Little Town
It’s a quiet village, but Belle would love to wander these streets with a dreamy, far-off look and her nose stuck in a book!!! Designed by PAXbaby and created by Smitten, Little Town is a tencel cotton blend. Babywearing is a “tale as old as time,” and it’s time that you join the cosplayers who are enjoying blending their hobbies into one. Cornflower blue and cream invoke images of our own Beauty in her provincial town waiting for her Prince Charming in Chapter Three. Wraps, slings, totes, and scarves are all available NOW at PAXbaby.com!!!!

Little Town was inspired by Jillian from PAXbaby’s love of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Smitten is thrilled to help bring her beloved classic to life in this fantastic silky soft Tencel blend!

What is tencel?

Tencel or lyocell is a sustainable fabric, regenerated from wood cellulose. It is similar in hand to rayon and bamboo. However, Tencel is one of the most environmentally friendly regenerated fabrics. Tencel fibers are grown sustainably and eliminates the negative environmental impacts of traditional fiber processing, using new sustainable technologies.

But what does it feel like?

Quite honestly it feels soft, dang soft. Cannot get enough of this combination of lightweight glidey and ruggedness! The bell blue tencel fiber creates a soft almost glidey feeling which will slide those wrap passes into place with ease! This is a great all around combination for those wanting to use the same carrier for their newborn and 3 year old!

Milk sharing aka wet nursing or cross-nursing is really common among my group of friends! Many of us have nursed each other’s babies, toddlers, and kids out of necessity or even just to boost our little ones’ immune strength! It’s a truly wonderful way to bond with your most cherished friends; my kids now have milk siblings. Their milk mamas have shared the bond of physical closeness as well as the antibodies that comes from one’s own milk. I can’t think of a more perfect way to show love as a mommy friend!

It’s sad but true that for many years, I felt tethered to my babies who were each exclusively breastfeed for almost 12 months. Until I found my community here in Southern California, I couldn’t physically leave my children without a back up feeding source but once I found my village, I allowed myself to leave my young baby in the care of dear friends who would breastfeed her as needed. My plight of not bottle training and yet desperately needing to go on a date with my husband was solved with one simple statement. “Please feed her when she seems hungry!” Suddenly, our options widened, and PAXdaddy and I have enjoyed quite a few dates since the birth of our daughter in 2013 by leaving she and our 6 older children with friends as well as having provided childcare for other friends wanting to escape the clutches of their little milk monster for a few hours!

I myself have been able to feed many of my friends’ babies for a plethora of reasons! I was very proud to put my lactating breasts to work one night when I was a doula at a friend’s birth. She had a trauma shortly after delivering her baby so I nursed her newborn through the night while also taking care of my own sweet 5 month old baby. The next morning I put out a call for help, and an army of mutual friends arrived to help with the new baby and also to keep baby’s tummy full of 100% breastmilk! I still marvel at that amazing week and how a group of women could come together to keep one little baby well nourished, clean, comforted while her mommy was under the weather.

At 32 months old, my daughter, Cate, was still breastfeeding and enjoying the mommy cuddles that it’s hard to find in a large busy family! When our 8th baby, Blaise, was born at just 15 weeks, my milk dried up leaving Cate high and dry. Luckily for her, an entire herd of lactating friends came during the month of May to care for me, my husband, and my children as I recovered from the loss of our beloved baby. She nursed from several mothers over the course of the month and now refers to one of our closest friends as “Mama Milk.” I am so grateful to each and every friend who offered to breastfeed my sweet girl. It means so much to me and made the transition to being a non-lactating mother much easier and less emotional.

At PAXretreat last week, PAXfriend Evonne had a little snuggle time with #toddlerCate. My lovie was over the moon with the fresh milk, and Evonne was happy to fill her little tummy with liquid gold. I cannot wait to have another baby, have my milk come in, and be able to feed someone else’s baby straight from the tap!

I’ve been “thinking about this reptilian baby position on the wearer! The baby is less active in his self body support as his body is not vertical; your baby’s body contacts fully with you.  It’s a beautiful way to {represent} babywearing as The Mother Earth, stimulating your baby reptilian instinct. {This position is} very safe with the mom’s body to relieve the gravity pressure on this baby body. This position is a good solution for hypotonic babies, {because} it automatically helps some babies’ needs with possible bad effects from the gravity influence.”

Translated by PAXmommy Jillian from Marie’s comment on this photograph of #babycate at 3 weeks in our Easycare Ring Sling.

Well… you know you’ve hit the big times when you see yourself in HUFFINGTON POST!! *wink*

How do YOU keep cool in the Summer? What are your favorite tricks and tips for beating the heat?

We LOVE how cool a wrap conversion ring sling can be all year round! Only one layer of  fabric between you and baby, and it can easily be rolled up and thrown into any bag or purse when not in use! Some people worry that once your baby gets bigger and becomes a toddler, he will outgrow a ring sling. Happy to tell you that that isn’t the case! When your little one is worn more centered on your body, not just your hip, and you are careful to adjust and tighten to get rid of any slack, you will be surprised at how comfy a WCRS with a toddler can be! Definitely a staple with the PAXmommies!!

Don’t see a ring sling in stock that you fancy?? Did you know that if you mention it in your order comments, we can send your wrap directly to a converter of your choice for slingification???  Why not split a bigger wrap with a friend, and get TWO slings, two mediums can be created from a size 5, just FYI.

Water slings and wraps are also a Summer staple! Never fear chlorine and salt-water again on your pretties again!

Proper positioning with a ring sling is the same as with a ssc, and a woven wrap. Baby should be upright, nice and high under your chin and close enough to kiss! <3

Secese Rococo is PAXbaby.com‘s exclusive reprise of Kokoskaa – Wrap Factory‘s art-nouveau inspired design with a RAINBOW flair. Gradient Breathtakingly beautiful, this gradient colorway on a beautiful black warp is medium-thick in weight, but Rococo feels thinner in hand. After one wash, you will find its softness competes with your FAVORITE blanket. While having the amount of grip to lock your favorite carry or slip knot in place it is super soft matched with a slight texture . While cushy on the shoulders, the supreme floppiness of Rococo makes for a lovely wrap job carried out with ease.
Now…what will it be??
Woven wrap? Ring sling?? Or Kokobu??

Hi babywearing group leaders, PAXbaby is dismantling our now defunct rental program, and we have carriers to share! These range from well loved & used to new since we had stockpiled to use in the future and now cannot. Our Sling Exchange program was dearly beloved and we will miss being able to offer this service, but unfortunately insurance liability was just too high to continue! Make our loss your gain, and let our entire community continue to reap the benefits of having a wide variety of carriers at their fingertips to try!
