Little Kids, Big City
I was the last kid in class to figure out shoelaces. So when it came to babywearing, I often found myself hopelessly entangled in my Moby Wrap with a screaming baby, until a patient (and more adept) friend showed me the ropes.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was eager to have her out of my belly and into my arms, but I knew I'd want my hands free on occasion. I loved some of the infant carriers that I saw other women wearing, but looking online at all of my options confused rather than clarified matters for me. There were so many styles, but not knowing how the baby and I would work together, I had no clue what would work best for us.
