Last night Barefoot Birth hosted a Night of Babywearing at the Labor of Love birth center in Lakeland, Florida. I was late, and missed the other carriers being played with, but I brought my big basket of wraps for everyone to play with and Annabelle helped me show the people what we do with them. [...]
I look forward to this group all week, then I drag my heels about leaving and have to apologize to Grammy who ends up watching my 5 year old for FOUR HOURS while she’s trying to work–yikes! Yesterday Anna and 2 week old Naomi came to tell their birth story. There is so much to [...]

This post is just for Dannette, who wants to know how to wrap up her two year old. First, I recommend a back carry. By this age it gets unwieldy to wear them on the front and a back carry is more comfortable than a hip carry. If your son is going to want to [...]
It became official on Thursday when I was at Busch Gardens with my girls. Annabelle was wrapped on my back in a rucksack, and I was chasing Ada from attraction to attraction when a babywearing mom ran to catch up with me and tell me that, “I told my husband it was the woman from [...]
Sometimes when I’m showing someone how to adjust the wrap behind them, I run into this problem that they simply cannot reach as well as I can. So I had to learn a new way to wrap up a little baby in a high back carry. A way to do it without reaching high up [...]
I just used my 3.5 Neobulle Simon to put my five week old baby up in a high rucksack carry. I love it! The extra width of the Neobulle wrap made it real easy to get a good pocket under Annabelle, with plenty of width left to make a nice support behind her head. I’m [...]
