Product Information

And, it gives mum a break, too, particularly in the early months when they may feel like they don’t get a moment to themselves, or when they get a big heavier later in the months post birth. Stop being too nervous to contribute to a conversation. If you don’t have anything to add, then (humbly) learn. Ask questions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being the least knowledgeable person in the room – in fact, it’s a privilege for you to use wisely. Make the most of it, make connections, and learn what you can, both in that room and later on (so you don’t end up there again for that particular subject!). If you can’t be seen to be contributing, be seen to be learning. It’s just as good. What is your next challenge and what are you hoping to achieve in the future? I have mentored in the past and loved every moment of it, but if anyone reading fancies mentoring me then that would be amazing too! If you could change one thing to accelerate the pace of change for Gender Equality, what would it be?

Carry your baby HANDS FREE! There's nothing in the world that compares to the feeling of a sleeping child against your chest, the sweet-smelling, down-covered head under your nose. In the early days with a newborn, mothers have time to enjoy these moments. Ensure your baby can breathe easily, and keep an eye out for any trip hazards that may obstruct your path. You need to support your baby at all times while feeding, but using a wrap gives you more freedom generally. After feeding, change the position of your little one, making sure their head is facing up as well as being clear of the sling wrap and your body. The difference between baby wraps and slings is actually pretty simple. Wraps are typically secured around you and baby by tying a knot, while a sling tends to be secured with a set of rings - it's down to preference what you prefer. Can I breastfeed my baby in a sling wrap? All slings come in a huge range of colours, designs and weaves, some of which are highly sought after.It is one size fits all. All parents and all babies. As I mentioned our 18 month old fit in and I still had plenty of fabric to spare. Dad is taller than I am – but he’s had a go too and it’s just as comfortable on him. Is the Amawrap adaptable? PREMIUM COTTON BLEND: A soft, lightweight, breathable fabric, with just the right amount of stretch. Made with natural cotton and ZERO harmful chemicals. The superior quality ensures years of repeated use, and it’s machine washable too. Breastfeeding is easier on the go – Mums can feed while using the baby wrap, with nobody being any the wiser! No longer do you have to stop what you are doing, find a place to sit, and get your baby out of the pram. Charlotte: For the price and time it takes to put on and adjust I would prefer to use a newborn sling with more structure and safety features. Other competitors offer a sling which is ready to use straight away once put on without worrying if they're in it correctly. Although with this style of wrap it is lovely to feel baby so close to you as if they are part of you, I just felt worried about the support it was giving.

EXCELLENT FOR PROLONGED USE: Traditional baby carriers become loose during use and therefore require frequent binding. Koala Cuddle Band will always remain in place thanks to its ring closure. Moreover any adjustments will be very simple. Material: 65% polyester, 30% cotton, 5% spandex (only in one direction) Babywearing in a baby sling isn’t just about parental convenience – although leaving the house without a cumbersome buggy can feel a lot less restrictive for parents and it's a lot less hassle when going on public transport. Catia: I think this product should be considered to win best wrap because it is great, it folds really well, you can easily take it with you in your changing bag. Fabric is very soft, there’s many colours to choose from, it’s very long in length so anyone can use it, even men. It’s a light fabric so it’s great for summer. Sophie: The only restriction was I couldn't see that the child is able to forward face in the sling, which is preferred for the older child ( I found from 12 months my children would prefer to look outwards). This could restrict the use for some children and parents. In general a well made product that has been well researched and supported.

This is a good idea if you need advice on baby carrying or are not sure what style would suit you best. Keeping this business going for nearly ten years! In ten years the amount of comments I have received from mums who have thanked me for helping them to keep their babies close, for listening to them when they have felt especially vulnerable, for video chatting with them to help if they felt overwhelmed, for donating our wraps to organisations supporting new mums.

A baby sling wrap can be stretchy or sturdy, with one piece of material that you wrap around your body to distribute your baby’s body weight evenly. I’m going to also add equality for BAME people too. We not only need better representation, but also a better understanding on the disparities and inequality which got us here. If you don’t know how you got here, how can you understand how you move forward? Catia: This wrap did help me a lot, my son is a baby that wants to be held all the time, so this was a god send. I put my son on the wrap and he goes to sleep straight away, and it’s so easy to put on and take it off. Also having three children, being hands free on the school run it’s great. It’s great to do some housework, also I was really amazed that I managed to breastfeed my son while having him wrapped. Education – our current education system is geared one way – towards telling the story of white men. We need to understand and be taught about the contributions of women, and of people of colour too. Breaking these stereotypes alone will help future generations to be more open to people from all walks of life. When Shabs, the owner of Amawrap, first had her daughter she realised that the much talked about ‘bond’ was not there immediately, due to her difficult pregnancy and birth.Bag slings, which are worn messenger-bag style across your body, are unsafe as they’ve been associated with a risk of suffocation.
