Our #carrymyjoy chronicles is our customer focused initiative which we started late last year to showcase how our families enjoy their Joy&Joe baby wraps carriers on a typical day via vlogs(video vlogs). Our carrymyjoy vlogs are fun, engaging and enlightening. Please click here to watch all their vlogs all on one page.

Q1: Can you please tell us about how you discovered babywearing 

I'm a very active person and living in rural wales there are lots hills, and uneven terrain. I always knew that a buggy wasn't going to work for us, so started looking at alternative methods o
f infant transportation, which is when I stumbled upon Babywearing, and never looked back. 

Q2: What do you love most about babywearing your child/children and what challenges did you face while babywearing

My favourite part of babywearing is the community. I have made so many friends, lots whom I know will become lifelong friends. They have been with me through ups and downs, sad times and happy ones, and have really become my second family. It was our love of babywearing that brought us all together, but even though our slinging days our growing shorter, we are closer than ever before. 

Q3: So tell us about when you started vlogging?

A friend of mine persuaded me to enter, I didn't think I'd be any good, or have the time, but it's been much simpler than I thought it would be. 

Q4: What is your favourite vlog so far of all the #carrrmyjoy vlogs you've done?

I love my 5th vlog (https://youtu.be/WjUCGL_8uq8) which was a quick ruck filmed from the floor. It shows how quick and simple wrapping can be.
I also love my second vlog (https://youtu.be/BeIsImrZPY0) which has really hardly any babywearing in it at all! 

Q5: For people looking to join the #carrymyjoy vlogging network. What advice do you have for them?

Go for it! It's a fab opportunity and a lot of fun. The vlogs really don't have to be fancy, basic video editing apps on a smart phone is the limit of my capabilities, so what ever you produce will be better than anything I've made. 

Q5: What advice do you have for parents considering babywearing?

I'd suggest finding your local sling meet or library. A sling library is a fantastic resource where parents and carers can see and try out a wide variety of slings and carriers to find the one that works best for them. 

Q6: Of all the Joy&Joe wraps that you've worn, which is your favourite?

I love the new signature weave, and the design and feel of the Fountain of Love wraps, but my heart belongs to a J&J original, my lambswool Maxi-Roses OOAK.

Q7: Any other thing you would like us to know about you?

I'm a babywearing consultant who covers the majority of Mid-Wales, and I run the sling meet and library in Aberystwyth. I've also trained will all 3 of the UK babywearing schools (Slingababy, Trageschule and School of Babywearing) and I'm BABI registered.

Q1: Can you please tell us how you discovered babywearing 
A friend that I met in an antenatal class introduced me to it.
Q2: What do you love most about babywearing your child/children and what challenges did you face while babywearing

I love having her so close. I was unable to breastfeed and found that wearing her helped me bond with her. She had pretty horrendous reflux which meant often we'd both be covered in sick when wearing, but we powered through. This is why I have lots of carriers!
Q3: So tell us about when you started vlogging?
I was still fairly new to babywearing, my husband had bought me a Joy and Joe Luceo Non Uro wrap and I saw the ad for vloggers on Joy and Joe's page. I entered and it went from there! 
Q4: What is your favourite vlog so far of all the #carrrmyjoy vlogs you've done? 
Hmm... probably the one where Sam (my husband) was recording and fell over his own feet! 
Q5: For people looking to join the #carrymyjoy vlogging network. What advice do you have for them? 
When recording, don't flip between landscape and portrait! I always forget this.
Q5: What advice do you have for parents considering babywearing?
There are tons of different carriers,so if the one you have tried isn't working for don't give up! Try and find a local sling library and get yourself along to a meet - the librarian will be able to help you find something that works.
Q6: Of all the Joy&Joe wraps that you've worn, which is your favourite? Mine is Luceo Non Uro,I love the pattern, and the significance behind it. 
Q7: Any other thing you would like us to know about you? I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when I've stopped babywearing!

Q1: Can you please tell us how you discovered babywearing 
I discovered about babywearing on facebook mother groups.
Then I joined a babywearing group and learned about the right ways to baby wear.


Q2: What do you love most about babywearing your child/children and what challenges did you face while babywearing
Danny was a very fussy baby, without the baby wrap he would cry most of the time.
At 2 months old we found out that he had hidden reflux and dairy allergy,
babywearing helped with the reflux, because being upright was more comfortable for him,
the crying became a lot less since I stopped consuming dairy products.
I think the biggest challenges were how to react on negative comments when I was wearing Danny.
I always responded with some reply telling that Danny loves it very much and it is much more cozy then 
using a stroller.

Q3: So tell us about when you started vlogging?
I started my Youtube channel in 2006, mostly I posted random stuff, at some point I got fascinated by Japan and in 2012 I made daily vlogs during one of my trips to Japan, I have been there 7 times.
November 2014 I started making weekly vlogs about our live with a child, I am now at vlog no. 43.

Q4: What is your favourite vlog so far of all the #carrrmyjoy vlogs you've done?
(I have made this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist... )
I think this video is my favorite #carrymyjoy videohttps://youtu.be/OPi0iM0me7o...
I love the woods and this wrap matches it so perfectly!

Q5: For people looking to join the #carrymyjoy vlogging network. What advice do you have for them?
Sometimes it might be a bit hard to find new subject to film, but try to see what lives in the babywearing community. For instance, I saw some mama’s asking for a ruck tying video, since they love to see it from someone they know, so this is the next video on my to-do-list.

Q5: What advice do you have for parents considering babywearing?
Take your time with learning how to tie, don’t be afraid to ask help online or in real life!
Other mama’s are happy to help you out, we all were beginners once!

Q6: Of all the Joy&Joe wraps that you've worn, which is your favourite?
Fountain of love, black x white was my favorite Joy & Joe wrap that I have tried.
It is so pretty and soft and luxurious! 

Q7: Any other thing you would like us to know about you?
My passion is all over the place, that is why I make a lot of different video’s on my Youtube channel.
From Fashion, to make-up, to cooking to babywearing! It might seem confusing, but that is just all that I love
