Wear your baby and enjoy hands free motherhood. At least for a little while!



Baby wearing is and has been practiced around the world for thousands of years. Wearing your baby is the action of the definition of human bonding. It reduces crying and colic, enhances learning and bonding; and best of all allows you to carry your baby hands free! I wore my little bird in a wrap sling for about 7 months straight, while working, shopping, hiking and traveling. Pretty much until he was too big to just pop in and go. (darn it, how they grow!) It was great for nursing and napping without having to stop what I was doing, and it was so comfortable and secure, I felt like I could run a marathon with it on.(if only I could actually RUN a marathon...)It's great for Dads, Grandparents, and caregivers too! Ok-So here are the goods! The Organic wrap from Sleepy Wrap. The key to a great wrap sling is the stretchiness. When it has a good amount of give to the fabric, you can put it in tightly, put the baby in, keeping them securely bundled up right next to your heart!
It may seem a bit daunting at first to look at roughly 5 yards of fabric and ponder how to put it on, but this yummy wrap comes with detailed instructions for how to put it on, and several different carrying positions. When all else fails, you can always go to Youtube for video instructions by searching for "wrap sling". The Pump Station even gives free, weekly sling clinics! (they rule!) *A trick the lovely ladies at the Hollywood Pump Station told me; once you get the sling on, just leave it on. Put the baby in and take them out as you need, but then you don't need to worry about taking it off and putting it back on continuously. Don't worry though, after a few times, you'll be a pro, and you'll be slinging (couldn't resist!) it's praises! Only $59.95 for all of this Orgainc goodness, and it comes in Natural, Khaki, or Black (my personal fave-goes with everything) Buy it here!
Sleepy Wrap's tag line is "The best place after the womb" I couldn't agree more!
This company walks the walk too. They generously support and donate to not for profit organizations around the country and France, such as La Leche League and WIC programs (Women Infant Children). Inspiring!
