Living with a disability has it’s ups and downs, but how will Lio be affected by growing up around disability? His immune system seems to be very good, which I am sure is due to lots of different people […]

Babywearing with a Disability Twist

March 22, 2016 by Erin Andrews 5 Comments

Babywearing with a Disability Twist

Babywearing is all the rage, at least here in Austin, Texas! Using a sling or baby carrier can be a great option for many disabled parents and may provide an alternative to a stroller, or help free up your hands to, oh, I don’t know, actually do something when you have a baby. Here’s my […]
