Safe Baby Wearing


We have seen and heard alot about safe baby wearing in the media these days, this subject is very important to us. We promote Attachment Parenting choices including wearing your children. It's proven to be benefical to you and the babe. lets start with a few reason why babywearing is great;

1. You can feed your baby while still taking care of your needs
2. You can shop, cook, and walk while baby is close and near you
3. Your baby will feel loved and safe at all times while your hands free!
4. Your baby will cry less
5. Your baby gets your view
6. You get to snuggle and interact while your hands free!
7. Baby Wearing is beneficial to your baby's hip development

Safe Baby Wearing and Correct Positioning are Important to us

For Newborns, we do not promote Pouch slings, or Padded ring slings, as well as Soft Shell Buckle Carriers-for extended use. In the toddler Stage, pouches and padded slings are great for hip carries!

We do promote Woven wraps(Storchenwiege) Stretchy Wraps(Moby, Panda) and unpadded Ring Slings(Sewfunky)

For older babies 15lbs and up(general) a Mei Tai(Baby Hawk) or Soft Shelled Buckle Carrier(Boba 2G)(Pipa Pack) as well as the continued use of Woven Wraps and Unpadded Ring Slings, are all great choices.

Having your newborn baby properly positioned on your body is crucial to hip development and digestion to name a few. Baby being in an upright position always facing you(never facing out!) is safest with the frog leg position with feet out of the wrap or sling.
We never promote the cradle position for any age.


We are currently working with our certified expert to bring you up to date and safe information on carrier use. Please stay tuned for the date release of our next baby wearing info session-helping you choose the best carrier for your needs.

Thank-you and snuggle your babies!!
