Parenting By Nature - Review & Giveaway! (CLOSED)

I'd like to say that the majority of the time my husband I parent by doing the most natural thing and try to do what's best for our children. Parenting By Nature is a great site for others striving in that same direction.
Parenting By Nature has some great products from baby carriers, cloth diapers, natural toys, clothing and much, much more. A selection that is definitely worth taking a look at. The site is also full of great babywearing 101 instructions and tips for even the most experienced baby wearer. I'm really enjoying the cloth diaper 101 section as well. There always seems to be more to learn when searching in that area. Parenting By Nature isn't just a business to sell you things, they are there with support, encouragement and ready to assist with any questions you may have. Check out the site for a lot of great products.

I reviewed the UpMAMA hybrid ring sling and was very satisfied with the quality for this carrier. It's easy to put on, place your child in and adjust. I'm definitely looking forward to using this with our new little one and with Amelia as much as I can with the bump getting bigger by the day. This is my first ring sling and I'm very pleasantly surprised, I love my baby carriers and this is just one more to add to my list. I really love the pocket with zipper for keys and other items so you don't have to carry around a purse when not necessary. The instructions were very good that came with this sling, web links to watch before wearing your baby, and was wrapped very nicely. When receiving so nicely and with the encouragement it made me want to visit the site for more information and contact them just because of how kind they are.

Check out Parenting By Nature and see what items would suit you. For mom, baby, child and more!

  63. Another favorite product at Parenting by Nature is their new Mei Tai Baby Carriers (aka Asian Baby Carriers) with the padded shoulder straps and waist strap to a small, square body, offering unlimited options for comfortable adjustments and carrying positions. It evenly distributes baby's weight, and is suitable up to 35 pounds. This carrier offers hand-free use. I love the "Theresa" and "Marie" fabrics.

    As for the Upmama hybrid sling, my choice of fabric is "Chocolate" in an Average size:) I would LOVE to win this sling for my niece and her brand new baby boy:)
