Our entire stock of Zolowear baby slings is set to ship free.
There is no coupon code required- the deal is automatically applied.

Here is a selection of our 16 fabric colors. Most Zolowear slings are strong cotton with a little bit of stretch, but there are also 3 choices in silk brocade, 2 UV-protective summer slings, and 3 organic choices from their sustainable production line.

All are suitable for newborns up to 2 or 3. They are incredibly well-constructed and safety tested into the hundreds of pounds for weight, but realistically, once your child is 30 or 35 pounds, you’ll both rather have her walk!

Right here.

Here’s a shot of me and my girl. I don’t carry her on my back much because she is almost 3. When we go out she usually walks while I carry baby brother, but this photo shows us at home.

It was December, I needed to ship packages, she wanted to cuddle.

The carrier is a Beco 4th generation in Metropolis.

No matter what brand of baby sling you were given or are thinking about buying, if you are having any trouble figuring it out, here are two good sources of video instructions online.

Using a sling can be very easy from the start, but some people need the visual help.

I promise, once you get going, it will become second nature! When my first child was several weeks old, I was stumped by the sling. I got help in person and suddenly it made so much sense! Baby was soothed and I felt comfortable and had my hands free again. What a lifesaver!

We love these dresses. We don’t have much Happy Green Bee clothing in our store yet but we do carry their matching hats, blankets, and even dressed-up dolls. We just had to start by bringing in these petal dresses!

Toddler girls have such fun spinning these skirts!

Sizes are 6 months to 1 year, 1-2 years, and 2-3 years

I’m glad to announce we’re all stocked-up again on Pikkolo baby carriers!

There is one new color too, a solid khaki. I love when products come in basic colors like that, because some customers really appreciate something a dad will want to wear on a regular basis. Pikkolo already comes in all black, but the khaki matches some people’s clothes or taste better. I’m glad we have both now.

Also, CatBird Baby posted some Pikkolo wearing tips on their blog today.

Today UPS brought a little box filled with our new colors of Diapees and Wipees. These are the cloth travel packs to hold a few disposable diapers and wipes so they don’t get scrunched up in your big diaper bag or purse, and so you can grab something small and just go without the big bag sometimes.

At $15, they’re a popular baby shower gift choice.
Anyway, we restocked our bestseller, Carnival, and added four new choices- pink camo, green camo, metallic blue dots, and smart blue stripes.

Personally, I’d pick the stripes :)

Here are some excepts from the newborn section of the article

——————-

As she picks him up, he’s flooded with her scent and a dim memory of his other world — the place where his body floated and he first recognized the scent that’s hers alone. But now, two weeks after birth, he’s in a vast, dry place called home. She brings him close to nurse and he roots with his mouth, guided in part by the smell of colostrum and the smell from the scent glands on her nipples. Her scent links him to everything he craves: food, warmth, touch. He latches on and the sweetness of the liquid is vaguely reminiscent of the smell and taste of amniotic fluid — both are affected by his mother’s diet. Already, sweet is his favorite taste.
——————

He cries a high-pitched call for help. As he cries, cortisol, known as the stress hormone, and other hormones, like adrenaline, spread through his body, slightly increasing his temperature and heart rate. His mother lifts him from his crib and encircles him in her warm, familiar arms, and his cries immediately lessen.
—————–

With vision of roughly 20/300 — about 15 times worse than normal adult vision — he sees her as though looking through the thick, curvy glass of a vintage Coke bottle. Even up close, she’s slightly blurry: His eye muscles aren’t able to provide consistent focus. Intuitively, she holds him about a foot away, where his vision is clearest. Even then, what he sees in the blur are movement and contrast, the way her mouth moves to say “Hello” and the way her teeth flash from between her darker lips.

Perhaps it’s for the best that he has limited vision. Perhaps it keeps him from being overwhelmed by seeing every detail of faces, hands, tables, and lamps for the very first time. His eyesight seems to provide just the right amount of stimulation for his developing visual cortex, which takes the images he sees and tries to make sense of them. In the meantime, he is able to see (fairly well) what’s most important in his world: his parents’ faces, his mother’s nipple.

This homemade photo gives a good view of the body panel of a 4th gen Beco in cocoa butterfly print. This fabric is another nice gender-neutral choice because it is made in shades of blue, brown and khaki but the design has a touch of femininity, so it can go both ways.

Baby is 15 months old and 24 pounds, wearing a size Medium (15-30 pounds) Super Whisper Wrap in Froggy pond print.

This particular diaper cover is actually a hand-me-down so you can really see how well the colors, velcro, and leg elastic have held up. We’re not kidding about offering products built to last!
