that it has a 1% failure rate in the first six months of [...]
