Baby wearing One of our favorite things here at Blueberry Baby is to teach people how to carry, or "wear" their babies.  We gladly offer a lifetime of lessons to every mama, daddy, or grandma who comes into the shop to try out our baby carriers and slings.   From birth to toddler, there is a comfortable way to carry your child, encouraging bonding, communication, and giving you freedom to go about your day knowing baby is close and content.   We offer the Ergo baby carrier, ring slings, pouches (similar to the New Native carrier), and wrap style carriers (Storchenwiege) both new and used in our shop.  In the photo above, Lara is wearing Jonah in a batik ring sling (hip carry), and Betsy is wearing Liliana in  a Storchenwiege wrap (back cross carry improvised).  Both children are around 2 years old and over 25 pounds in this photo, and we are both pregnant with #3 in this picture, too!   Our two older boys have been known to occasionally ask for a ride on mama's back, which we can cheerfully oblige using the wrap style carrier and a back carry similar to the one pictured, or the Ergo baby carrier. (see www.ergobabycarrier.com) We also sell the tummy2tummy DVD, a comprehensive babywearing guide, valuable for everyone from novice babywearer to experienced natural mama. It covers ringslings, wrap style carriers, and pouches and is a worthshile purchase for anyone who wants to wear their baby well. The Ergo carrier comes with its own DVD. For more info on the art of babywearing, please come by the shop for a demonstration or for help in getting the hang of your sling or carrier, or visit mamatoto.org , a wonderful resource with photos and videos of many different babies being worn in various positions and styles of carriers.  Happy baby wearing!
