Becoming Mamas is a blog by two mamas, Meredith and Holly. We started this blog in hopes that we could reach an audience who practice attachment parenting and natural living but still live the “real world.” You know, the world where we serve our kids canned beans sometimes instead of making them from scratch, but still push companies to stop filling those cans with BPA. It is also a world where we think it is totally okay to sleep in the same bed as your kids or let them sleep in a crib. Work or stay home. Eat organic or not. Hold your baby all day or put them down sometimes when you need a break. Our culture isn’t always accommodating to mamas, especially those who want to breastfeed in public or avoid chemicals in everything we eat. We try our best, just like you.
Meredith and Callum
Holly and Gavin
Meredith is our babywearing and baby carrier guru! She has extensive experience with baby carriers, especially wraps. She wrote our Guide to Babywearing. She is also a breastfeeding, co-sleeping, cloth diapering, PhDing Mama!
Holly is also a babywearing, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and cloth-diapering (okay, still using ‘sposies too!) Mama. Holly works, but found some balance between work and being a mom by cutting back some hours once her baby was born. Holly tends to be consumed with health and environmental issues and how these issues affect our children and our children’s future.
