Maya Wrap Review

The first baby carrier I ever owned was the Maya Wrap (which is a ring sling, not a wrap). It was a gift from a friend, and I never really got the hang of it. Joshua uses the Maya regularly with Dylan, and I’ve gotten better at it by following his example. Description The Maya wrap is a long piece of woven, non-stretchy fabric with attached large metal rings to loop the fabric through. The… Keep Reading

Baby K’tan Review

After I reviewed my Moby Wrap, someone from Baby K’tan contacted me to say that they were interested in a review of Baby K’tan from me as an experienced Moby user. I jumped at the chance to try it out, because I’m really enjoying learning lots of different carriers. I was provided a Baby K’tan to try out so I could review it, and this review is entirely my own opinion. The big selling point… Keep Reading

Moby Wrap Review

I’m going to review all the baby carriers I use, and my clear choice to start with is the Moby. I’ve owned a Moby since my nanny days, because it’s my hands-down favorite of all carriers. For infants to toddlers, the Moby wins on comfort which is my top priority. Description The Moby Wrap is a baby carrier made from a single long piece of stretchy fabric. Price You can get a new Moby for… Keep Reading

Issa’s Reviews: Manufacturing Depression by Gary Greenberg

Manufacturing Depression: The Secret History of a Modern Disease by Gary Greenberg – FOUR STARS I’m interested in the topic of depression right now, since I believe myself to have serious depression and as soon as I get un-pregnant I’m going to seek both talking treatment and medicinal treatment. That makes this book from Gary Greenberg come along at an excellent time for me, since it is decidedly skeptical on the question of depression as… Keep Reading

Issa’s Reviews: Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner

Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner – FOUR STARS I’m not planning to review a lot of fiction books. I find non-fiction much more interesting, and my fiction choices are usually throw-away novels. Little Earthquakes is different for me, though. I have owned it for years and read it several times. I wanted to read it again while pregnant, and it touched me the same way it always did. It tugs at my heart, turns my emotions inside… Keep Reading

Issa’s Reviews: Pushed by Jennifer Block

Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care by Jennifer Block – FOUR STARS The term physiological birth is often used to describe “natural” birth, as opposed to birth that is aided and assisted and managed along the way. Physiological basically just means having to do with the body, but I saw it in another context while reading this book. At one point the word comes at the end of the line so… Keep Reading

Issa’s Reviews: Raising Baby Green Part Two

The book Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care gave me so much material to rant about, I broke it up into two parts. If you’re ready for another dose, here’s part two. Keep Reading
