Babywearing Gathering This Sunday 10/18

Posted October 15th, 2009 in Products, baby carriers | No Comments

The Portland Baby Wearing group meets at Milagros on the third Sunday of the month from 11 am – 1 pm. Next one is this  Sunday, October 18th. These baby wearing gatherings are a casual forum for getting your questions on babywearing answered by other mamas and/or to share your own babywearing stories.

More info on the Portland Baby Wearing group may be found here.

Milagros offers expert babywearing advice and an extensive selection of baby slings and carriers everyday. In addition to slings and carriers available at our on-line store, we have Baby Hawks, Kangaroo Korner, Baby Bundler, Moby D, and many more carriers to choose from at our Portland store.

Product Spotlight: Kangaroo Kornor Adjustable Pouch

Posted October 6th, 2009 in Products, baby carriers | No Comments

Like many products we carry, Milagros was the first retailer in Oregon offering the Kangaroo Korner Adjustable Pouch. Why did we bring it to Oregon? Because is a easy to use, high quality option for folks wanting to wear their baby in a pouch.

Unlike many other pouches out there, these adjustable pouches are designed to grow with your baby and will accommodate different sized parents and a mama’s changing size postpartum. With a pouch, you can carry your little miracle in a variety of positions – from craddle carry to hip carry.

Here a sample of one of the basic carrying positions with the Kangaroo Korner:

As the weather is changing, we have upped our stock of the fleece version of this adjustable pouch. The Kangaroo Korner fleece pouch is made of comfy Malden Mills fleece. The snug and flexible fleece will hold your baby snug against your chest.

The Moby Wrap is the de-facto wrap around style baby carrier. It’s simple yet versatile design makes it suitable for any wearer. The benefits of babywearing are many, and with the slightly, but not too stretchy, 100% cotton fabric, there’s no better place for your baby to be.

milagrosbabywearinglogosmall.jpgMoby Wrap has been honored as the  “Favorite Baby Carrier” in Baby Children’s Product News Reader’s Favorites Awards!

Can’t say I’m surprised, we love using wraps and it was our primary carrier with Gael when he was a wee one.

You can find the full line of Moby Wraps at Milagros in Portland -  Regular, Moby D, and the Moby UV wrap. We also offer a selection of regular Moby Wraps in our on-line store.

Tip – If you want to just pick-up an on-line order from Milagros, pick “ship to store” when you check out. There is never a shipping charge for this  option.
