If you know me, you know that I frequently have a baby on my back.
That's how we roll - babywearing makes it easier to snuggle with my babies and get things done.
It was a lifesaver about a year ago when the cows got out into the road and we had to get them back in unassisted and I had to go in and out of ditches and open gates and move quickly, oh, yes, and the baby was hungry, too. Babywearing means I could burn calories marching all over chasing cows, while breastfeeding at the same time. ;) What's not to like? Oh, yeah, the cows were out...
Babywearing isn't just for mamas, though. Micah babywears- one of the many things about him that makes me all weak at the knees. ;)
I think a stretchy wrap is the best newborn carrier of my stash. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the incredible comfort is worth the effort. A friend gave me a Moby wrap
for Miriam and I loved it! My second recommendation would be a ring sling. They're great for shorter chunks of time when you don't want to put on the wrap. Plus you can use it well into toddler hood for a hip carry! You can make one (my mom made me my two), or buy one
. I also love our mei tai and podaegi, and want to experiment with woven wraps.

LOVING all the babywearing shots! What a great collection. ♥♥♥
I love all the pictures! Specially baby babywearing!
I also love that you are nursing both toddler and baby!
Thanks, Megan! I had a lot of fun digging back through and picking out my favorites. :) Although that last one of my husband I took last night, because I had been looking through our pictures and realized I didn't have very many of him wearing our daughter. :)
Hi Marcela! Thanks! :) Yes... although I should probably update my bio to say toddler and preschooler, since they're 1 and 2 now. ;) Tandeming was really hard at first but has been so worth it. :)
Naddy,
I love your babywearing photos! I teach natural childbirth classes, and I love to talk about the benefits of babywearing, especially as a way for dads to connect with their children :)
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog... and I saw the one at Making Home, too!
Subscribing to your blog!! :D
Much love from Japan,
Sarah
