Sleepy Wrap Classic Wrap Baby Carrier, Royal Blue, 0-18 Months

Riley
While waiting to board a plane I noticed a woman with her baby sleeping soundly swaddled in this wonderful creation while she paid attention to her other child. Having just become a grandmother , I had to ask her about the wrap which she absolutly raved about, saying she had several and wouldn't be without them and that she still used it for her 3 year old. I ordered one for my daughter in law ,who had never seen one............well, she cannot imagine being without it now either.......not only has it given her and the new baby more freedom, the physical comfort they both experience is wonderful. Sometimes the baby just needs to be cuddled and walked for awhile, this keeps mother's back from straining and the baby feels secure and comforted. The instructions are simple, the fabric is soft and comfortable , but most of all, the baby is happy.

The one I can't live without
This has been a sanity-saver for me around the house. Having both hands free while carrying baby is the first goal, and the second is getting baby to sleep. The Sleepy Wrap does both for us. I bought it because I knew my little man couldn't go in the Bjorn until 8 pounds. Now that he's 12 pounds, I still choose it more often than the Bjorn or other slings, because it feels so secure and isn't hard on my back. Because it needs to be tied, it isn't the most convenient for in-and-out trips, such as from the car into a store. So it may not be the only carrier you need. But I think it's the most indispensable. My 2-month old fights sleep in the daytime, but has never been able to hold out for more than 10 minutes in the Sleepy Wrap.

Super Comfortable Works Great
This wrap works so well. It keeps my baby snug and close to my body. She almost always falls asleep when I put her in. I love the fact that it is comfortable to wear and doesn't hurt my back. I would recommend this to anyone with a new baby.

A lifesaver
I received the Sleepy Wrap as a baby shower gift, and it has proven itself to be a fantastic product. My son is currently 4 months old, and he is a frequent eater (breastfeeds every 1-2 hours) who takes very few daytime naps. He also wants to be held constantly and cries if laid down or left alone too long. The Sleepy Wrap is the only way I can get him to nap longer than 30 minutes during the day! He will often sleep for 2-3 hours in the wrap, waking for a snack and then back off to sleep. I'm a full-time student taking classes online, and I can study and surf the internet with baby wrapped against me! It's the only way I can get things done during the day. If you are a fan of Attachment Parenting, this product is perfect.

I also use the Wrap when going out and about. I simply put the wrap on at home, then transfer him into the wrap from the car seat and carry him with me in stores, at the mall, etc. He either looks around happily or sleeps peacefully. A much better alternative than carrying a carseat, lugging along a stroller, or finding a shopping cart to place the carseat into. The Wrap is extremely comfortable when standing or walking, and I have no problems with back or neck pain while carrying my son, who is currently 15 lbs.

My son was developing a flat spot on his head, and one of the ways I helped treat this was by keeping him in the Wrap. There is no external pressure on his head, so it's much better than laying him in a swing, bouncer or crib.

I can even breastfeed my son in the Wrap. The website says no repositioning is required, but I find that I do have to reposition my son, from side to side and sometimes further down my chest, in order to feed him. It is not a completely discreet way to feed, so I use my Jelly Bean nursing cover over it.

If you have a fussy or needy baby, I highly recommend getting this wrap. We also have a Baby Bjorn, which my husband often wears, and he prefers the Sleepy Wrap for both his and baby's comfort.

The only con of the Sleepy Wrap is that it takes practice to put it on just right, but after about a dozen times it becomes second nature. Also, as I mentioned above, I do have to reposition him to nurse, which often leaves the Wrap stretched and I have to re-wrap it in order to get the snug fit I desire.

not the greatest
I bought this wrap for my newborn and I loved it at first, but after he started growing, the fabric sagged A LOT. I would recommend it for newborns, but thats it. My son is now three months old and I have recently purchased a different wrap with much more success and comfort. My son isn't too heavy for this one and he doesn't sag down.
