I am 27 years old and currently
live in
Northern California, in the San Francisco/Sacramento area. Our little girl, Marissa, was born in February
2003. We practice attachment parenting, cloth diaper and are avid
babywearers. Marissa has been worn by both her mommy and daddy,
as
well as her grandparents since she was very little. As she grew,
I found the structured baby carriers to be uncomfortable on my
shoulders. I tried different slings and found that none were any
more comfortable than the carrier we already had. Finally, I
designed my own sling. By this time, Marissa was already over a
year old, and around 25 pounds. I carried her in the
sling for hours. Now that she is much bigger, we generally use a Wrap or Mei Tai, both of which work great, with our 32 pound little girl. I also made one for her dad, who enjoys wearing his baby
when he is around the house. We love to try new things and have recently begun to distribut our favorite Mei Tai, the FreeHand Mei Tai. We are also getting ready to offer hand-painted wraps, so keep your eye out or e-mail us if you are interested. |
I
am
29 years old and live in San Diego, Ca. My daughter Sabrina, was
born in Jan 2003. She was a difficult nurser and after using
Jacqui's sling, I wished that I had known about slings when I was
nursing. The sling made shopping much more convenient
with a toddler, as when she gets tired, I just place her in the sling
instead of having to haul around the stroller. I now have another little girl Kaitlyn born in Sept 2005 without placing her in a carrier, I would not be able to go out by myself with both girls. I use all three carriers (sling, wrap, and mei tai) depending on my mood, and can nurse comfortably in all three. Taking both girls to the park, zoo or shopping is a cinch. |
