g!na- Maybe Joely wants to expose her daughters to the joys of helping others from an early age.

Olivia is just a little doll, and I just want to pinch those round cheeks of hers. It’s nice to see Joely out with her girls.

Anne, think of how babies are in utero.. they are squished!! A lot of babies find that very comforting once they are out. My baby would ALWAYS fall asleep in my wrap, she loved it!!! Same idea with swaddling.. a tight swaddle is NOT uncomfortable to the baby but the opposite, it is very soothing to them.

I also wanted to comment about the sling.. it is great so many people are getting into babywearing, but pouch slings especially need to be fitted to your body correctly. I would imagine how she is carrying her is very uncomfortable on her back and shoulder. I made my own pouches to take the guesswork out of sizing, but I prefer adjustable slings or my wrap to the pouches. So many people are just sure the baby can fall right out but even with my wiggly baby she never was not completely secure in my slings.

aaw!! kids are cute!!! Olivia is stunning!!! How do you clean the beach with a baby in a sling in front of you? If i was doing some serious cleaning i wouldn’t be having a baby on me! Just my opinion. Not to be mean but sometimes i see these events as a photo opportunity. At least for me if i’m going to clean a beach i’m going to leave the baby at home so she/he doesn’t get hurt from glass containers etc. IDK, just my thinking but i hope she really cleaned up if she was there for it! I like this family i just don’t see the point of bringing a baby for a cleaning project!

Love her children. Olivia was adopted domestically. Does anyone know how domestic adoption works? How long does it typically take?

Don’t like the slings at all and would never ever consider using one. Babies look like sardines squished in one. They don’t even look comfortable in them.

Jane,

To answer your question, the way to keep a baby from flipping out of a sling is too make sure your sling fits both you and your baby well. While there are many different types of slings, in one like Joely is wearing, the strap needs to be on her shoulder. A baby could flip out if the sling is worn incorrectly. The best thing that you can do while wearing a baby like that is to make sure the “pouch” part of it comes all the way up to a baby’s shoulders. Once you have a sling fitted to you and your baby correctly, it will feel so secure and tight that you probably won’t ever have a baby lose their balance.

i think her family is beautiful, even more so with the latest addition.

i love it that she’s wearing her baby. she is, however, wearing the sling incorrectly. not being mean, just stating the facts. the top of the sling should be on top of her shoulder, not hanging off her arm. the baby’s bottom should be around her belt/waist area, instead of around her crotch.

this is why i like the adjustable slings (i have a zolowear) best b/c i can adjust the sling depending on how big the baby is. i have a new native carrier but felt like the baby was going to fall out. the adjustable sling allows you to pull the baby very close and keep her/him in an appropriate, safe, comfortable place.
