Welcome to Baby Holders
Wear your baby comfortably close to your heart

I have recently given up my business of selling Maya Wraps to the public.  As much as I have loved Maya Wrap slings, my kiddoes have both grown out of them and I have other endeavors in my life now to which I'll be devoting much of my time and attention.

Please contact me if you live in the Kalamazoo, MI area and would like some help wearing your baby.  Or visit some of the links below for online information about babywearing, different positions, different kinds of slings, and how to make your own slings of various kinds.  

Parents and caregivers all over the world have been wearing their babies for centuries.
Why stop now?!

Babies should be close to their parents, where they want and need to be.  Where they can feel the warmth and safety of their parent or caregiver and hear the familiar sound of a beating heart.  Where they can be calmed when they are hurt or scared, be walked and rocked to sleep when they are tired, be warmed when they are cold.  Where they can feel like they are an integral part of their family and can view the world around them with their fresh and eager eyes, learning from all they see.

If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation - or love and trust.
