Wearing your baby

On Labor Day weekend we dedicated Tobin (as well as his little cousin Noah). It felt really good to spend some time just focusing on and praying for him. I've posted more about it on the Wolthuis blog if you want to read about it.

Babywearing seems to be a trend that is gaining momentum. It seems I have jumped aboard. Kevin thinks I've gone nuts wanting/trying all these different styles of carriers. The truth is I need to be able to tote Tobin around and I know that that will only increase as we have more children. In the beginning he was so fussy and really just wanted to be held/carried around. The carriers I had and tried made me very sore and tired after more than an hour. I felt that I was on a quest to find the best carrier. I think this one wins. This is my moby wrap, and I love it. I wore him peach picking for an hour and a half and still felt good when I took him off. He fell asleep, so I just pulled the section that goes straight around his back up over his head to give him some support. It feels so nice to have him snuggled up against me! I wish I'd have tried this one first! It is a lot of fabric and takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you can do it pretty fast. It is still nice to have something smaller and simpler that you can pop baby in and out of for only a 10 minute ride if you need to run into a store or something.

I really recommend this to any mama who needs a comfortable way to carry her baby!!
