Psychologist Harry Harlow once performed an experiment in which baby monkeys were given a choice between a 'mother' made of wire, which dispensed food, or a 'mother' made of soft cloth, but that did not dispense food. The need for affection won out over the need for food. Baby monkeys preferred to snuggle with a soft, cloth 'mother' than one with food. Human babies, too, want to be kept close and snuggled close to their mother's heart.
Karma Baby Reversible Pouches were designed by a mom with a Master's degree in Transperonal Psychology. She wrote her thesis on children who were not able to bond with their mothers after birth. Realizing through her work how important those first few years of life are for a small child, she chose to stay home when her baby was born. She also knew from her studies that traditional cultures had been babywearing for thousands of years. When Elijah was born, she tried many different baby carriers available on the market. When none of them met her needs, Karma Baby Carrier was born.
The goal of Karma Baby Carriers is simple: to help families bond with their babies in the best possible way. Karma Baby Reversible Pouches are a versatile way to meet this goal. Karma Baby Reversible Pouches come with a fun, eye-catching print on one side and a soft solid on the other. The solid side often makes babywearing more attractive to dads who might be scared off by a flowery print. A solid will also complement nearly anything in your wardrobe. A print is great for when you want to feel stylish and get noticed! On both sides, there's a convenient pocket for carrying extra essentials likes keys, diapers, or your cell phone.
Karma Baby Reversible Pouches are the simplest carrier around. There are no straps, rings, buckles, or adjustments to make. With one sling, you can carry your child in five different positions from newborn to toddler. You buy a Karma Baby Reversible Pouch to fit the babywearer's body, and the same pouch will grow with your baby through different ages and stages.
When your baby is newborn, a Karma Baby Reversible Pouch is excellent for discreet breastfeeding on the move. You can wear your baby in a cradle carry, curled up just like in the womb. As your baby gets a little bigger, you can wear them tummy to tummy or facing out. When your baby is old enough to sit up, you can wear them on your hip, and a toddler can even be worn in a Karma Baby Reversible Pouch on your back.
Karma Baby Reversible Pouches are made of the highest quality 100% cottons. Many have micro-brushed twill on the solid side, which is soft and cozy for a tiny baby snuggling down deep inside the pouch. Most Karma Baby Reversible Pouches have leg padding, which cushions the baby's thighs in any carry where the baby's legs are outside the pouch. It is a sleek padding that does not add bulk or weight. Karma Baby Reversible Pouches will shrink approximately one inch when washed cold and line dried.
