Okay, there's a lot of cool stuff out there for hip moms and dads.
Here's my list of "must-have" products.

Long Wraps (also called didymos
slings):
Components: A long piece of woven or knit fabric
that is at least 25 inches
wide and 5 to 6 feet long.
Use: Long wraps are like the Mt. Everest of
babywearing. If you can take
a five yard piece of fabric and artistically wrap you and your child in
a secure, mummy-like embrace, you are officially a babywearing expert!
With practice, you can achieve ANY babywearing position for the price
of a
few yards of fabric. If you don’t know what you are doing, it
can be extremely
frustrating and even unsafe. So study up, and you too could make it
into the
Babywearing Hall of Fame!
(But don’t fret, little buckaroo. You don’t have to
start here. There are
plenty of other less-intimidating carriers for you to enjoy that
don’t
require the same level of finesse – or patience!)
Variations: Sometimes referred to as a didymos
sling (based on a brand name),
or a SPOC (simple piece of cloth), long wraps are available in many
different sizes.
Please note that there are different instructions for using long wraps
made of
woven fabric versus wraps made of knit fabric.
Instructions
Thriving Babies - Section Two,
contains the complete instructions with step-by-step photos for
mastering both short and long wraps.
You
can purchase Section Two at a discounted price of $9.95. This is a
great value for the parent who is only interested in these three baby
carrier styles.
Please
Note: If you would like to explore the entire world of baby
carriers, I recommend the Complete
Thriving Babies Manual.
It contains Sections One, Two, and Three -- describing all styles of
baby carriers and how to successfully use each for the low price of
$19.95. That's like getting Section Three for Free!
