Introducing...Alli

I am Alli @mikasphotomama​ a professional photographer and linguist. I have been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past 10 years.  I am the amma of Annamika (2.5 years old, 26lbs) and Sidhartha (one month old, 9 lbs) and wife and partner-in-crime to Santoash.

I have been wrapping Annamika since she was a month old, and was fortunate to fall in love with Poinsettia Etini, when Annamika was only 3 months old, starting me on an epic journey of Pavo love.

My wrap quality preferences are quite varied, and depend on the size of my wrappee, the carry, the weather, my mood and my very picky toddler's preference of the moment (for the moment Sidhartha is happy with whatever he goes up in).

I have "favorite wraps" all over the spectrum of gsm, density, stretchiness, etc. However, my favorite carry for my toddler is a Double Hammock TUB, and I prefer a more sturdy, stretchy wrap (diagonal stretch helps me to get a nicer chest pass on my larger chest).

My top Pavos for Toddler DHs are Farrand, Perigee, Sparkleberry, Lofi, Lovebirds (full cotton) and Trillium. For my squish, I prefer a thinner, softer, more moldable and less textured wrap (Form wraps, especially swallowtail and Acanthus have been my go to so far, though my very broken in Perigee and Miel are favorites too!).

Sidhartha is very lucky to have a big sister who is happy to share her wraps and wrapper (me) and has so far only claimed one wrap that he is not allowed to go up in so far, Sparkleberry Geranium, her most favorite wrap.

Santoash, who has mastered the FWCC, Ruck and DH, refuses to geek out with me on wrapping characteristics. He does have a strong preference for the "whitish wrap with white stripes on it" (Miel) because he likes the feeling on his shoulders and how easy it is to tighten. ​
