A Wildbird Aerial Buckle Carrier was generously donated to my collection and I was excited to take a closer look since it’s one I see a lot of families use!

My goal isn’t to tell you what to buy, but to help you understand why carriers feel the way they do 🫶🏼

This one is designed for front inward facing and back carrying. It comes in 2 different sizes (XS-XL and L-4XL). It’s recommended for babies 2-24 months and is safety tested for babies 7-45lbs.

Support with babywearing means personalized support that looks at you, your baby, and what you have going on in your life.

That’s it. That’s the difference. 🤍

I heard we’re bringing photos back from 2016 🤍

This was the year I started grad school to earn my master’s in OT. 📚

I moved in with a random girl from my program, realized we had so much in common, and now she’s one of my best friends. 👯‍♀️

That summer we celebrated passing Gross Anatomy with a bar crawl. 🍻

Study breaks were spent exploring everything St. Louis had to offer (Busch Stadium was my favorite⚾️).

And apparently… I also used those breaks to share quotes on Facebook that still very much apply 10 years later 😂

Kind of wild to think about how some seasons shape you more than you realize while you’re living them.

The word JOYFUL kept coming back to me as I thought about the year ahead.

Not in a loud or flashy way, but more like a steady, grounding one. The kind that feels less like a goal and more like a way of moving through this year.

I’m paying more attention to how meaningful it can be to slow down and truly let myself feel the moments I’m in. To let connection matter. To let things unfold without forcing them. I’m looking forward to continue building from what feels good & true, even when it looks a little different than expected. 🤍

I’d love to know - what word is guiding you this year?

If there’s one thing I wish more people understood about babywearing, it’s this:

👉🏼Babywearing is not about the carrier.

✨Babywearing isn’t just placing a baby into a carrier. It’s about connection first. Your baby feels your breathing, your warmth, your rhythm. Your movement helps organize their nervous system & your presence offers safety.

✨Babywearing is the art & practice of bringing your baby to your body, then using a carrier as a supportive tool to keep them close and secure that hold in place.

✨When a baby is worn, they’re being regulated, grounded, and oriented to the world through you. The carrier just helps to support that. 🤍
