Our mamas had a great time visiting with Ericka Martinez, designer and creator at
Amazing Alterations and Creations, at a get-together recently. She brought four carriers to demonstrate and
share pros and cons. We all got to
touch/try/feel what we wanted from her selection of a ring sling, a Mei Tai, a
woven wrap, and a soft structured carrier. |

This week (October 8-14, 2012) has been declared
International Babywearing Week by Babywearing International. I am so happy that there is an organized
group “whose mission is to promote
babywearing as a universally accepted practice, with benefits for both child
and caregiver, through education and support.”
Ashley Montagu was an anthropologist who promoted deliberate
maternal care in his article, “Mother’s Touch”, published in the April 1981
issue of Science Digest. |

 There are “gear” lists available at a moment’s notice. Gone are the days of buying a pregnancy
journal or planner…hello, online baby communities. I think it’s easy to get trapped in the
“stuff” you can buy for your baby. And
seriously, a lot of it is so cute!! I
think I want one of everything because all of the patterns are so fun!
So what do you really need for your baby in the first few
weeks? What if you were on a tight
budget and you had to make the hard choices? |
