Sizing Down For Summer

One way to keep cool while you keep wrapping all Summer long, is to use less fabric. 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!

If you’re thinking about adding a short wrap to your stash, experiment with these carries with your long wrap. See which ones you like best, then measure how much extra wrap you have to see how small you can go! I like a wrap around 3.5 meters for most of these carries. Of course, a rebozo is perfect for the rebozo carry, which can be worn front, hip, or back! Rebozo (under 3 meters) is also long enough for the Reinforced Rear Rebozo Rucksack–a real sturdy short carry!

Belle is three months now, and fourteen lbs! I find that I am not wrapping her legs in anymore. They are so long and strong that they no longer seem to be part of the bundle I used to wrap. Instead of a newborn ball, Belle is unfolding into a more humanoid shape!

Current favorite carries are:

still the Front Cross Carry (FCC) most often and anytime we go out because she is still nursing a lot and it is still the easiest to adjust into nursing position, and simplest for popping in and out of as we drive from errand to errand.
still Double Hammock Carry (DHC) for a back carry because it is just so easy, solid, and comfy, and I can do it with the same size wrap that I want with me for the FCC
DHC’s shorter cousin the Reinforced Rear Rebozo Rucksack (RRRR) because it’s even faster and simpler than DHC with the same sturdiness and a great high back carry for hot weather since it can be done with 3 meters

And I think maybe I’ll play with some hip carries today and keep you posted!

Cleaning House While Wearing Baby

Saturday my mom took Ada to spend the night with her, and David and Annabelle and I cleaned the living room. It was so nice to just dedicate myself to cleaning for an hour or so, without distractions or interruptions and it was VERY nice to have a clean living room. I’ve been taking pains all week to keep it nice because I think we’re all happier when our space looks lovely.

Wrapping Belle meant that I wasn’t interrupted by a baby needing to be picked up. Wrapping her on my back meant that I was even able to lean over the washing machine, and there was no bundle in front of me to interfere with sweeping! It also meant that Belle was a happy baby, cuddled up to her momma. Having just nursed, she happily went to sleep and my body movements kept her asleep for the duration. Lucky kid woke up to find all of the work finished!
