I have taken a sabbatical from writing to focus on raising my little bean and trying to be a better mother to my daughter. During my leave, I had the fortunate opportunity to reach out to some Work at Home Mothers who are Eco-conscious and also saavy business women. Starting with this post, I am going to highlight some of the WAHMs I was happy to come across. I would like to support their endeavor because they are working from home to raise their children who gets the best of both worlds by having a stay at home mother who also has the ability to earn an income. (Not to knock on working mothers because I am sure it’s hard to leave your little ones behind) but also because in most instances; WAHMs suppport local economy by employeeing their community and offering them fair wages.
Erika from Naturally Nursling offers natural and green products for Eco-conscious parenting. But futhermore, she offers Hemp Tai Baby carriers that is made with Eco wonder fiber hemp and Organic cotton which is well touted for its sustainable and renewable characteristics. The Hemp Tais are comfortable, well-made, and a must have for baby wearing parents. I have written about the virtues of baby wearing, and encourage any parent to start this wonderful endeavor. It’s a way to keep your baby close to you while going on with your daily activities. The Hemp Tais are a variation of mei tai which is considered an Asian Inspired baby carriers. Used extensively in China; it has a waist, panel, and long straps that tie around the baby’s back and bum.
Why you should consider the Eco-friendly Hemp Tai baby carriers
- A comfortably padded curved 6″ waist
- 80″ Long Top Straps {allows most to tie almost every carry}
- Seat darting to create the perfect spot for your little one to rest comfortably
- A nicely sized sleeping hood, that is not too big, and not too small
- All natural fibers so you are safe from toxins and chemicals
- 55% Organic Bamboo and 45% Organic Cotton padding
Naturally Nursling also offers a mei tai wraptation (pictured above) which combines the snuggliness of a woven baby wrap with the ease of use of a mei tai. It’s the best of both worlds. If you are unsure about baby wearing (and there’s so many reasons why you should not be) then check out Naturally nurslings natural and green products such as cloth diapers, wool covers, and non-toxic pacifiers like Gumdrop which we received at the Hospital and Love.
