When Jillian Davidsson started PAXbaby when her 4th baby was about to turn 1, she had a vision of being able to help babywearing parents across the USA find their PERFECT baby carrier! At PAXbaby, you will find only the best of the best baby carriers available, not ALL the baby carriers, but the BEST! Being a green family, baby carriers get extra points around here for being made in the USA, or being organic, or being made by a WAHM! But it is the PAXbaby promise that we do not sell baby carriers just because they are available to sell. We BELIEVE in every one of our brands, companies, and products being sold at PAXbaby by our local baby carrier expert, Jillian.

I personally cannot get that Bara Barn Salt and Pepper ring sling off of my mind.

Classy, hip and the ultimate neutral this sling goes with you wherever you need to go!

Which one catches your eye?

Cornflower,

Lotus Blossom,

Mint,

Salt and Pepper,

Pistachio,

or

Salsa?


Whichever one you choose is guaranteed to make a lasting impression whether you are a seasoned veteran, or wrapping for the very first time.

Both affordable and stylish, Bara Barn is on our must-have list for Summer.

PAXmommy Brianna at WIC

Posted on by

paxbaby

Q:  Soo PAXmommy B, you went somewhere pretty special the other day, can you tell me where you went?

PAXmommy Brianna: I went to the San Diego American Red Cross WIC office to start a carrier lending library for local breastfeeding moms who receive WIC assistance.

Q: Can you tell me a little about WIC, what does it stand for?

 PAXmommy Brianna: WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children, and is a program that offers supplemental food vouchers, nutrition counseling, and FREE breastfeeding assistance and support for low income mothers and their children.

Q:  I heard that Boba donated wraps, and carriers for this cause? Can you tell me what they will be used for? And how many?? WOW, three cheers for Boba!

PAXmommy Brianna: Yes! PAXbaby loves to help whenever we can, and Boba generously matches our donations, carrier for carrier, which doubles the number of families we can spread the babywearing love to! We donated 20 Boba Wraps and Boba Carriers to get them started, and are working to get them additional carriers, too! These carriers will be available for breastfeeding moms who receive WIC to check out from the office on University Ave in San Diego, and we hope to extend the library to other local offices, as well!

Q:  I love that you are such an awesome advocate for breast feeding and babywearing. How did you get involved with WIC?

PAXmommy Brianna: Awww, thanks! Breastfeeding and babywearing are SO, SO important to me, and WIC is an organization that’s close to my heart. We received WIC assistance during and after my pregnancy with Baby #1, when my partner and I both lost our jobs. The breastfeeding counselors were tremendously helpful, and got me a hospital grade breast pump to use when I needed to exclusively pump for a time. I’m really thrilled to be able to give back to an organization that helped me in a time of need.

Q: How can I donate to this cause?

PAXmommy Brianna:  Stay tuned for further info, because PAXbaby is working on ways to bring this program to WIC offices around the country! For now, if you’re in southern California, or live elsewhere, but would like to mail a new or used carrier to donate, email me at help@paxbaby.com!

 

PAXmommy Brianna will continue to  support WIC, by giving back and volunteering her time, to help mothers there learn about the benefits of babywearing and breastfeeding.

Babywearing Around the World

Posted on by

paxbaby

For as long as there have been babies, there has been babywearing.

No matter where you are from in the world, you are guaranteed to see a mother (or father, sibling, grandparent, friend) and a child together in this way.

Part of Angela’s portfolio, these beautiful images were taken by this amazing American woman, who lived, and traveled for many years around the world:

http://travelschug.wordpress.com/

Unlike many of us, Angela had not been exposed to babywearing in America and first discovered it during her years spent living in Africa.  Even though she was not a mommy yet herself, what she observed from these African women, forever changed her life.

“It was almost tangible the connection that young kids had to their mothers, after being carried around the clock for the first two years of life. Watching those bonds develop, both through babywearing and breastfeeding (for nourishment, comfort, soothing, anytime!) absolutely shaped the mother that I would become nearly 10 years later. “

She arrived in Africa fully prepared to help others, unprepared at just how greatly Africa and the African people would change her.

Throughout her travels, time and time again, Angela would see how babywearing was not just a fashion statement or a trend but, a way of life.

The above photos are from Angela’s trip to Guatemala.

This is what we were born to do.
Keeping our babies close, for survival, for bonding, for love.

A big THANK YOU to Angela for sharing her beautiful photos and her journey with us.

Hot weather = Bali Breeze

Posted on by

Paxbaby.com

paxbaby

Since Summer is juuuuuust around the corner, the same question keeps popping up,

“What is the best wrap for HOT weather?”

Well, while we do say that any carrier can be used in hot weather such as a shorty, or a wrap conversion ring sling, we LOVE this cotton gauze hybrid.

The Wrapsody: The Wraparound Baby Carrier Bali Breeze is a hybrid wrap designed for hot weather, ideal for wearing at the beach, or even splashing IN the water.

PAXfans will be super excited about all of the new, adorable prints available  here at PAXbaby.com :

**Please note the new sizing, and a big thank you to Julie for her adorable babywearing action picture (wrap pictured is Presley)!**

A Mother’s Arms Are Made Of…

Happy Mother’s Day EVE.

Will you be babywearing tomorrow?
Do you have something special planned for your own mama?

Do you have any Mother’s Day traditions?

We do.

I love taking my mama to the beach each Mother’s Day. We have been doing this since before my kids were born, but now that they are here, we love all going together.  It is so fun, and I love teaching them the importance of making someone you love feel special.

I hope each and every one of you feels loved and special every day in some little way.

WE <3 YOU!
