Organic Sleepy Wrap Review & {GIVEAWAY!!}


I think baby wearing is important and creates a special bond with the mother and child. For this reason, I was so excited for the opportunity to review the Organic Sleepy Wrap. This baby carrier is appropriate for newborns all the way to one year. I found this wrap particularly special because you can carry your baby chest-to-chest, frontwards, or in the hammock hold.
The Organic Wrap is made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex. The fabric is super soft, comfortable, and stretches just enough so your baby can safely, but comfortably be close to mommy.
The wrap is easy to tie around your body. You actually set up the wrap without carrying your child, keeping your baby safe the entire time. Because you wrap the fabric around your upper body, waist, and shoulders, your child's weight is evenly distributed, making your baby feel lightweight and keeping your shoulders and back from getting sore. Sleepy Wrap actually provides step-by-step instructions to correctly tie the wrap. These instructions are for the basic tying method, applicable to all three holds. You may view the Sleepy Wrap instructions here.
WIN IT!!

  1. it helps you to interact with your other children and hold your baby close at the same time- very practical if you have other little ones. Which is why I made a wrap for myself, I have an almost 6month old and a 3.5yr old and its hard to deal with both and its nice to have a wrap

  10. One benefit of baby wearing is that it is good for your soul -it encourages you to get out and get some exercise and some fresh air into your lungs.

  129. "Allows you to decide who may touch or interact with your baby." I love that one! I am always way paranoid about my baby getting sick, especially new babies. I also like the ability to wear one and still interact with the others (older sisters age 3 and 2!). I have always wanted one of these, and three babies later I still don't have one!
