LIFE WITH A NEWBORN – BABY WEARING EDITION
Baby wearing is something that I do every single day. It’s how I accomplish cleaning, cooking or running errands.

At some point, your little is going to become fascinated with the world and want to constantly look around. This is when the Ergo 360 comes in handy! When your baby can hold his or her head…

There are many reasons why we choose to babywear (and why you should too) and I’ll get into those in just a minute. Let me start by telling y’all about my favorite wraps from Burrow Baby.
