Latest in Slings and Carriers
Baby Bjorn goes organic
With all the slings and carriers I've collected over the last five years, we've always kept the Baby Bjorn on regular rotation thanks to its simple, smart style, versatility, and ease of use. Plus, it's the only carrier my husband seems to feel comfortable wearing. Go figure.

Babywearing with utter and complete warmth--for both of you
Allow me to set the scene: It is January in New England, subzero temperatures, and I need to get out of the house with my newborn in a front carrier. I used to routinely wear my husband's coat over the baby, which somehow managed to both be too big and too drafty, all at once. Also, I looked enormous.

Babywearing twins. Yes indeedy.
My hat's off to all moms of twins--double the gear, double the
diapers, double the feedings. And not being able to wear both babies at once? That seems the most daunting prospect of all to me, since babywearing has saved my sanity with all three kids.

The Belle Baby Carrier - You Can't Go Wrong With Denim
My husband is totally willing to wear the baby, so long as it doesn't require a mei tai (too many straps) or a sling (too uncomfy on his bad shoulder). That basically leaves him with our Belle Baby Carrier which now comes in a gender-neutral denim.

Breathing New Life Into That Old Bjorn
Thanks to Cool Mom Picks, I've expanded my babywearing horizons to include wraps and slings, but I can never abandon my beloved Swedish front carrier standby, no matter how much drool coats its surface. However thanks to My Little Roo, I can dress up my old standby in some new duds.

Slings for the Fashionably Erudite
Regular CMP readers know that Kristen has described bibs as "outfit
spoilers." I feel the same way about baby carriers. (Plus I've always felt they stop me from showing off my postpartum
cleavage.)

Summer Sling
The SolarVeil sling from Mamma's Milk has taken up permanent
residence in my pool bag, right next to the sunscreen. Because my baby boy has that pale porcelain skin
that absolutely must be shielded from the sun, but with two older kiddos
who adore the pool (okay, I do too), staying inside all summer is
not a reasonable option.

The Best Mother's Day Gift of All Time: Time Itself
Really want to make a new mom's day next Sunday? Forget flowers and perfume - just try taking that baby off her hands for more than a minute.

An Organic Carrier With the Soul of a Backpack
Back when I was carrying my babies around, if you wanted an earth-friendly choice you could've gotten a really ugly hemp sling. If you wanted something earth-friendly in a structured carrier, well, you were completely out of luck.

Baby Slings With a Backstory
I'm all for babywearing, and not just because it keeps my baby secure and happy. Frankly, I'm more selfish than that, and slinging my baby frees up my hands so that I can do other things.

The Sweat-Free, Hands-Free Baby Wrap
Being able to use both hands while still holding my infant securely? That's pure genius no matter how much granola people think you eat.
