Tell us about your family (significant other, children, fur children, other pets, etc)
I’ve been married to my husband Hatim for 7 years and we have 2 sons, Laith 2 and Noor is 8mo old. We have 2 cats Bugga and KitKat and 8 chickens in our backyard.

When you were pregnant, did you plan on wearing your baby?
My sister gave me her Moby when I was pregnant with my first and from there I got introduced to CBW through another friend. After having him at 28wks I tried using the NooRoo shirt but didn’t find it comfortable. I then purchased a Ktan which I really enjoyed while he was little. So in short I never thought Babywearing would be a big part of my life but it has helped me so much with my first and second baby.

What do you love about babywearing?
I love the snuggles and convenience that babywearing offers. I don’t use it all the time in every situation but it is a great tool to have as a caregiver.

Which one of your carriers do you use the most and what do you love about it?
I am a buckle carrier and ring sling girl! My favorite buckle carrier is Kinderpack and I am awaiting my custom wrap conversion carriers to be completed shortly (so excited!!). Ring slings are great for quick up and downs, multiple stop trips and around the house use.

Tell us about your main role within the CBW Leadership Team?
Currently, I am the Treasurer for CBW. I also staff the Saturday meet up, am on the Lending Library committee, and help out in any other way I am available to.

What drew you to become a leader for our community?
I really liked the environment that the leaders of CBW created. They have a fun and welcoming vibe that made me feel comfortable and want to join them. I also love being able to help caregivers get the hang of babywearing so they have this tool available to them.

What activity are you most likely to rely on babywearing to get done?
Grocery shopping, doctor visits, play dates, parks and the list to could on and on but those are top on my list!

What skill do you hope to master over the next year? (does not have to be babywearing specific but it *can* be)
I would say toddler whisperer but I don’t want to set my self up to fail LOL!! I would like to learn more carries to better help people at Saturday meet ups.

General Review: The Flow stretchy wrap made by We Made Me is a breathable mesh stretchy wrap that has an encased elastic edge top and bottom rail unlike most stretchy wraps. It does only have one middle marker that is noted by a blue tag therefore, I did have to double check before tying the wrap completely. 
My youngest is turning 15 months old and is roughly 30 inches tall and approximately 22 pounds. Most stretchy wraps at this age and/or weight would be uncomfortable or saggy however I felt completely comfortable using it in the short amount of time that I had it on. The stretchy mesh combined with the encased edge helped to keep everything in place. It is light weight, cool feeling and if given the opportunity I would put my youngest in it again to run errands. 

Overall, this carrier is one size for the wearer and is tested for 0-24 months of age and 8-35 pounds. The Flow comes in pebble, black, lavender, and charcoal grey colors.

Although it is mesh, it is not safety tested for water use like a Beachfront Babywearing mesh wrap. Comparing stretchy wrap to stretchy wrap for everyday use, I’d compare the thinness to that of a Solly wrap. This carrier can be pre-tied and has the ability to take baby in and out easily.
