  • Why We Wear #2

    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

  • Tried & True: Soft Structured Carriers (SSC)

    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.…

  • International Babywearing Week: My Stash

    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…

  • Babywearing: Knee-to-knee

    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…

  • Tried and True: Moby Wrap

    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…

  • October = Babywearing!

    October 7th-13th is “International Babywearing Week”. This is a time for babywear-ers everywhere to celebrate their babywearing ways while also spreading awareness about babywearing. If anyone knows anything about me – I’m all about babywearing! And I get a lot of questions about carriers, styles and ways of babywearing. So, this month I’ll be writing…

  • [the] Fam’s 5 Faves: Breastfeeding

        This episode of the “Fam’s 5 Faves” is focusing on breastfeeding.  I figured it was a great segue off of last month’s series focusing on Milking It. Here is a break down of our favorites… Nursing Covers My two “go to” covers right now are the Motherhood Nursing Scarf and my Simple by…
