Wearing Jayden in the Sleepy Wrap at Chili’s. (click to enlarge)

Jayden is one who does NOT like to lay down! If you do so much as to tilt him like you’re going to lay him down, he will start to fuss. Although he loves his bouncer, he will only tolerate it for so long. So when he refuses to nap on his own or sit in his bouncer, I pull out the Sleepy Wrap! *insert super hero music here*

Oh how Jayden and I just love our Sleepy Wrap! It has become a product that we use for hours each day. It is something we absolutely cannot go without. I can just pop him in the Sleepy Wrap, continue working on the computer, or pick up around the house. Jayden can be screaming one minute and knocked out within 5 minutes after putting him inside. If he wakes up to nurse, I don’t even have to take him out. Just pop out one of the girls for an easy and discreet nursing. Jayden feels safe knowing he is attached to his Mommy and Mommy gets the joy of watching her little man peacefully chuckling and snorting while sleeping.

The Sleepy Wrap is so comfy! It is made out of a fabric that resembles stretchy cotton jogging pants, heavy cotton knit with a touch of spandex to be exact. Wearing the Sleepy Wrap is like literally wearing a favorite relax in shirt with a baby attached to the front, lol. I love how the Sleepy Wrap supports my back, Jayden’s hips, bottom, and legs. No skin chaffing, muscle tearing, or back breaking involved!

The Sleepy Wrap is durable and machine washable. Jayden occasionally spits up and poops on ours, so it has been through many wash cycles. The Sleepy Wrap is such a great investment. It wouldn’t hurt to have more than one on hand. They come in 12 natural colors which should go with any outfit. Since I wear a lot of browns, that is the color that I chose. My next choice would be grey. The Sleepy Wrap is a must have for babywearing mamas, papas, and munchkins!

We made it home from Chicago 5pm-ish. I spent the first 3 hours of being home getting our little booger situated, keeping him happy. Right now I’m guzzling a 46 oz bottle of Cranergy while rocking him back and forth in the Sleepy Wrap (A GINORMOUS LIFE SAVER!). He’s been sleeping good. I’m getting over a pounding headache. Daddy’s home from work so now I will be taking my daily 5 minute shower!

We have a lot of work to do at home and with Mommy Daddy Blog. I better get started after my shower. Below is a video from the road today!

Our little man is growing up so fast! *tear*

Long before learning about the baby wearing movement, I wanted to wear my “future” child. I just couldn’t picture myself doing tasks around the house without my child being by my side. I couldn’t picture myself pushing those bulky strollers while traveling either, goodness why do they still make those things anyway? Now I realize the MANY benefits of baby wearing and I want to make sure that we as a family can take full advantage of them. According to Dr. Sears, babies who are worn seem to cry less, get “humanized” earlier, learn more, and are smarter and more organized than babies who aren’t worn.

About 2 years ago I was introduced to baby slings, pouches, and mei tai’s just by randomly browsing the web. I thought these carriers were so cool and they seemed very easy to use. They are made simple, come in gorgeous fabrics, and babies and their mothers absolutely love them. I already have a Peekaboo Pouch baby sling and I am going to be purchasing quite a few slings from Slinglings. I don’t intend on purchasing any type of carrier that resembles a back pack, just for the record. Those seem to be too bulky and can cause muscle and back problems in the babies that are worn in them.

Alright baby wearing mamas it’s time for some questions. What is your favorite baby carrier and why?
