It’s been a lovely, busy and amazing 4 years working with PAXmommy Christina! She first asked me about being part of the PAXbaby team on a sunny afternoon while we were watching our baby boys climb clumsily on a local playground. I needed the help so I accepted her invitation gladly, and it’s been non stop fun since! A zillion birthday parties, pedicures, BBQs, new babies, and late night work sessions later, it’s time for us to say goodbye to PAXmommy Christina and let her her spread her wings! She is a doula, Bradley instructor and placenta encapsulator when she’s not being a full time mama to 4 little ones and has touched many with her beautiful presence!

We could go on & on about the benefits of placenta encapsulation : postpartum recovery, natural milk stimulant, added dietary iron, etc!!! The ingestion of one’s placenta has been used by Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, but here in the United States, it is still a relatively new & *shocking* trend! Ask any mother who has compared postpartum experiences with & without the help of her placenta, you will hear glowing reviews!

Happy #IBW2015!!! Babywearers around the world are celebrating this week dedicated to babywearing as a lifestyle, a choice, a necessity, an art, and here at PAXbaby, as a business! Without babywearing, we imagine that our lives would be drastically dull. No rainbows, no fun patterns, no extra snuggle time, and no extra pair of hands exactly when and where we need them! Thanks to babywearing, the PAXmoms can tell you how much easier it is to parent 19 children under 13 years old between us! Thanks to babywearing, the PAXmoms can tell you how to juggle work, cranky babies, and take care of the housework all at the same time! Thanks to babywearing, our children are fed, our husbands are happy, and we have a wonderful sense of accomplishment at the end of each and every day!

Planning a trip to Disneyland this fall? Wondering which carriers to bring, or which rides you’ll be able to enjoy with your little one? We can help you plan! It’s no secret that several of the PAXfamilies are big Disney enthusiasts, and we want to share what we’ve learned over the years as Passholders!

First thing you need to know, is that you can wear your baby on pretty much any ride that doesn’t have a height restriction (**there are a couple of exceptions, which I’ll cover below**). Which means that there is only a very short list of rides that your baby will have to sit out!

–       Autopia (32” minimum height)

–       Gadget’s Go Coaster (35” minimum height)

–       Big Thunder Mountain (40” minimum height)

–       Space Mountain (40” minimum height)

–       Splash Mountain (40” minimum height)

–       Star Tours (40” minimum height)

–       Matterhorn (42” minimum height)

–       Indiana Jones Adventure (46” minimum height)

California Adventure:

–       Luigi’s Flying Tires (32” minimum height)

–       Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree (32” minimum height)

–       Tuck and Roll’s Drive’Em Buggies (36” minimum height)

–       Jumpin’ Jellyfish (40” minimum height)

–       Radiator Springs Racers (40” minimum height)

–       Silly Symphony Swings (40” minimum height)

–       Soarin’ Over California (40” minimum height)

–       Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (40” minimum height)

–       Grizzly River Run (42” minimum height)

–       California Screamin’ (48” minimum height)

There are a couple of rides where the Cast Member might insist that baby be taken out of the carrier and sit down on the seat – Astro Orbiter at Disneyland, and Golden Zephyr and Francis’ Ladybug Boogie at California. Also, Toy Story Midway Mania at California Adventure requires that baby face forward, unless you’re using a buckle carrier, then baby can remain facing in. It depends on the Cast Member, but just be prepared on these specific rides…

If you have older ones who would enjoy some of the attractions on the list above, or if the adults in the party want to ride, be sure to take advantage of Disneyland’s Rider Switch service

Depending on how many kids you have and their ages, you may or may not want to bring a stroller. It’s definitely easier to navigate the crowds without one, and riding the shuttle/tram/monorail is way less complicated if you don’t have to drag a big stroller on board. But on the other hand, a trip to Disneyland with children requires LOTS of stuff, and it’s nice to not have to carry it with you or walk all the way to the lockers at the front of the park every time you need something! I have three kids – 5, 3, and 15 months – so for us, it’s worth it to haul the double stroller around with us.

Now, which baby carrier(s) to bring for the trip? If you have a tiny one who will likely sleep for most of the day, then you want something for maximum comfort, like a woven wrap or a wrap conversion meh dai. They’re breathable, super supportive, and quite comfortable to wear for a long stretch of time. If you have an older baby who will be interested in being able to look around on the attractions, then you need something that is comfy for a lot of walking and standing in lines, but that is also quick and easy to pop baby in and out when you get on/off the ride. A wrap conversion ring sling is a perfect option – it’s cooler and thinner to wear in the heat, the tail makes a great cover for shade or for nursing, and it’s easy to fold up and stow away in a diaper bag or stroller when you’re not using it. A comfy buckle carrier is also fantastic, just be careful not to trip on dangling straps when boarding or exiting an attraction! For a toddler, you might not be carrying them too much in between rides, but a lot of times they can get a little excited and wiggly in long lines, so a buckle carrier is great to have on hand in case they need uppies while you wait I like to bring a variety, so I have options to choose from!

Get your rainbow on in support of PAXmommy Jillian’s upcoming birth!!!
Baby #7 aka #babycate is due November 5, but Jillian has never hit a due date yet!!!

Paint your toes, fingers, or just throw on any rainbow and post a picture on our Facebook wall to boost Jillian’s spirits and remind her that we are all thinking of her & #babycate!!!!

PS – This will be Jillian’s 6th natural birth : 5th homebirth, and 4th waterbirth

Did your friends or family do anything special for you when you were getting close to THAT time?

Isn’t it just so amazing being pregnant so late in the game? The anticipation, the excitement. Thinking that any time could be THE time. You could go to bed one night, and have a baby the next. It is just SO amazing.

What were a few hints your body gave you that it realllllly was THE time.

Good luck, PAXmommy Jillian!!

We all cannot wait to meet Baby Cate.
