This post is part of “All About Babywearing” Month

While I was pregnant I researched the crap out of cloth diapers.  Before my baby was born I knew all of the acronyms, how to wash, how to prep, all of the major brands and some of the not so major, the places to find info, etc.

While on that journey I noticed that (more…)

Fresh off of “All About Wool” Week is another big event here on Dirty Diaper Laundry and our sister site Mama Needs This. Who needs a clean house or a social life when there is so much to blog about?!?!

October is all about Babywearing. I am going to be reviewing a lot of carriers including but not limited to: the brand new Boba from Sleepy Wrap, Rockin’ Ring Sling, Cybex 2.GO, Babyhawk, Ergo, and more. Plus look for giveaways! I will also be showing some helpful videos with tips and tricks for using your carrier. We skipped International Babywearing Week and decided to make it a whole month. Plus, it happens to be International Attachment Parenting month, and what is more AP than wearing your baby close to your heart?

Along with all of the amazing cloth diaper products unleashed at ABC Kids Expo, baby carriers were also introducing some very exciting products!

First, the one I am most excited about, the Boba from NAP, the makers of Sleepy Wrap.  Boba is a Soft Structure carrier (SSC) that is intended for toddlers 1-4 years old and around 20 pounds and up. Boba has a few extra inches of height to keep the toddler’s body safe and secure.  The coolest thing about it: there are foot straps attached to the waist belt for the child’s feet to sit in.  This enables a healthy sitting position for the child.  The optimum position for a baby being worn is a frog leg position with the knees close to a ninety degree angle, which is the goal of this carrier.  As long as the child is cooperative, this is a great way to continue babywearing as your baby is heavier and older.  Right now the carrier comes in solid colors and one print, with plans for more prints in the future.  It will retail for around 99 and be shipping sometime in late September.  Want a peek?
