Product Information

C is for Close enough to kiss. You should be able to kiss the top of your baby's head easily while they are in the carrier, but make sure they can still move their head freely. We also need to make boardrooms more diverse. Look at what Justin Trudeau did when he first went into office. Did you ever see his ministers when he first took office? The Minister of Health was a doctor. Minister of Transport – an astronaut. Minister of National Defence – a Sikh Veteran. Minister of Sport and persons with disabilities – a visually impaired Paralympian. I could go on. 50 per cent of the cabinet were women. This is how you make progress. When these people’s voices are heard, and when these people, with their lived experiences, are shaping policies moving forward, we will see actual change. If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self what would it be?

All slings come in a huge range of colours, designs and weaves, some of which are highly sought after. 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. Learning. Learning every step of the way. Eight years on and I’m still learning, and I’m still talking to mommas every day. More than anything, I was that momma who needed the help and who needed that sling to survive. I was that momma who needed a baby wrap for my firstborn to help with my postnatal depression and I was also that momma who needed the sling for my second to help me to run after my first born! For both kids my need was different. First time it was the skin-to-skin, the second time it was for the convenience. How do you feel about mentoring? Have you mentored anyone or are you someone’s mentee? 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?

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. Both of these types of sling typically involve baby in a seating position facing their parent, or perched on a parent's hip. 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. 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.

There are other benefits of using an Amawrap baby sling, too, including less colic and reflux. Keeping your child upright in an Amawrap baby sling wrap aids digestion, and also serves as a gentle massage to babys stomach. 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. 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 godsend. 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. 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? The best baby slings are comfortable for parents and babies, and, best of all, let parents get stuff done while keeping baby snugThis may come down to your preference and baby's comfort - but there are multiple positions you can try with your sling depending on the design. We discuss the safety of doing so below, but if you're anxious about trying to put your baby in a sling or wrap, practice with a doll or something similar first. Just to get a sense of what you're doing. How to use your baby sling wrap safely

Firstly, the 100% cotton sling was so soft and incredibly lightweight. Having used a similar style sling in the past, I noticed the difference in the quality of the fabric straight away and wondered if it would be strong enough to hold my wiggly 18 month daughter. We went for oyster grey which is a lovely neutral colour to wear with any outfit and which my hubby is happy to wear too. The story of Amawrap Featured in our essential guide to the best baby slings and wraps How did this product make your life easier?And for being able to keep it going no matter what. I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum when pregnant with my second which made it incredibly difficult to work (imagine having norovirus on top of the worst hangover you will ever experience, and you have those eight months!). He turned up six weeks early and we spent a few weeks in hospital, so I spent many an hour working from there while looking after my new-born and getting to grips with breastfeeding. Instances like that helped me to understand that if I looked after Amawrap, Amawrap would look after me when I needed it to.
