Babywearing, Sleeping, and Breastfeeding. What More Can A Baby Ask For?

An amazing friend sent me this awesome carrier. I know her from on online forum, http://www.thebabywearer.com/. She is also a loyal blog follower and a dear Facebook friend.

Brandy, (MustangXena) I cannot thank you enough for loaning me this Dream Carrier. I've never tried a buckle waist before and I LOVE it. So do the babies (and Lilah, as she was carried in it on our walk yesterday)


Babywearing AND Breastfeeding? What lucky baby girls :)

  4. It is *kid of*. Its a WAHM made carrier. This one is a Dream Carrier. If you click on the link above, search under ABC carriers. This actually started its life as a woven wrap and was converted to this carrier. Its super supportive and very versitle. It does have the buckle waist like the Ergo but the shoulder straps are long and wrap like. Lots of WAHM make them and they are the best! There is OMT, DCWC, Sjaltai and tons more :) You should try one!

  5. I use an ergo to put my son to sleep at night. My next carrier should definitely be one made by another mom though!

  6. I've used a sling with the middle kids, but a friend gave me an sleepy wrap for #10, Rosalie, 16 mo. I liked it when she was little. Now, she does not like to be carried-she is full speed ahead from the moment she wakes up until she passes out for a nap, then full speed again until bedtime. :)

  7. Last night I was reading this, with my two little boys on my lap. They were so enamored with you babies!

    My 2yo kept saying, 'Look, Mommy, look. One hiding in her mommy's shirt!' While my 4yo asked when I was going to carry him again. Then the littlest one started doing tricks for the babies, telling me that they were watching him.
    This morning, he sat in front of the computer and asked to visit those babies again. :)

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful babies with us.

  17. Hi Nicole,
    My name is Sarah and I have 13 month old twin boys. Only 2 kids so far but I would LOVE to have many more. Anyways, I have been enjoying your blog and would love to share it with your permission on my FB page "Parenting Multiples" (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Parenting-Multiples/231153146941981). Its a group for all multiple parents (dads, grandparents, etc) - some BF, some use formula, some co-sleep, some not, some vaccinate some don't. What we have in common is our twins/triplets/higher order multiples. I like to bring all kinds of information to the group in a respectful manner. And I love that you are cloth diapering, baby wearing, and BFing your triplets! It many encourage others to try it who feel like its otherwise impossible with multiples.
    Btw: I blogged about you in my lastest blog :)
