I borrowed a friend's baby this morning 💜 I have long loved ring slings, they are cool in warm weather, offer a great vantage point, aren't hard to do once you have the knack and will last from birth to preschool.

Here's our guide to staying safe in sunshine and warm weather while carrying children. Enjoy and keep cool, shaded and hydrated. https://www.carryingmatters.co.uk/carrying-in-the-heat/ #summerbabywearing #summerslings #babywearingtips #keepingcool #carryingmatters

I am definitely a wrapper, but there are times that my trusty Toddler Plus sized onbuhimo from @tallulahbabydesigns is the *perfect* carrier for us. It's nice to have buckles sometimes 🖤🖤🖤 .

She is smiling slightly at the camera and the kiddo is looking away. They both have brown curly hair.] . . . #onbuhimo #tallulahbabydesigns @ankaliatextiles #summerbabywearing #wovenwrap #textiles #crunchymama #blackwomendobabywear #crunchymomsofcolor #blackbabywearing #babywearersofcolor #manhattanmombie #babywearing #toddlerwearing #toddler #bigkidwearing #preschooler #youcannotignorethis #carrythemclose #babywearingmama #wearallthebabies #wearallthetoddlers #babywearingwhileblack #browngirlbloggers #blackgirlswhoblog (at Manhattan, New York)

We finally got to try a Falling Feathers design by @slingstudio and a new fiber for me - this is Cygnet and it's a cashmere blend, great for the slightly cooler weather we have been having. I'm not sure if it's allergy triggering since I kept it away from my bare skin, but it definitely wraps like a dream! 😍 Thin and sturdy with the perfect amount of glide to slide into place 👌🏽 [image description: Torso side view of a light skinned black preschooler wrapped on his mama's back in a natural colored wrap with slightly darker beige feathers.] . . . #slingstudio #fallingfeathers #fallingfeatherscygnet #summerbabywearing #summerinnyc #wovenwrap #textiles #crunchymama #blackwomendobabywear #crunchymomsofcolor #blackbabywearing #babywearersofcolor #manhattanmombie #babywearing #toddlerwearing #toddler #youcannotignorethis #carrythemclose #babywearingmama #wearallthebabies #wearallthetoddlers #babywearingwhileblack #browngirlbloggers #blackgirlswhoblog (at Manhattan, New York)

Checking for rain 🌧 in @solnceslings Phases Hazel. This *might* be the thickest wrap I've tried, and it is so super cushy and airy, perfect for a cool summer day. Loving the #monochrome , this one has a hint of blue 🖤 My necklace centerpiece was made by the wonderful @ilanaseashore #seashoredesignstudio 💜 [image description: A light skinned black mama is carrying a light skinned black preschooler on her back in a grey and white woven wrap with a minimal moon phase pattern. The kiddo is almost invisible except for an upturned hand checking for rain.

It's possible that I carry my big kiddo too high sometimes - he wants me to lean my head forward so he can rest on my neck 🤣 We are wearing @emmelinetextiles Eleanor Pearl grad dyed by @tinyhousetextiles 🖤 [image description: A light skinned black mama is wearing sunglasses and looking at the camera.

Babywearing takes us on so many fun adventures around our favorite city 🖤🖤 3 boroughs, 1 suburb, 6 subways, the beach (with a sunburn for Mama 🙈), dinner out, 2 commuter rails, a car, & 2 buses today with @pavotextiles Granite Apogee 🖤🚂🚞🚌🚙🗽☀️ [image description: A close up of a light skinned black mama's shoulder with a light skinned black preschooler behind it being worn on her back in a light grey and white striped woven wrap.

Not many wraps can handle a 3 year old with arms in! @pavotextiles Sparkleberry Noir is one of the ones that can! On a cool, rainy morning 🌧 SB Noir has the support and the width for a tall kiddo to snuggle in 😍🖤🖤🖤 [image description: light skinned black preschooler riding on his light skinned black mama's back in a black and white woven wrap with a floral pattern.
