When I see someone wearing their baby in this town, it’s usually in an Ergo. With Pooky, I had an organic denim Ergo and, as she grew out of the newborn stage, it was definitely our go-to carrier because it was so convenient, supportive, and sturdy. Once I was able to do back carries with [...]

We reviewed an older version of the Beco a while back and, since then, this baby carrier has gone through a number of different changes to arrive at the most current version known as the Beco Butterfly 2. I’ve been searching for a carrier with the convenience of buckles and ability to carry both a [...]

The folks at Rockin’ Baby sure know how to create hip and stylish baby carriers. The fabrics they use for their ring slings and pouches are to die for! I’m not sure if you’ll find more beautiful fabric combinations anywhere else. This is probably one of the reasons why celebrities like Gwen Stefani make sure [...]

I don’t “wear” Pooky as often these days as I used to when she was less mobile. There are still times, though, when she wants me to carry her while I’m trying to get things done around the house or when she has trouble going down for a nap, and those are the times [...]

Pooky’s been sick a lot since starting daycare a month ago. She caught her first cold two weeks in, and we’re now battling with a second cold. It hasn’t been fun. She wants to be held a lot when she’s sick, especially in the late afternoons and evenings when she’s feeling worse. I’m so [...]

Comfy Joey pouches are some of the fanciest baby pouch carriers out there. They’re thin, lightweight, and fold up super tiny.

If you’re really wanting to impress, their Hunur line is made [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve used a pouch carrier. When this Slinglings carrier arrived in the mail, I was excited to try it out now that Pooky is big enough for a hip carry. I’ve been wanting a carrier that’s small enough to pack in my handbag and convenient enough to easily get her [...]

Babywearing is all the rage with celebrities these days. Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, Brooke Shields – they’re all wearing their babes. I delved into the world of babywearing soon after Pooky was born (and not because of the celebs’ influence). It wasn’t a foreign concept to me. I grew up in a culture where babywearing [...]
