Dittany is a flower found on the island of Crete, and has been referenced in literature going all the back to Homer and The Iliad. Shepherds discovered sheep that had been wounded by arrows during battle would climb the mountain to eat the Dittany flower. The sheep would live, and Dittany has continued to be used internally and externally as a healing and pain relieving herb.
In the same way that the Dittany herb soothed and calmed wounded sheep, Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tais offer comfort and soothing to babies who may be startled and jarred to suddenly find themselves outside the comforting womb environment. Your baby can be worn in the Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai from their first days of life and will continue to be comfortably worn until they are up to three years old.
The straps of a Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai are made with 200 thread count supreme broadcloth for excellent support and sturdiness, and the body is Damask on Taffeta or Microsuede, lined with cozy Minky Fleece, which offers a wonderful sensory experience for baby as well as added warmth for snuggling through the winter. You and your baby will feel pampered by the luxurious materials of the Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai.
Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tais are the ultimate in versatility – one size carrier fits a wide variety of caregivers as the top straps and buckled waist adjust to fit the wearer. The Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai is incredibly secure. The waist strap has a two-inch slip lock buckle to ensure the straps stay locked down. The top straps are secured simply by tying a knot, as generations of Asian women have done to carry babies in the same style of carrier for thousands of years.
The Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai can be worn on front, back or hip, and is excellent for discreet nursing on-the-go. The head support can be left up to support a tiny baby’s head or to shield a sleeping baby from stimulation, and when baby wakes or an older toddler wants to keep their arms out of the carrier, the support can be folded down. In the Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai, the weight of your baby or toddler is distributed to your hips, back and shoulders for long-term comfort. Light padding in the shoulder straps adds extra comfort for the wearer, and light contouring in the sides adds extra comfort for the baby.
Because of the luxurious nature of the fabrics, the Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tai must be hand washed and line dried. Dittany Baby Luxury Contoured Mei Tais are always made in the USA, as are all the packaging materials in any Dittany order. Dittany Baby strives to stand by American families in every possible way and soothe babies with the ancient tradition of a healing herb.
