[The] Fam’s 5 Faves: Babywearing (in the heat) by tararoehl on Polyvore A floppy hat is great for covering baby’s head, especially when they don’t want the hood up! I love my Arctic Chill Towel! I wear it between baby and me. The key to keeping baby cool is to NOT let them get damp! This towel does the trick! […]
Continuing on last Thursday’s post about “Knee-to-Knee“, I wanted to discuss the important of baby’s leg and hip positioning when leg’s out in a carrier. Firstly, the carrier should ALWAYS go “knee-to-knee“. If it does not, it is not adequately supporting your little one’s hips. The ideal position is the “M” position. The blue arrows show Liam’s legs, folded over […]
Because when you have a new baby, they aren’t the only one who’s tired. And it is much safer to have them wrapped to you when you both need a nap. Wrap that baby on, sit in your recliner/glider and rock yourselves to sleep mama. You deserve that nap! ❤ Tara
We are big fans of Soft Structured Carriers in our house. It’s often our go-to carrier. Quick to buckle on, multiple position options, toss it in the wash when it gets grimy … everything a frazzled new mommy needs! I’ve seen a lot of people asking about the differences between a Tula and an Ergo. So I wanted to give […]
For day 1 of International Babywearing Week (but day 7 of our babywearing series here!) I thought I’d offer a “peek” into my “stash”. It isn’t complete – a wrap will be added very soon! But for now, here is where it stands… Moby Wrap Seven Sling Ergo Performance Peanut Shell [vintage] Snugli Balboa Sling Maya Ring Sling Standard Tula […]
Good morning! We are headed to church this morning, but I thought I’d post an addition to your typical Sunday morning comics, courtesy of paxbaby … ❤ Tara

When babywearing, position is REALLY important. Many Soft Structured Carriers (SSCs) come with “infant inserts” that you use until your new bundle of joy is “big enough”. But what exactly is “big enough”? For a legs out position, “big enough” is when the carrier goes “knee-to-knee”. Knee-to-knee is when their legs not only poke out of the carrier, but that […]
The very first wrap I received (as well as used) was my Moby Wrap. Made from a cotton jersey material, it is soft and stretchy. It really cuddles baby and keeps them feeling secure. However, when you first open it, many are overwhlemed by the 5.5 meters (over 18 feet) of cloth. Here is the inside scoop on the Moby: […]
