"After carrying my newborn son, Kruz, around for the first few weeks, my back was on fire. Before Kruz was born, I had purchased all kinds of gear, tools, gadgets, and "Mommy-Aids". Many of them were still in the box. I had tried a few, and while some worked, others were disappointing. 

On this day, I pulled one out that I had tried before - something called a Maya Wrap baby sling. It's a very simple (and beautiful) sling  woven of 100% Guatemalan hand-loomed cotton. I had tried it once before, after coming home from the hospital, but I couldn't seem to get Kruz or myself comfortable. I pulled out the video that came with it, and watched it once more.    

Picking up Kruz from his bassinet, I slipped him into the sling. We jostled around for a few minutes, and VOILA! just like breastfeeding, suddenly everything slipped into place!"  (Now, Kruz's baby sister has taken over the sling). 

It was experiences like this - hard-won discoveries of products that work, ideas that make a Mom's life simpler, and philosophies of nurturing mother and child through every stage of pregnancy and infancy - that led me to create this resource site for New Mothers. It is my strong hope that you will join our community & share your experiences with us... and that through our interactions we can all learn to be better mothers.

Whether you are expecting a baby or have recently given birth --- Congratulations!  I'm confident that the  products and services on this site can & will become indispensable  for you.
