Sleepy Wrap Review and Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for entering!*

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am a big advocate of baby wearing. The benefits for both momma and baby are numerous. Baby is nestled close to momma, where he or she wants to be. Baby cries less. Momma has her hands free to do other tasks such as caring for older children. Momma and baby are happy. Those are only some of the many benefits to baby-wearing.

Recently, I had the opportunity to review an amazing product called the Sleepy Wrap. Originally when I was offered to be sent one to review, I was thinking I'd be the one to wear Abigail. However, an arm injury has prevented me from doing so. Therefore, I had my sister test out the Sleepy Wrap for me. She loves it! She is especially happy with how comfortable it is to wear- no straps digging into her body. She said that Abigail feels completely snug and safe in the Sleepy Wrap, as well. Upon first taking it out of the package, I was worried that we would never figure out how to use it, but the instuctions are simple to follow. When she was putting the Sleepy Wrap on, I was impressed by the quality of the product; the Sleepy Wrap is made with a fantactically soft fabric with a bit of spandex in it to keep Abigail snug.


From the Sleepy Wrap website:

The Sleepy Wrap baby carrier securely holds your little one close to you. Our baby wrap is specially designed for your baby's first year of life, yet you may comfortably carry your baby for as long as you both desire. Time and time again you will find your baby sleeping peacefully against your chest.

There are many different hands-free baby carriers to choose from. Yet, carrying your baby in a Sleepy Wrap will make a difference in your babywearing experience. Here are some of the reasons-

*gives great support for little heads and necks -especially when your baby falls asleep

*your baby fits just perfectly every time! -no guessing how much room you will need to leave for you baby to fit inside without being too tight or too loose

*custom fit- simply tie the wrap carrier snug against your body and no matter what body type you are, it will fit!

*good quality fabric -heavier cotton knit with a touch of spandex-the ideal material for babywearing

*discreet nursing is no problem -no need to take the baby out of the wrap baby carrier or use any special attachments for privacy

*your baby’s hips and legs are supported and not just hanging down

*no pressure points on your baby -no pressure on developing hips or spines like other hard baby carriers which place pressure on your baby’s pelvis

*holds your baby high -the fabric bounces back unlike the t-shirt like material of other stretchy baby wraps to keep your baby snug against your chest

*durable -sturdy fabric that doesn’t stretch out or change shape with repeated washing or babywearing

*feels soft on your baby’s skin

*adjustable -just enough give so that there is no need for readjusting

*much more snug than a car seat or other bulky carrier

*grows with you and your baby -it's optimal for infants yet you may continue to carry your baby with this wrap baby carrier as long as you are both comfortable

*no baby is too small -the baby wrap is designed for the tiniest of babies. See our FAQ page.

*ideal for kangaroo care - premature infants thrive when wrapped in a Sleepy Wrap

*one size fits all -adults of all sizes can comfortably wear and share the wrap

*bilateral -wide straps over both shoulders so that there is no lopsided feeling like with babywearing in a sling

*no time limit to how long your baby can stay in the wrap -there are no pressure points on mom or baby so you may carry your baby as long as you and your baby are comfortable

*no digging straps or poking buckles or buttons -simple design

*evenly distributes the weight of your baby-much more supported than carrying with your arms, on one shoulder, or your hip

*instructions are included -no extras to buy

*perfect for traveling -compact and great on uneven terrain or crowded places

*cleans up nice -wash, tumble dry and go!

*comfortable -moves with you instead of restricting you

*affordable- a great value seeing that your baby will probably begin to walk on his own before he outgrows the wrap

*natural sleep solution -no plastic, no music, no bouncy seat-just you- calming and soothing your baby with your warmth, your voice, your scent, your movement and your heartbeat. There is no more natural way to put your baby to sleep.

Bottom Line:
I highly recommend the Sleepy Wrap for its quality construction, ease of use, and affordable price ($38.95)
