Ways to Break In Your Woven Wrap

You are over the moon when the much-awaited fluff mail arrives at your doorstep and you just could not wait another minute to try your precious woven wrap.

Woven Wraps can have different blends like pure cotton, part cotton/part linen, part cotton/part bamboo, and so on. It also depends on the type of weave the wrap has. A type of weave can be Fort Knox tight and can be a bit stubborn for use.

Before you get your squishy little bubba into the uppy, it is highly recommended to break it in first so it will be more manageable and comfortable for you and your baby. Washing it first is a MUST.

Here are a few ways:

1) Iron

2) Braid

3) Hammock

*** I also knotted it around the crib railings. ***

4) Use as play mat or blanket

5) Regular use (and take unlimited selfies!)

Great Image Family Photoshoot

The Christmas Holiday is fast approaching and it is a perfect time for families to get their photos taken. There are many options to choose from and we got ours from Great Image Studios. We went to Beloved Studios in Megamall which is also a sub-company of Great Images. We were accommodated by their manager, A and Joan, the photographer. They made us feel at ease and were very patient with giving us instructions and they especially loved working with Baby G. I can definitely say they are experienced with handling little kids with their energetic process of capturing memorable shots. Their photoshoot session starts as low as 350php. Great deal, right? The photos below are our high resolution digital files and we got ours sooner than we expected. :) The D'Towns are looking forward to our printed shots - will post them as soon as we get them!

Carrier Review: Soul Slings' Ring Sling - Double Layer Coal Chambray

Type of Carrier: Soul Slings’ Ring Sling Carrier details: Coal Chambray Double Layer (reversible); 100% linen; 28 inches wide and 83 Inches long Wrappee: BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper: small – chubby build Overview : I was very excited to try this when it first arrived. Aside from the fact that it’ll be my first ring sling to try, it is also from India. I just have to say that it arrived really fast via DHL; it just took less than 5 days. This ‘soul’ number is straight from the mystical land of India where it holds a pocketful of sleepy dust and cushion. A quick look at how it started: co-owner Chinmayie is a mother of two lovely children and discovered a need for better options than the standard bulky, padded carriers. Ring Slings were not available in India and she had to order from the US so, one day, she decided to take the reigns of design and business that’s when the Soul Slings was born. Design – Double layer...

Carrier Review: Baby SaBye Mei Tai

Type of Carrier: Baby SaBye Mei Tai Carrier details: Mei Tai - reversible blue and red; standard size; handwoven 100% natural cotton; vegetable dye The back is 14.5 inches (at waist) and 16 inches (at shoulder) wide; 17 inches tall without waist strap. Each shoulder strap is 9.5 to 10.5 inches wide, and 87 inches long. Waist strap is 3 inches wide and 69 inches long. Wrappee: BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper: small – chubby build –US size 10 First glance – Baby Sabye Mei Tai looked thick and a bit rough. This is my first time to try a mei tai and I had some reservations with the straps, the size where Baby G will “sit on” and if it can withstand Baby G’s weight on the get-go. When I tried tying the waist belt, it was crunchy and I made an effort to tighten the knot to secure it. The straps were thinner than the waist belt which was floppy and flexible. When I wore Baby G, it was an instant hit with us! ...
