Hi Kendra,
thanks for responding. Yes, I was aware of the International BW week and even had an interview with a member of BW International in Radio Familia Libre (Spanish only). This is the link in case you want to take a look:

Have you tried how confortable a bedseet could be? Check the last link of this page for the Ecuadorian Way http://english.familialibre.com/parenting-resources/baby-sling-instructions

I just found your site! Did you know that this week is International Babywearing Week? I love wearing my son, even though he’s getting really heavy at this point. I fell in love with it once I first wore him in a wrap. I had tried an uncomfortable carrier with my oldest son, but once I tried the wrap I was hooked. It was just so fantastic to be able to wear him and be so comfortable at the same time.

Nice to have your around, Mon.

Your baby will love being carried on your back. They get to see more of the world and sometimes grab something otherwise unreachable.

I see it as a natural step towards independence.

Hola Monica,

I just discovered your website. You have some great articles here and a lovely philosophy behind your drive.

I fell in love with babywearing by accident. I saw it on a website somewhere and then recalled my travels in South Amerca and all the carried babies. And very importantly, how content they appeared and how practical it was.
I have loved wearing my baby. She’s starting to wriggle a lot now and likes her own space, but I still wear her for walks. I’ll be looking to change her to a back carry soon.
