As a very busy mom who is always on the go, it’s hard to tote around my 7 month old and still get things done. When my daughter was only a few weeks old, I couldn’t get anything done. I was carrying her around all the time, because she refused to be happy anywhere else. I had to make blog posts with one hand, dishes with one hand, laundry with one hand, and don’t even ask me how I made dinner every night. Thankfully, I discovered a different way of carrying my little one.

Baby slings are the most convenient way of carrying around your newborn. They are also quite fashionable too! They are available in a variety of fabrics and sizes.

I have been reviewing and testing different baby slings and wraps over the last several months. I just recently got the Chic Papoose Baby Sling that is fit for a celebrity. It’s just so chic!

For me, this was the best sling, even after trying more than half a dozen different slings and wraps.

I found this one to be the best size and fit for carrying my 7 month old in the Cradle Hold carrying position. (Click here to read more about carrying positions.) It was also easier to fold and store without the padding like the Hotslings Baby Slings and the Slinglings Baby Slings.

They come in only 3 sizes so the chance of getting a perfect fit isn’t as high as with the companies that offer several different sizes. However, I’m 5′3″ and approx 34B and the Regular size fits me perfect. My sister in law has one too and she’s 5′4″ and approx 36D and it fits her perfect with her tiny baby boy who’s little over 2 months old. So it goes to show that the same size can work perfectly for 2 different people.

My Chic Papoose is in the Cassidy print, an awesome summer print of hibiscus, surf boards, and waves. Love it!! It’s a popular print an almost sold out so hurry if you want one!

The Chic Papoose is on the upper end of the price chart when it comes to baby slings, but they are high quality and reversible. They have 15 different prints in 3 different sizes, and they cost $68 a piece. I definitely recommend them!

Panda Park Boutique is a Michigan based, independently owned company. They specialize in the latest trends in baby and children’s fashion, gifts and accessories. Formerly known as Jolie’s Boutique…the only thing that has changed is their name. They continue to maintain the same standard of excellence by offering impeccable customer service and the finest selection of distinctive and exceptional merchandise.

I love all of the cute, unique baby girl’s clothes they offer. I have the Ooh La La Mama Gina Giraffe Onezie and it’s really cute. The colors aren’t as bold in person, as they are in the picture. And for $36, it’s not as good quality as I expected.

It’s definitely unique and very cute though! You can get your own here >>

The Jingle Bells Anklet from Baby Emi Jewelry is a a Cambodian tradition.

I first saw this beautiful anklet on The View and then on the Celebrity Baby Blog. I thought it was unique and very stylish for a little baby! I also thought it was great that there was actually a store for baby jewelry.

“For the modern mama, the unique Jingle Bells Anklet is a fashionable and functional must have item for the active crawler and toddler. And a favorite celebrity accessory for Maddox, adopted son of Angelina Jolie! “

Gwen Stefani, Tori Spelling, Marcia Cross from Desperate Housewives, Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, Denise Richards, Faith Hill, Kelly Ripa, Celine Dion, and many more hip mom celebrities have this cute anklet for their tots.

You can see in our logo above that The Fashionable Bambino is wearing this ultra chic anklet! I love the little jingle it makes while I’m carrying her around in the sling. She loves it and it looks so cute on her. Everyone asks me where I got it and how they can get one.

They can be purchased online here >>>.

They cost $40 and come in 5 sizes. The anklet is handcrafted with .925 sterling silver and is also available as a set for $75.

I think $40 is a little steep for a baby anklet, but it’s adjustable so they will be able to use it for years and it’s well made to stand up to years of use. So I think it’s a good investment. Plus, you get to say that your favorite celebrity has the same one!

Breastfeeding is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your baby. But many mothers get frustrated due to the difficulty in trying to nurse in public.

We all have horror stories of having blankets pulled off, nursing in a dirty bathroom stall, or trying to race home with a hungry and hysterical baby. Having a nursing cover will allow you the freedom to breastfeed whenever you need to, wherever you need to, without compromising your modesty.

Milk Mumu’s Slogan:

My Review:

The Milk Mumu was definitely the best nursing cover I have had the opportunity to use and review. They are similar to the Bebe au Lait nursing covers, but better.

The strap that goes around your neck is thinner and more flexible, which I found was more comfortable. The rigid neckline on the Milk Mumu is similar to the one on the Bebe au Lait cover, but less stiff and easier to manage. The Milk Mumu was also slightly smaller in width and length, which made it much easier to maneuver into the correct position. I also liked the terry cloth pocket in the corner better than the one on the Bebe au Lait nursing cover.

