This week we crank up the cardio using some tried and tested training protocols to raise the heart rate with low impact, high energy multi muscle movements. Watch your form, keep the movements smooth and controlled and focus on your posture and core activation throughout. You can adapt this workout to suit your fitness by using either just your body weight or adding in some small hand weights to turbo charge this session! You are aiming here for 10 back to back reps of each move...30 in total before resting for 1 minute and you are aiming to repeat the circuit 4 times.

1. Side squat and bicep curl
2. Alternating lunge and press
3. Squat, curl and press

With the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh baby carrier, you can do it all (like hiking!) and stay cool. A few of our mama friends hit the trails this past week in Los Angeles. Hiking is a great way to get out and enjoy the outdoors with babe!  Just be sure to prep and bring along the sunscreen.   Please use caution when attempting any of the carries, exercise or activities highlighted on this blog, social media or any other content channels.  Please use common sense and caution when using a baby carrier.  You should consult a physician before starting any diet or exercise program.  For more information, see our Disclaimer.

  The Original and Four Position 360 baby carriers are designed to carry most children from birth (at least 7 pounds) with the use of the infant insert, which provides cushion and support. Infants are soft and floppy and lack the ability to hold their head and trunk up on their own. The Ergobaby infant insert provides this needed support that is not present in the carrier without it. Think of a taco holding everything up and in. This insert keeps the airway open and provides a swaddling effect that both soothes and protects the infant.

Just like in the Omni 360 baby carrier, once your baby is able to sit up on her own, you can face her out in the Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh.  But, we've made it even easier with the Cool Air Mesh Sliders! (Other milestones to consider: Once your baby can see above the front panel of the carrier, has strong head & neck control, and has a natural curiosity to see and interact with the world, they are ready for front-outward carry. This is usually around 5-6 months, depending on your baby.) And since we know that you're a mama-on-the-go (what mom isn't?!), you want to be able to switch baby easily from facing in to facing out and back again (remember if baby is getting sleepy or over-stimulated, be sure to switch her back to facing you for a nap or to calm her down). Check out how to do the #quickswitch with

My husband and I had been married less than a day when we first got The Question from his dad, my new father-in-law: “So, when can we expect grandkids?” We weren’t that surprised. Both of us have always known we’d be parents one day, and were fortunate to have parents who didn’t see any contradiction between being gay and raising a family. I still remember the first words out of my mom’s mouth when I came out to her: “You still want to have kids, right?” In retrospect, my husband and I traveled a fairly traditional path: boy meets boy, boy falls in love with boy, boy marries boy. But as we quickly learned, the latest chapter in our story – boy and boy start a family – was a little more complicated. As many prospective parents know, the wait can be longer than you expect. Deciding on adoption was the easy part; making it happen took work. Because there was no scenario in which we could “accidentally” adopt -- no “honey,

We love these sweet "everyday" testimonials from mamas that are featured on a round-up by Black Moms Blog. I LOVE Ergo!! I literally take my carrier on every adventure! Baby wearing is very special to me! There is something very ancestral that awakens when I wear my baby.  I imagine my foremothers walking through their village, with their babies on their back. Ergo allows me to not only “get stuff done,”  but it allows me to connect with my baby on a tribal tip… comfortably. Read the entire post here on Black Moms Blog.

Our friend Sadie posted a beautiful post about her breastfeeding and transition to bottle journey. When I was breastfeeding, this nursing pillow was such a great tool to help me with latch, position, and my posture. I especially loved using it at night when I was really exhausted during those 3 am feedings. It offers firm support so that it can really be helpful to me and my babe. I didn’t have to slump over to get a proper latch or to get the hold I needed with the latch I needed. My back usually aches with the first few weeks of breastfeeding and this time it hasn’t once! Read more of Sadie's journey and see the entire post here.

The Adapt carrier allows to carry your baby from those earliest cuddly moments well into toddlerhood (7-45lbs), all without the need for any additional inserts.  Let's start at the beginning, how to use the Adapt baby carrier with a newborn! It's the best baby carrier in our humble opinion for the super-special fourth trimester newborn snuggles.
