Not being a mother, I can't say I'm up on a lot of the lingo and other terms that go along with having children, caring for babies, etc. The other day I learned a new term for something I'd seen before but never realized there was an actual "term" for it.
Babywearing.
For those of you that don't know what this means, this term is in reference to any type of "baby transport" where you are using a sling or other form of carrier to "wear" your baby instead of carrying it in your arms. I was first introduced to this idea with back packs made for baby and have more recently become an admirer of the sling.
Today's shop, BabyEtte on Etsy, is filled with these amazing and useful pieces. Slings can be worn in a huge variety of ways from frontal "backpack" style to cradled baby, etc. And if you take a look in BabyEtte's shop, you'll see just how wide a variety of ways you can wear these inventive pieces, too, because the shop owner has been sure to photograph these wonderful items in all different configurations.
BabyEtte is focused not just on providing a safe and comfortable way to carry (wear) baby, but the owner also feels strongly that their slings should be beautiful. You won't find licensed characters or juvenile prints in BabyEtte. Instead, since the slings are going to cover up most of your outfit anyway (which is good when your shirt has been used as a hanky) the slings are made in a style that you would want wear anyway.
Not only that, but they have slings for Daddy too, in masculine colors, etc. And they make a point of giving you that option in their shop not just with words but also with pictures. (I love the daddy pics.)
The slings in this shop offer versatility, beauty and a safe way to carry your baby without juggling from arm to arm and other frustrations. They're the perfect gift for baby showers and expecting mothers as well.
