My Little Miss certainly loves to be held, so I was excited to review the Organic Sleepy Wrap.  And I have to say that I couldn’t be happier.

About Sleepy Wrap:

“NAP, Inc.’s mission is to provide comfortable and durable baby wraps to parents throughout the world and to give them a helping hand in raising confident, joyful and compassionate children. We hope to enhance the bond between mother and child by enabling both to be close and connected to each other in a practical yet magical sort of way.  It is so easy to place “things” between mother and baby, especially in today’s society.  A great majority of the baby gear out there although intended to help a mother out actually ends up hindering her by further separating her both physically and emotionally from her child.  Often times, rubber, plastic and fuzzy blankets end up substituting and even end up replacing Mother.  This is not to say that life shouldn’t be made easier for mom. A mom who carries her baby or wears her baby can show her affection without effort. She can respond to her baby’s cues because she is right there. Communication happens easier because she is right there.  Baby is content because all his needs are being met and he trusts that they will continue to be met. When a baby knows that his attentive mom is present and can hear her heartbeat and her familiar voice he is a calm and happy baby. A mother who holds and carries baby is constantly given the reaffirmation that all that her baby really needs – is her!

When a mother shares her life and space and moves with her baby through her day she will fall in love with her child.  She will naturally treat her baby with understanding, compassion and respect from which will blossom a loving relationship based on trust.  This “trust” is critical as it is the basis not only for a child’s healthy neurological, behavioral, and social development, but sets the stage for which that child will build and form all of his subsequent relationships throughout his life. Babies who have their early needs met by loving parents will know how to create enduring relationships. Having been treated with love and respect, they will grow up to have the freedom to use their time in creative and meaningful ways and continue to transform into their greatest potential.

The warmth and empathy that comes when we as mothers carry our own is truly profound and cannot be underestimated. Children are the pedestal on which the future of our world rests – investing in their well-being is well worth it!”

“A baby wrap has no clasps or rings. It is a simple piece of long cloth wrapped around your body and your baby. Wrap baby carriers offer many different positions for holding your baby at various ages.”

Benefits of Carrying Your Baby:

• Creates confident parents -there’s no better feeling than when your baby is calm and content because you have met all her needs
• Allows you to safely move about with your baby regardless of terrain- you can stroll down uneven sidewalks, narrow lanes, walk up stairs, or climb mountain
• Is convenient- there is no awkwardness like when carrying a heavy plastic car seat with one arm!
• Enables better communication between you and your baby – (without your baby having to cry!) as you become attuned to her facial expressions and other gestures
• Provides security-access to food, warmth, and love
• Is good for your soul -it encourages you to get out and get some exercise and some fresh air into your lungs
• Makes discreet nursing possible-without having to find a place to sit
• 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
• Allows you to decide who may touch or interact with your baby
• Aids digestion- the constant motion and the upright position eases acid reflux and colic
• Allows you to go places, together!- you can go anywhere and feel secure.

My Review:
I just love the Sleepy Wrap.  I have tried other slings and carriers, but the sleepy wrap was the most comfortable for both myself and my husband.  We can both use the same wrap which is great, no worrying about what size to buy!  I have found that I can wear it for prolonged periods without pain in my shoulders and back.  It is really easy to put on, and the wrap come with instructions on the various wrap methods. The fabric is soft and durable, and it comes in a variety of colors in either the classic or organic fabric.  I so enjoy having my baby close, while having hands free movement to clean, or while playing with Mr. Toddler.  But the best reviewer is Little Miss herself, she enjoys being wrapped!  She stops fussing and is happy to be carried about.

If you are a new mom, or if you need a baby shower gift, I highly recommend the Sleepy Wrap as a great baby accessory!

In dealing with Mr. Toddler and his eating habits, I am always worried about what he is eating, or if he getting enough nutrition in his day to day diet.  Mr. Toddler is a very picky eater!  I recently had the opportunity to try Gerber Graduates Snacks with Mr. Toddler through being a buzz agent. I was excited to try the cereal twist bars, which seemed like a healthy snack that Mr. Toddler might actually eat.
