PAXmommy Jillian and Baby #5 at Disneyland.

Five minutes after this photo was taken he was o.u.t. like a light.

Big kid wearing for the win!!

Do your bigger littles let you wear them still?

Babywearing is a safe, cozy way for even your bigger kids to catch a ride while out and about on a long adventure.

Your toddler or big kid can rest their eyes AND their legs, and still be up high where they can see what is going on, and be tucked up close to mom or dad at the same time.

Where has big kid wearing taken you??

WILD babywearing

Posted on by

PAXbaby.com

It is so interesting to me to watch the evolution of today’s babywearing culture!  A few years ago, there were a handful of known baby carrier brands, and now look at all the choices!!!  Celebrities wear their babies, government officials wear their babies, and regular everyday parents wear their babies!  Babywearing is no longer limited to granola eating, Birkenstock wearing moms, although I give credit to my mom for starting the baby carrier come back in the 80s while wearing long skirts and peasant blouses!  I know that here in Southern California, wearing your baby in a carrier is not only acceptable in mainstream society but also commended by doctors, midwives, and chiropractors!  However, for those of you who are the ONLY babywearers you  have ever seen or met, more BWing power to you! It must be hard to be the ONLY one!

Just like in our world, there are only a few species of animals in the wild who carry their babies! No wonder  the Kangaroo and the Koala are considered to be babywearing mascots!!!!  The thought that those animals have built in slings is just too adorable!!  This onesie from Old Navy seemed especially pertinent for our babyworn little ones!  ”I {heart} hanging out with mom”  Oh too cute!!!

And a shout out to the amazing wildlife we saw while traveling, living, and babywearing in Australia, here is a photograph of a  happy baby carrying koala mama and her little one that my husband spotted as we sped down the freeway (on the left side of course!)  We pulled over to take her picture, and then her baby crawled around from the side to surprise us!

Is it just me, or do memories fade really quickly?  Thank goodness for pictures, or I would have forgotten a lot of the sweet moments of my children’s busy busy life!

These photos are from a great day that my husband and I took our (then only) 3 children to the Butterfly Preserve to see the monarchs!  We had a fabulous time even though we only saw a few butterflies – turns out it was the wrong season, oops!  I can recall now (thanks to the pix) the earthy smell of the eucalyptus trees, the peaceful picnic we had while sitting on stumps, wearing Baby #3 in a Ring Sling, Baby #2′s butterfly shoes, and the great nap all 3 kids had after our “hike!”

The ORIGINAL babywearer

Oh, what would I give to have a pouch built right into my body!  I love that the Kangaroo has a natural baby carrier to protect, bond, and nourish her little one!  Kangaroos are mammals, meaning that they breastfeed their young within their pouch – sound familiar???  You know what they say, 9 in 9 out, and that’s not JUST for baby animals!

Did your little ones ask to see this video of the Tree Kangaroo baby over and over like mine did?

Designed by a fellow native Californian, Marley was brought to life by Maya, a self proclaimed Bob Marley fan who gathered inspiration from a few places….  “I was just getting into skinny stripes as well as rainbows and wanted to see what I could do with tthem! Before it was Marley, it was a bunch of different “rasta rainbows” until I settled on what I thought was the perfect one!  I also used my (now ex) husband as inspiration. I wanted something that was unisex/daddy friendly but not a normal daddy carrier. When I think of daddy carriers, I think of dark solid colors, or stripes/color blocking, but not bright and fun.“   And so, Marley was born, giving a new rocking spin on babywearing!

Babywearing & traveling

Posted on by

PAXbaby.com

2 years today, the PAXbaby family packed our belongings into 11 suitcases, duffelbags, and backpacks, and set off on a 5 month adventure!!!  We took 5 children under 7 millions of miles away to explore New Zealand and Australia, and returned back home to Southern California filled with memories & promises!  We promise we will go back again, we promise we will never forget the gorgeous scenery, the lovely people, the warm welcome we received everywhere we went!  Traveling was fun, exciting, and downright crazy with this many little ones, however we both owe babywearing a HUGE thank you for making traveling as easy as possible with a baby and a busy toddler!  Both the PAXdaddy and I wore our baby carriers pretty much all day every day when we were exploring, whether hiking through rain forests avoiding huge man sized spiderwebs, visiting museums and monuments in major cities, or walking on white sand beaches watching dolphins in the surf!  2 years later, the memories are still vivid: the way the air smelled clean and fresh even in metropolises, the surprise we got when we realized the constellations in the night sky were all different, the unusual habit of everyone – even grown people – to walk barefoot everywhere!  I’ll be posting regularly babywearing pictures from our Down Under experience so we can relive the fun together!
