The makers of the CuddlyWrap™ believe one of the most important needs of a newborn is to be held in close contact with their mother, father, or caregiver, giving the babies security out in the world, and helping parents keep a closer eye on their baby's cues and needs.
The CuddlyWrap™ is a single piece of stretchy, supportive fabric that wraps around the body of the wearer, distributing the baby's weight across the entire back and shoulders, and supporting the baby's weight in an ergonomically correct position. There is a slight learning curve to the CuddlyWrap™, but once you get it down it is very simple to use. There are no seams, straps, snaps, or buckles to adjust, break or lose. Once you've tied the CuddlyWrap™ on, you can leave it on even after you've taken the baby out, making it easy to simply pop the baby back in.
The CuddlyWrap™ is made of 100% certified organic cotton. The makers of the CuddlyWrap™ are committed to the environment, Fair Trade labor practices and quality craftsmanship. Conventional cotton growing practices are one of the largest polluters of the environment. To put that in perspective: if the CuddlyWrap™ were made of non-organic cotton, it would take well over two pounds of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to produce the cotton needed to make the wrap.
Buying an organic CuddlyWrap™ gives you peace of mind when your baby is chewing on the side of the wrap, as they undoubtedly will. It also gives you the peace of mind that you have supported organic farming practices and have not contributed to putting farm workers at risk. Additionally, the organic cotton fibers of the CuddlyWrap™ are softer and stronger since they have not been assaulted with harsh chemicals used in processing and dyeing.
The CuddlyWrap™ can be used from birth, unlike some mainstream carriers that have a minimum weight. In fact, the CuddlyWrap™ can even be used for premature babies. From inside the safety and security of the CuddlyWrap™, the premature baby gets vestibular support as the boundaries and movements mimic the womb. The close proximity with their caregiver's heartbeat, voice, scent and warmth supports the premature baby's optimal development.
The CuddlyWrap™ also offers safe, ergonomic support for children with cerebral palsy or hemiplegia, tactile stimulation for babies with visual impairments and visual and vestibular stimulation for deaf babies. Babies who require extra sensory input can be soothed in the CuddlyWrap™ while their vestibular and sensory systems are challenged and stimulated in a safe environment.
Whatever your baby's needs, the CuddlyWrap™ offers a safe, secure environment that's also comfortable and convenient for you. Your hands will be free to cook, care for an older child, work on the computer, or whatever else you need to do - all the while keeping your baby as close as possible.
