Babywearing Resource Page

I simply love babywearing. I own 3 Moby Wraps, a Maya Wrap, a Baby K’tan, a mei tai, a Snuggli, and a couple more tucked away in a closet somewhere.

But every day he gets a little more independent, and every day I see him a little more as a separate person from me. As Dylan grows and starts to develop interests… Keep Reading

Using Me As A Pacifier

“He’s just using you as a pacifier.” What a stupid sentence. I actually heard this from the first pediatrician we went to.
