PAXBaby and COTW

PAXmommy Mel — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:26:40 +0000

paxbaby.com

Does your local babywearing group have a ‘Carry of the Week’, also known as a COTW??

Did you know that the PAXmommies have one?

A COTW is the perfect way to challenge yourself as a babywearer and try new things. It is SO easy to get stuck in a babywearing rut sometimes, and just use the same carry, and the same wrap. There are multiple carries, multiple sized wraps, and SO many ways to wear your baby.

Ask your babywearing leader about implementing a COTW at your next meet up!

One thing that is extremely important to remember, is to make sure that you always, always get the basics down BEFORE attempting any complex carries, and always try a new carry with a spotter, and/or over a soft surface.

The above photo is PAXmommy Jillian in a BB Slen Pineapple doing a Short cross carry with a sling ring.

Awesome carry for a short wrap!

What are YOUR favorite carries?

Experiment, and challenge each other!

Be safe, and have fun!

BB Slen arrival

PAXmommy Jillian — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 11:34:26 +0000

PAXbaby.com

With the new arrival of my BB Slen order, I revel in all the colors and patterns of these gorgeous wraps! Straight from Europe, the BB Slen woven wrap is the easiest for new babywearers to get the hang of thanks to the grippy texture of the fabric! Most moms wear a 460/490 for all the various carries, but for those quick shorty wraps, choose a 260, and for XL babywearers, the 560 will be the best length for your needs! Not a wrapper, but loving the colors, no worries! Choose your favorite BB Slen colorway to convert into a Ring Sling, meh dai, Half Buckle, or Soft Structured Carrier! To be specific, I’m talking about the lovely wrap conversions by Sleeping Baby Productionsand Bamberoo!!!! Too many options to make up your mind? Contact me to help narrow down your options and finalize your order! Wrap, sling, or tie, there is a carrier for you!

Wrapping up!

PAXmommy Jillian — Tue, 18 May 2010 07:56:55 +0000

I admit that I am not a natural wrapper… my arms have trouble doing what I tell them to do especially when it involves keeping a looong piece of cloth smooth, wrinkle free. You know that quote about Ginger Rogers doing everything Fred Astaire did – but backwards!?! I fee like I can Fred Astaire my way through a front wrap, but when it comes to Ginger Roger-ing a baby onto my back with a wrap quickly and efficiently, forget it! I reach for my Soft Structured Carriers or my meh dais, throw the kid on my back and off we go! Speed is also a key factor to my babywearing success, since I am usually tossing Baby #5 onto my back in order to catch a gleeful and nekkid #4 hightailing it down the street… “Get it on quick” is usually how we roll, however, when Baby and I are feeling more patient, we wrap!

The first hardest part about wrapping to me is deciding which one to choose! Do I pick the one that matches my outfit? Or the one that highlights Baby’s gorgeous blue eyes? Or maybe it depends on the weather! Wearing a heavy wrap on a hot day sounds like babywearing torture, but on a chilly day, a woven sounds just perfect! When #5 was an infant, there was nothing more heavenly than using our stretchy wraps, but now that he is a hefty 25 pound ham with legs, support is the key issue so even a gauze wrap needs to be tied tightly and expertly to keep us both comfortable.

Once I’ve chosen our wrap for the day (who am I kidding! I change baby carriers during the day as often as your daughter changes her fashion doll!) the question is which wrapping technique to use. One sounds stranger than the next, and if you didn’t know I was talking about baby carriers, you might think I was speaking in great detail about an exotic style of massage: Wiggleproof Back Carry, Swedish Tibetan Tie, Front Cross Carry Cradle, Buddha, Sumo, Jordan’s Reinforced-Rear Rebozo Rucksack… They all have their purpose and their time, but how is one, underslept, overworked mommy to 5 supposed to choose? So I usually just go with my standard back carry, the Back Wrap Cross Carry with Rucksack Straps and Tibetan tie.

The third and final tough decision to make is that Baby #5 is securely on my back, children have been rounded up (and clothed – AGAIN), the picnic is packed, do I take baby back out of the wrap to get in the car and drive to a park for lunch or walk to our local park and keep that baby tied up? Only time will tell for today’s adventure! If you see a calm peaceful group of sweet young children and a serene mother with a baby wrapped on her back at the park, that’s NOT us! We’re the boisterous high pitched giggling cluster of little kids and their mom who more often than not is swinging, climbing, racing, and cavorting along with the young’uns, all the while with baby happy and babyworn, whether in a gorgeous wrap, fabulous Mai Tei, or quick ‘n easy Soft Structured Carrier!

And now, just a few more in action shots of our favorite wraps!

The BB Slen Blueberry longie – no wrap stash is complete without at least 1 BB Slen (Fair Trade manufacturing, grippy but so soft, no breaking in necessary for this woven wrap!)

The BB Slen Turkish Delight – it’s this simple: You NEED one!

The stretchy Moby wrap – A stretchy wrap should be handed out at the hospital to new parents! It is the ultimate BEST baby shower gift, and every mom should have at least 1 to wrap their squishy newborn!

And a personal favorite, the Gypsymama wraps – some are gauze, and some are stretch, but you have got to try 1 for the summer!

PAXbaby favorite baby carriers!

PAXmommy Jillian — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 12:16:41 +0000

And I don’t mean the Baby Bjorn, mamas! I’m talking about ergonomically comfortable baby carriers that enable you to be hands free while wearing your baby! These carriers usually are so wonderful, that you will become addicted to the world of babywearing, and your baby will forever thank you for your decision to look outside the BRU box and grab a:
Sakura Bloom ring sling – swanky but utterly comfortable ring sling available in linen, silk, or a combination of both!

Hotslings AP Pouch – the adjustable pouch that fits a large range of body sizes but is as easy as THAT to use!

Moby Wrap – extremely comfortable stretchy wrap ideal for newborns through 15-18 pounds. Once your baby grows that heavy, the stretchy fabric is too stretchy and you will need to upgrade to a carrier designed for heavier babies.

Babyhawk meh dai – Asian inspired carrier with a body and 4 straps. Can be intimidating to start, but can be the most comfortable carrier in the bunch!

BB Slen – A woven wrap made under fair trade conditions that is “grippy” enough to be easy to use even for beginner wrappers!

Beco Butterfly II – My personal favorite Soft Structured Carrier, meaning that the straps buckle instead of wrap or tie. Great for moms, dads, toddlers, or newborns. The infant insert is included but removable and the integrated seat means that even new moms and inexperienced babywearers can get their baby on their back like a backpack easily and comfortably!

Other favorite brands are Gypsymama wraps, Oh Snap! SSCs, and Olives & Applesauce SSC!

Step out of your comfort zone, say NO to commercially manufactured brands like Bjorn and Evenflo, and get yourself a REAL baby carrier! You and baby deserve it!
