Babywearing in Action

Babywearing is useful for so many more things than just going for walks or getting housework done.

Onbus now in stock

This carrier is soooo pretty. It’s even better in person. And look! I’m still in my pajamas, and posed in my picturesque backyard, right in front of our mess of pool floating devices, and further back you can see our tent drying off from a recent rainy weekend.
Anyway, I have restocked Onbus. I have only [...]

All About: Ring Slings

Wallypop Ring Slings
A bit about ring slings in general.
Ring slings are often thought of as a pefect beginning carrier, easy to use, etc. While I wouldn’t say that ring slings are HARD to use, they do have a learning curve, and some people just simply don’t get them. I can honestly say that I’ve seen [...]

We don’t need special jackets!

Out for a walk on a breezy, chilly day.

More babywearing while building pictures

and I promise a return to the All About series in a week or so.
She was NOT asleep, which is bizarrely why I’m holding her head. If she were asleep, I could’ve tucked it into the wrap, but she was awake and having NOTHING to do with that. But every time I leaned over [...]

Narrow Body Podegi

I made myself a narrow body Pod while I was pregnant. The body’s only about 20 or so inches wide, but as long as my usual podegi pattern. The straps are more wrap-like, they’re very wide, and they’re made of twill.

I’m not sure yet what I think of it. Some people at The Babywearer have [...]

Babywearing and Construction

Thought I’d share a few pictures of wearing Genna while constructing our chicken coop. Genna was fussy and tired and just wanted to be held, but I needed to work on the coop while it was still light out, so the MT really saved the day.
Note, doing construction with a baby on your front is [...]

Somebody Asked… about weight limits

This is a question I get all the time and, like most questions regarding diapering and babywearing, I feel like I’m dodging the answer when giving my most honest and complete response.
How long can I carry a child in this carrier?
Whether you are asking in terms of how old of a child you can carry, [...]

Nursing in the MT

This is how it looks when you nurse in a MT. Just untie, lower the baby so her mouth is at the right height, latch her on, and you can usually let go. You can tell what I’m doing, but you can’t see the details. If I were wearing a nursing shirt, it would be [...]

Pocket diapers coming soon, I promise!!

After finishing up the week’s Made to Orders, I’ve made good progress on finishing up those pocket diapers I promised for earlier in the week. It’s looking like I should be able to get them done either Monday or Tuesday, and listed by the time I go to bed Tuesday, if not earlier. A lot [...]
