Baby
Boomba started with our colicky baby. That's him on the top left.
He was a baby that needed to be constantly carried, walked, and
yoga balled. The "department store" baby carrier simply
didn't do it for us. It was awkward, confusing and provided no
back support. Even better, it turned his legs white from cutting
off his circulation!
My
mission began to find a hip, fashionable and most importantly,
no fuss baby carrier. So in a nutshell, Baby Boomba is a place
to find all sorts of wonderful babyslings!
Baby
Boomba has evolved since then. We launched our own brand of Nursing
Covers appropriately called "hideouts".
(made for moms who wanna hideout, not hangout!), eco
blankies, and organic
onesies.

babywearing roots
My
grandmother used to carry me in the traditional Chinese Mei Tai's.
I also used to sport a mei tai for my little dolls! I'm trying
to find that picture of me with my doll, and as soon as I do,
I'll be sure to post it up here!
The
Mei Tai picture on the right is Buddy and I. This Mei Tai is 26
years old and belonged to my aunt who carried my cousin in it
when he was a baby. Pretty sturdy still!
The
picture on the bottom right was shot while vacationing in Macau,
China with a grandmother carrying a really tired boy. (I think
she's talking on her cell phone!).

Who
really wants to read this part anyways? I'll make it short and
sweet. Visit my blog at www.babyboomba.blogspot.com
if you are bored. Other than that, I'm also busy running www.qideas.ca
(nice plug).
Happy
shopping or perusing!
