Monday came and went and was SUCH a moving day for all.

The event was hosted by Network Medical, a pregnancy care center, with many young moms in need!!!
Boba so generously matched PAXbaby.com’s donation, and this class was to demonstrate for the moms, and to also teach the “in house” nurse, how to use the Boba stretchy wrap as well as the Boba Air.
PAXmommy Jillian taught the new moms about proper ergonomic positioning, such as the ‘M’ positioning, as well as the benefits of babywearing for both mother and infant.
Not only was she able to teach these important babywearing skills, but PAXmommy Jillian also talked one-on-one with some of the moms about sensitive issues such as C-sections, birth and breastfeeding.

These 20 carriers will be given to moms who want to wear their babies but until now haven’t had the resource or guidance!
What an amazing experience.
THANK YOU for all YOUR help; through donations made at PAXbaby.com’s 5th birthday party last Fall, we were able to make this opportunity happen for these sweet moms.
je porte mon bebe, or JPMBB as they are known as, are the creators of an awesome new hybrid super wrap from France.
Translated to mean “I carry my baby”.
Intrigued yet??

These wraps are unlike most stretchy wraps on the market today, and are so supportive without being saggy or overly stretchy.
The JPMBB wrap is one of the only stretchy wraps that stretches in every direction: vertically, horizontally and diagonally giving you all around support and comfort.

The JPMBB can be used from birth until 30lbs (14kg), and can be used on your front, side and back.
Yes, you read correctly… this wrap can be used on your back.
The wrap itself is 5m long and 70cm wide, and made of a deliciously soft 95% cotton and 5% spandex and comes in a variety of beautiful shades and colors.
Which color would you choose??
Or… which colors?!?!?
Would you not love to wrap a squish in one of these soft and beautiful wraps!?
Like a woven wrap, the same “legs out” positioning is required, though you do not need to leave any slack when tying the wrap on like you do with a woven wrap.
Simply tie the JMPBB wrap on tightly, like the video shows, and place baby inside using proper ergonomic technique.
Ta-da!!
Support like a woven, with a softness that is only second to your favorite t-shirt.
Winning combination if you ask me.
That is another great thing about this wrap, you can pre-tie it before you even need it, so no worry about dragging tails through a dirty parking lot or mall floor.
Saying “congratulations” to a new mother = sweet!
Introducing her to babywearing = PRICELESS!
Have you introduced anyone to babywearing?
Were they receptive?
Who was the first one to show you the wraps… er ropes?
Was it love at first wear, or did it take you awhile?
I first started with a home made ring sling with my baby #1, then transitioned to a SSC, then dove head first into the wrap world… the rest is history my friends!!

Bet you didn’t know that one of the most well known European wrap companies also makes a Wrap Conversion Mei Tai!
Babylonia, parent company of the BB Slen and the Tricotti, has designed a simple, yet highly functional mei tai manufactured in Europe with woven wrap components keeping the style sleek, compact, and multi purpose!
Front carry, hip carry, back carry, infant carry, toddler carry, high carry, low carry : you name it, the BB Tai can do it!

BB Tai – Lotus Blue

The BB Tai packs a lot of bang for your buck, and weighs in at under $100 making them one of the best priced carriers on the market.
Seriously.
Mei tais are a great, lightweight option for babywearing on the run. Roll it up and store it anywhere you are: the back seat, diaper bag or purse, backpack, suitcase, parent’s house, trunk of the car. They are stylish, easy to use and comfortable not only for YOU but for your little traveler.
A mei tai is everything you need and want out of a wrap, but in a more compact and “user-friendly” package.

The body of the Mei Tai is a generous 18 inches wide and 15 inches tall, and the slide up headrest adds another 5 inches of height & support to last you and your little one well into the toddler years. Each waist strap in 30 inches long, allowing for accommodation of a wide variety of body sizes and shapes.
I love stashing my mei tai in our car, for quick uppies while out and about, in fact, ours will be used today for a chilly walk at the beach. Brrrrr.
