"I’m hooked!"

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on September 18, 2007

***See below for UPDATED info on how to get your very own Moby!***

My sister has found the perfect way to carry her son, Alex, without pain or discomfort.
This is what she wrote about the Moby D…


When my son, Alex, was born I used our Snuggli carrier and really enjoyed being able to have my hands free. An added bonus was that he was so happy to be so close to me. However, after he was a few months old I wasn’t able to continue using it, due to the fact that my lower back would always hurt, as well as my neck because of all the strain put there. I got a Baby Bjorn and found the same problem; if it wasn’t immediate pain I would wake up the next morning feeling the effects. The carriers just didn’t cut it for me. My son isn’t a big boy either – He is 10 months old now and only 19 pounds.

A few months ago my sister (that would me moi!) told me about the Moby D, and even let me borrow hers to see if I liked it. I used it that same day and I loved it! I was able to go shopping, with my son wrapped close to me, for hours without feeling one bit of strain on my back or neck. To be honest, I could hardly tell he was there. Even the next day there were no signs of pain. I just had to get one of the stylish wraps for myself. I am hooked on it now. I love it! Alex loves it too! When I go grocery shopping I wrap him up, facing out, and he feels like he is on his own… He even puts his hands on the shopping cart and thinks he’s the king of the world!

If you have yet to find the perfect way to wear your baby, you should really get yourself a Moby wrap – You and your little one will love it!

I have a Black with Black Silk like this one –

I’m a Baby Wearin’ Mama! (A review and a GIVEAWAY)

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on September 10, 2007

I have worn a lot of babies in my career as a mommy, but for some time I have wanted to find a comfortable way to wear my babies. I had (and unfortunately used) a well-know baby carrier with my first four, tried the cheap over-the-shoulder infant slings, wanted desperately to buy an Ergo Carrier (but didn’t) when I had Ben, BUT was determined to find a fashionable sling or baby carrier, for this new little one, that would be comfortable and not kill my back.

Natacha and Lisa, from Rockin’ Baby Shop, sent me the “Origin of Love” Baby Pouch and it has truly been a lifesaver over the last several weeks! Baby Noah has no desire but to be held, preferably by moi, and I am anticipating that I will be turning to my pouch for many hours of hands-free baby carrying.

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingNoah just loves to be nestled so close. Among other things, I have been able to teach the older kids, wash the dishes, blog, and even nurse him… all while he is nestled close, quite content, just where he loves to be! The best part about my Rockin’ Baby sling is that it is so very comfortable to wear Baby in and it seriously doesn’t kill my back or shoulders!

An added bonus is that I honestly feel like a superstar while wearing Baby out in public!! I have been complimented and congratulated more while carrying Noah in my Rockin’ Baby sling then ever before. (It’s a good thing the attention doesn’t bother me!!)

Rockin’ Baby pouches and slings are super easy to use and take just seconds to get baby in and out. All carriers are hand made by hardworking moms, and even the company itself was founded by two hip moms (Lisa and Natasha) who firmly believe in babywearing, and wanted to fill the need for cool, stylish and functional slings.

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingGuess what? I have a Ziggy Stardust baby Pouch to give away to one very lucky mama or papa (yes, daddies wear their babies, too!) who thinks babywearing is rockin’!! If you don’t have a little one to wear, it would make a great gift!

Here’s how to enter:

1) Sign the Mr. Linky below.

2) Leave a comment telling me which Rockin’ Baby sling or pouch is your favorite. There are so many wonderful fabrics to choose from, so take your time browsing Rockin’ Baby’s selection!

2) Post about this review and giveaway on your blog, linking to this giveaway AND Rockin’ Baby Shop. If you don’t have a blog, please email at least three friends and tell them about this giveaway, and be sure to CC me at fromdatestodiapers(at)yahoo.com.

3) You must enter by midnight (PST) on Monday, September 17th. Winner will be randomly selected and announced on Tuesday morning.

4) Cross your fingers AND your toes!
