One of the things I want to wrote more about is wrapping.  I do plan to write about babywearing but my new love for/obsession with the wraps themselves is what I really want to share.  This is one of those things I have a sneaking suspicion might be of interest to precious few, but I’ve given myself permission to indulge. 

When I first dipped a toe into the world of babywearing I was shocked to see women with ten, twenty, fifty wraps in their “stashes” because honestly, you can really only use one at a time, and they are, well not exactly cheap.  In fact one of the things holding me back from writing more about the beautiful pieces of cloth I’ve started collecting is a fear that you may judge me or think me silly for spending money on them. But, I’ve decided I really don’t care, and while collecting wraps is not the cheapest hobby I can certainly think of many more expensive hobbies that I would love to hear about and I wouldn’t find myself judging one bit. Writing about wraps (and other slings, maybe even SSC’s one day) just feels like a pretty normal extension of something that already consumes a fair amount of my time and interest, and as my babywearing days are limited I’d like to enjoy them to the fullest. 

However, I do want to say, that the true benefits of babywearing are in the closeness and bond with your baby, and that one simple piece of cloth is really truly all you need. The rest are just for fun!
