Not only does belly wrapping look beautiful, but it helps support heavy bellies and sore hips.

The post WCRS belly wrapping! appeared first on PAXbaby.

It is with an overflowing heart and joyful song that I am writing this blog post! As each of my babies has been born and grows so quickly into a small person, I wonder, “Is this my last baby? Will this be the last time I experience the wonderment of birth, the satisfaction of bringing new life into the world, and the plethora of firsts that come along with a new soul here on earth?!?!” After #babycate was born, 28 months ago, I felt a deep sadness that I talked of frequently; I tried to assuage my depression with the thought “I can’t wait to see who you become.” And after time, I was able to focus more and more positively on that mantra. As much as I wanted to be pregnant again, to hold my own newborn in my arms again, to watch another of my own babies grow and thrive and flourish under my constant care, I understood that if Cate were truly my last, I could be content with my seven amazing children. What else could I possibly want? Last week, that question was answered. Just One More Baby.

PAXbaby.com
I have learned so much about mourning and grieving the children I currently mother every day all day. All the reasons I should not and will not again fall down that rabbit hole of sadness. This pregnancy and birth and baby may absolutely be my LAST, but I will rejoice at each milestone, at each inch grown, and at each step taken! I will not again allow myself to be tortured by the might, probably and maybes that sneak into my head. This could absolutely be the last baby I carry in my womb and birth from my own strength, but that is okay! Because I trust that everything that might and could happen, will. That everything that is supposed and predestined, will. That nothing is an accident. That there is a reason for everything. And this, Baby #8 aka #JustOneMoreBabyD, is the absolute consequence in trusting, believing, and allowing life to happen as it should.

Do you have a legacy wrap for your little one? One that holds many special memories and that you will keep forever and ever??

Sometimes legacy wraps are wraps that you fall in love with, sometimes legacy wraps are wraps or carriers that were released on your little one’s birthday, or sometimes it is your child that does the choosing. PAXmommy Jillian’s Baby #6, Declan’s legacy wrap is the stunning, and vibrant Double Rainbow, whereas Baby #7, #babycate has a few different ones, including the Natibaby Valentina pictured above!

We would love to hear about YOUR special carriers!

Disneyland is not usually a romantic spot to visit, but when this cowgirl saw her space ranger from across the crowded theme park, she popped her wee cowbaby on her back in her Tula and off they went, dashing through California Disney Adventure straight for the man of her dreams! He offered to kiss her hand and offered to show her the wonders of the galaxy, she smooched his cheek and said YES; it was a moment to remember, thankfully caught on camera by our own PAXtographer and also a Disney cast member!

I chose to push off the inevitable heartbreak and enjoy my baby’s breastfeeding relationship with no strings attached; morning, noon, or night, #babycate’s milk was available to her 24/7 which was a very enjoyable situation for both of us. Now at 2 years old, my sleep deprivation is catching up to me, she is irritable if I ask her to just cuddle me at night without a nipple in her mouth, and oh… my poor stretched saggy nipples deserve a break for at least a few hours a night to recharge and recover! Armed with the advice of an entire colony of mothers who have gone before me, and Dr. Jay Gordon’s blog post on night weaning committed practically to memory, I write on my calendar “NIGHT WEANING” and mark off an entire week during which I have prepared my family that both the baby & I will be emotional, exhausted, and potentially unable to do anything other breastfeed every moment of the day to make up for our rough night times! Sunday night comes, and off we go….

First up, I “front loaded” the information that #babycate would not be nursing at night, and we read the book, Sally Weans from Night Nursing, early in the day. I made sure that she ate her favorite foods at dinner to fill her up, and my older kids played with her extra exuberantly to tire her out. Bedtime rolls around, big sister Lucy helps me with her usual routine : potty, pajamas, 2 books, final breastfeeding and toothbrushing. My sweet baby goes to sleep easily with her sister breathing gently into her hair, and I take a shower and prepare for the emotional rollercoaster and guiltfest I know is coming around the bend.

2 short hours later, the familiar wail begins and I go in to comfort her. While I am confident that #babycate is completely able to comprehend the meaning of my words, “milkies when the sun comes back up!” and “no milkies right now while it’s still dark out,” her despondent stare at my treacherous chest is too much to bear. I know that her sobs right now are out of frustration, anger and sadness that I am not meeting her previously scheduled needs but it’s important that I remember that she is not hungry, just grumpy! For 24 months her favorite snack has nourished her little body, nursed her back to health after a cold, and soothed her when teething. Her milkies have dried her tears, comforted her to sleep, and distracted her when scared! This baby has never had the chance to attach to a lovey or figured out how to self soothe since I have always been readily available to her, but tonight is a game changer. #babycate is a smart cookie and figures that if she cries enough, her mama will give in to her desires; we can nurse and go back to sleep like old times. Sadly, Saturday night was her last nurse-on-demand, all you can eat milk buffet, and tonight, after 43 minutes of countless rounds of her favorite song, and many tears from both of us, #babycate is asleep in my ring sling, giving soft little sighs and shudders every so often; I’m feeling spent and devastated.

Her next wake up, I fear, will be even worse than this, but hopefully the full day of snuggles I can give her in the morning will make it up to her! According to Dr Gordon, she’s going to have a rough week, but with consistency and a strength I need to pull from knowing each of you are rooting for our continued breastfeeding success, we will night wean with flying colors and go on to enjoy bed sharing and day time nursing for many months to come!
Wish us luck!

Full Moon Mothering is a delightful amber necklace maker from Canada that PAXmommy Melly discovered and, as it turns out, Kami has been a long time PAXfan and babywearer as well! We are proud to offer two styles of necklaces, both equally lovely! Our PAXexclusive, All Day Rainbow, features brightly colored beads interspersed with real amber beads while the Full Moon Mothering necklace has a beautiful ROYGBIV center gradient and amber on each end. You will love the delicate purple hanging teardrop that is centered on the adult necklaces to set these necklaces apart from any other we have ever had at PAXbaby.com.

Time for another happy Free Friday at PAXbaby.com!!

Is there anything better than a wonderfully natural Healing Balm that you can use anywhere and for anything? Yes, if it is made by PAXbaby and has a rainbow on the lid, of course! I have been using this balm on all the kids’ bumps & bruises, on #babycate‘s owies, and on my face at night as a moisturizer! This is the good stuff : homemade, GMO free as well as hexane free! Particles that you may see in the balm are from the herbs that the grapeseed oil has been infused with, and the oils have been cold or expeller pressed (no chemical solvents were used in the extraction process!) The net weight of the balm is 1.5 ounce, and worth its weight in gold!

Want to get some of your own?!?

As hard as I ignored the facts, as far as I stuck my head in the sand, as loudly as I sang to drown out the truth, I couldn’t stop the inevitable from happening… #babycate turned TWENTY MONTHS this week. But as I look at her and see the amazing child she is becoming, the spirited toddler she is, and the cuddly baby she still is, I am filled with overwhelming gratitude for these past twenty months getting to know my Cate! Every day seems like a gift when life is viewed through her eyes; every funny bug and beautiful flower is worth a stop and a conversation when you live like Cate. She forces me with to slow down, calm down, and pay attention to what’s really important! View the world through your child’s eyes and see how wondrous the world can be!!!
