I’ve been “thinking about this reptilian baby position on the wearer! The baby is less active in his self body support as his body is not vertical; your baby’s body contacts fully with you.  It’s a beautiful way to {represent} babywearing as The Mother Earth, stimulating your baby reptilian instinct. {This position is} very safe with the mom’s body to relieve the gravity pressure on this baby body. This position is a good solution for hypotonic babies, {because} it automatically helps some babies’ needs with possible bad effects from the gravity influence.”

When you were pregnant, did you wrap your belly with a woven wrap??
Not only does it look beautiful but it ads a little extra support when you need it most!

**listen to your body, and doctor – do not wrap too tightly, or all day.

How do you break in YOUR brand new woven wraps???

What is your “go-to” technique?

Do you make your kids a hammock? Braid your wrap? Sit on it? Throw it in the wash right away and then dry with dryer balls on low-heat? Do you sleep with it? Or… do you just WEAR it??

PAXmommy Shannon runs her wraps through the crib rails!

Not EVERY wrap will need intense breaking in, but sometimes, wraps will arrive a little stiffer out of the package than others and need some loving.

Looking for something to cheer you up on those dreary, gray days of fall and winter? Well, an Easycare Rainbow is JUST what the doctor ordered, I am sure of it. It is hard to be glum when you and your little love are wrapped tightly in a brightly coloured woven rainbow wrap. I dare you to try it

We have had our rainbow wrap for a few months now and are still using it comfortably, even with my 9 month pregnant belly in the way. I must say though, I cannot wait to do some front carries when my little pumpkin gets here in a few weeks (eeek a few weeks). We will have SO much more variety in our carries when I can use my front again. Although this wrap was quite stiff at first, it is breaking in quickly and will definitely be a part of our “perma-stash”. I have heard that the orange weft Easycare is a lot lighter and brighter, and soft right out of the bag. Although this was not the case with the “new” yellow weft, I know that it WILL get that way. When we first pulled it out of the matching wrap bag (super cute btw), it was easy to see why people love this wrap so much. The rainbow colours are bright and vivid with WIIIIDE strips of each colour and… in rainbow order, which you do not see a lot when it comes to wraps. The yellow weft actually gives this wrap a bit of a vintage feel compared to the orange weft that we North Americans are used to. Although this weft change has caused a bit of an uproar in the babywearing community, I really don’t see much of an issue. Same great wrap, just slightly less vibrant than the orange weft. It still wraps the same, and that was my main concern! Plus, who doesn’t love a little vintage in their lives?! I know I do.

In order to start the “break in” process, I threw our wrap right into the wash, dried it, ironed it (actually husband did), let the kids use it as a hammock, and best of all USED it as a “baby pack-pack”.  Fortunately, most Easycare Rainbows are soft right out of the bag, so not much “breaking in” is needed. (PS. the best way to break in any wrap, is to use it and use it a lot!).

Currently our Rainbow is kept beside the front door so we can easily grab it on the way out of the house. My husband even asked me the other day to put “that rainbow thing” on him, which was sweet. Babywearing husbands are the BEST, and ones that will wear Rainbows are even better, in my opinion! So adorable. Cupcake girl even likes to use “baby pack-pack” as a blanket for naps, when this mama actually makes use out of the stroller we have. Shhh.

Easycare wraps are designed and woven in Austria and are made with 100% Oeko-tex cotton which provides a thin, but amazingly supportive wrap. Easycare, the company, is made up of a fantastic mother/daughter team that is focused on producing quality wraps that satisfy both their customers, and their customers babes. As long-time baby-wearers themselves they know exactly what is and isn’t needed out of a baby-carrier…however, also having background in fashion, the wraps they create LOOK beautiful as well which is a bonus for sure. Easycare wraps are perfect from the get-go for use with your newborn and beyond. The great thing about a good quality woven wrap is that there is no weight limit as to how much you can carry, you could literally carry your husband… if you wanted to. That gives me quite the mental picture actually hahaha. If you end up doing that, please post a pic on the  PAXbaby Facebook page as I would loooove to see who you are carrying around in YOUR rainbow.

Wrapping can be intimidating at first, but the more you try, the easier it becomes and the more you will find yourself reaching for your wraps. You will be amazed at how many heads you will turn while out in about in this Rainbow. Nothing like giving your baby the best seat in the house to explore the world around her!

Babywearing is definitely not only for babies.

How old is your wear-ee?

If you wear a big sibling, does the little sibling get jealous?

PAXmommy Jillian was surprised today when Baby #6 chose to WALK today, and Baby #5 wanted “uppys”.  Lucky boy!!

Who are you wearing today??
