Lately, it seems like everybody in the babywearing world is talking about the Boba 3g carrier. The new hotness of soft structured carriers is admired for its adjustability and flexibility for babies of all ages and sizes. Plus, it’s stinking gorgeous.

how to breastfeed in a baby carrier
March 12th, 2012 lcbaker 
I love impressing people with my babywearing skills. Even when I’m not feeling the wrap love (and therefore I feel like a wanna-be instead of a super cool hippie mama), at least I can still look cool with the things I can do with a baby carrier. When you casually toss your baby on your [...]
best looking ways to tie a wrap with a newborn
February 27th, 2012 lcbaker 
I’ve written before about how I want to love wrapping my baby. And I’m happy to say, that after a week or two of using my Beco (which I still love! I love, you, Beco!) I’ve gotten back into wrapping. (Apparently I’m going through phases with my carriers just like I do with my diapers. [...]
ten reasons I love my beco carrier
February 13th, 2012 lcbaker 
It makes me sad to admit it, but I seem to have graduated out of my baby-wrapping stage, at least for now. I wish I could get more into wearing my babies in wraps. Wraps look so much cooler than any other carrier, and they make me look like a super-awesome, natural, hippie mama. Wearing [...]

Which just goes to show you that you really don’t need to know how much you’re producing to have a successful breastfeeding relationship. A friend of mine recently wrote a series of posts on her blog [...]
babywearing and elimination communication
October 24th, 2011 lcbaker 
The topic for our DiaperFreeBaby meeting this Friday (where I hope to see you!) is babywearing and elimination communication. I thought this would be fun to talk about, partly because I’ve been thinking about babywearing lately as I anticipate doing it a lot again soon, and partly because even though plenty of people practice EC [...]
seven reasons why baby carriers are good for the environment
August 11th, 2011 lcbaker 1. Many baby carriers have only one ingredient–organic cotton. Those that use more materials in manufacturing usually only involve a few, maybe some metal rings and some plastic buckles. As far as the amount of resources used, they come out ahead of a stroller or car seat any day. Many carriers are also made of [...]

August 10th, 2011 lcbaker I Thought I Knew Mama blog is doing a blog hop today for Wordless Wednesday. Her post was a series of her baby’s life in pictures, which inspired my idea for today: my daughter’s life in pictures–but only in slings.