Overall, the Milk Mumu has become my favorite nursing cover and it now resides in my diaper bag at all times. I definitely recommend the Milk Mumu to any nursing mother that wants to cover up and stay fashionable.

You can purchase Milk Mumu nursing covers on their website as well as in their eBay store.

Breastfeeding is something to be proud of. For those of us who are not so comfortable breastfeeding in public, Bebe au Lait has got you covered - and in style.

Bebe au Lait and Hooter Hiders nursing covers can be found in upscale maternity and baby boutiques all across the U.S and the rest of the world.

I can’t say enough nice things about these nursing covers. They are easy to put on, easy to adjust, you can see your baby while your nursing, and it’s so much more fashionable than just throwing your baby’s blanket over you.

I have the “chocolat” print nursing cover, as shown in the picture to the right. My mom thinks it’s too “wild and crazy” but I think it’s a great modern/retro print. I found a diaper bag with the same print on another website. If it wasn’t $129.00, I would have bought it!

I highly recommend these to any breastfeeding mother who wants to be discreet and fashionable at the same time. If you are interested in purchasing one of these fabulous nursing covers, visit the Bebe au Lait website and pick out your favorite print.

Being a fashionable mom, I have a hard time finding clothes for my daughter. Wal Mart and Babies R’ Us just doesn’t cut it for me! So I was delighted to find these adorable, organic cotton onesies from Nubius Organics.

These darling Organic Cotton Onesies are 100% natural, made and soy-ink-printed in the US. So soft next to babies skin, with no chemical or perfume additives.

Here is a pic of The Fashionable Bambino wearing her “Perfect Peach” onesie.

Nubius Organics will wrap your order in an organic cotton produce bag. And if you order a veggie toy or two, they will package them adorably for a sweet and special gift. Would make a great Baby Shower present!

These onesies nice escape from the traditional, ugly onesies you find in department stores. It’s nice that more companies are making baby clothes that don’t look foolish!

I have a pair of BabyLegs for my little bambino and we both love them! She 6 months old and has long legs, and they look so cute bunched up with a cute onesie on top. We have the “Argyle” print. I definitely need to buy more though because they are just too cute!

Baby slings are the most convenient way of carrying around your newborn. They are also quite fashionable too! They are available in a variety of fabrics and sizes.

I have been reviewing and testing different baby slings and wraps over the last 6 months. I just recently got the ultra cool Rockin’ Baby Sling and I LOVE IT! It’s just so chic!

I have the Rockin’ Baby Sling in the “Hold Me” print (#157).

The Rockin’ Baby Sling is a lot like the Maya Wrap.

It doesn’t come in different sizes like the Maya Wrap, but it does come in MUCH cooler prints. If you browse through their website, they currently have over 22 different prints that are doubled layered and reversible, offering more versatility than the Maya.

I did find that the Rockin’ Baby Sling had less slippery rings which makes it harder to adjust, but less likely to slip with heavier children. The material also feels more durable, like it may last much longer than the Maya.

Rockin’ Baby Sling also makes Rockin’ Baby Pouches! I haven’t tried their pouch, but they look like they are good quality and I just can’t get over the cool prints! So many different ones to choose from.

Another thing that makes the Rockin’ Baby Sling better than the Maya Wrap, is the tail has 2 pockets instead of 1. Although, the 2 pockets have a velcro closure and aren’t as secure as the Maya’s 1 zippered pocket.

I get lots of compliments when I’m wearing the Rockin’ Baby Sling. It’s a big hit in the mall! And it’s the same baby carrier that Gwen Stefani uses. How much cooler can you get?

The Rockin’ Baby Sling was made for the modern parent who wants to remain fashionable, functioning and true to their sense of self while nurturing their baby. The sling can be worn in 5 different carrying positions to match baby’s mood and development. It is great for nursing baby and for just getting around. Baby wearing has been shown to positively contribute to baby’s development and is an essential part of attachment parenting! A baby carrier is a fundamental baby accessory.

All slings are made of 100% cotton linen, cotton twill, cotton poplin, or cotton voile. Rockin’ Baby Slings are conceived and manufactured in Los Angeles, California, USA.

They have a fantastic FAQ’s section on their website to answer any questions you might have about their products. Plus, a great page that shows you a few of the different carrying positions you can use.

Although they run about $92 and up, I definitely recommend the Rockin’ Baby Sling!
