You know I never realized how hard it would be to keep up with the blog with 2 little ones...You're getting there too! Just three months to go ;)

Hi Rochelle, I wish I could give advice but we actually have the opposite problem. He likes to walk but he likes to sit and nap even more! We sometimes use a kick board on a bugaboo (which is kind of fun for bigger kids-- we used to call it his skateboard) but when he gets tired he is unhappy about having to stand. More and more he wants to walk and I'm okay with that except when I'm in a big rush. Then an argument usually ensues! Kristin

Hi Ana, I have two children and have used 7 different brands and types of slings, wraps, carriers and back carriers. I received tutorials from 4 different experts on how to properly wear children at different ages in both my slings and my wraps. At all stages I listen to my children when determining what to use because they have been very good at letting me know when they are uncomfortable. Both of my children protested vehemently at different ages and stages when placed in ring slings or wraps that were safely and properly adjusted. My daughter preferred the ring sling for the first 5 months and then she wanted the Bjorn or Ergo. My son preferred the Bjorn from day 1 and then our Kelty backpack. I'm sure all children are different but this is what mine prefer. As for hip problems...My son who was carried in a Bjorn exclusively from 0-12 months until we switched to the Kelty backpack never had hip problems. My daughter however who was sling carried exclusively for the first 5 months, with her legs and knees positioned in the manner you describe as ideal, did have hip problems. I then switched to the Bjorn and her hip joint alignment/dysplasia improved. Not to imply a causal relationship, but I wouldn't say that your advice there is completely sound. Hip dysplasia can be aggravated by positioning, but the actual cause of hip dysplasia is unknown. Also, all methods of carrying a child (including on your hip) put some degree of pressure on the crotch area. The only thing my children have protested however is pressure on their chest/abdomen and/or restriction of their arms. When choosing between a screaming squirmy unhappy baby or toddler in a sling or wrap (that a professional has shown me how to adjust) or a smiling happy little one in a Bjorn, I choose the latter. Based on my experience I've learned that it's important not to judge other moms for their choice of carriers or strollers, or any other choice for that matter. Not every family is exactly like yours and you never can know how much due diligence another parent has done. We all love our kids and are trying our very best! Kristin

I'm another lurker who visits all the time but almost never comments. I just wanted to add to the positive backlash against the negative comments on sponsored posts. #1 You are an inspiration to mothers around the globe (your style, humor and your willingness to put yourself out there post after post) #2 People should know by now that nice comments and page clicks are not all there is to blogging. Blogging is work and to not receive $ for your efforts would be unfair and not realistic so please don't let anyone intimidate you from incorporating sponsorships. #3 Like everything you post the watches were darn cool, James. So I don't know what all the fuss was about! I've been following bleubird for 2 years as a much newer mom myself I've learned so much from you and although we're the same age I think of you as big sister in that regard. So from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU! (and merry christmas!)

Hi Kris, You're right and we actually know a couple of people with strawberry allergies. They get a rash on the face. I think it's a reaction to the fungus that lives on the skin of the berries. I wasn't aware that it could cause anaphylactic symptoms as well, but that's good to know. It is probably best to avoid just in case!

Thank you :) She had a lot of fun and honestly loved doing the shoot.

Thank you, Melany! It's on it's way to you!

We've finally decided to sell ours too. Yay for more floor space!

Phew! So we're not alone :)

Thank you! We're working on international shipping...I'll announce it on the blog when it launches!

Hi Hillary, So glad you guys are alright. Better safe than sorry! BTW Hux is such the handsome little lad these days!
