About Marisa Connell
I decided to start selling slings and other baby carriers because of how useful I've found them in the past year. My daughter Fiona just turned 1, and I've been wearing her since we brought her home from the hospital. I became curious about babywearing while I was pregnant and attended a babywearing workshop at a fantastic local maternity shop. That showed me the possibilities - but was also a little intimidating! Could I really figure out how to wrap that rebozo what seemed like a 100 different ways and be comfortable? Could I flip my kid onto my back, balance her, and wrap her safely?
The answers were "yes," although it was an evolution. I started with a ring sling, and loved it. I used it pretty much every day, and I have a very happy baby. While I will never know how much babywearing contributed to my daughter's happy disposition, alertness, and social butterfly attitude (10%, 40%, 75%??), I am sure that babywearing contributed to both her and my well-being. I now alternate between a rebozo wrap (front, back, hip), the ring sling (for quick hip carriers), and a mei tie (convenient back carry). Whichever carrier I'm using, I'm comfortable, hands-free for multitasking, and snuggling with Fiona - who loves them all!
I would love to help you discover what the best carrier is for you and your lifestyle. Feel free to contact me directly at wrappedbaby@gmail.com or attend one of my workshops. I look forward to meeting your little one, helping you plan ahead, or choose a great baby gift for a friend or family member!
