choosing a wrap

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I had the ultimate baby wrap when my daughter was little (ended up selling it), and I just loved it. I'm due in june and want to purchase another wrap, there is just so many to choose from!! I would like to get something a little cooler since i'll have her in the summer. Is there any wraps that has been cool for you? I've been looking at the Bali Breeze wraps. Any other suggestions?
What are the best wraps for carrying a newborn? and i've never been about to nurse in them, has anyone been successful in nursing in a wrap?
one last question.... what wraps are best for carrying a toddler?

Thanks!!

Congratulations! I love my EllaRoo wraps for thin coolness!

Gauze is probably the coolest of all, so that's a good place to look--I love the designs of the Wrapsody wraps!

I think any non-stretchy wrap is going to be cooler than a stretchy wrap like the Ultimate Baby Wrap, but any baby carrier is going to be hot in the summer (babies are hot!).

I have no trouble nursing in a wrap, and my theory is that it is related to my small breast size. But busty mamas do it too! Here are some videos to get you started:

The Wrapsody/ Bali Breeze are gorgeous, and the Wrap 'n Wear is also a cool, cotton gauze wrap! It comes with a lovely DVD, but for my summer wrap, I'm going for a Bali Breeze

What are the best wraps for carrying a newborn?
A stretchy wrap is pure heaven for a newborn!!! There are a few to choose from, like the Moby or the Sleepy!

and i've never been about to nurse in them, has anyone been successful in nursing in a wrap?
Yes, definitely! You just have to practice...

one last question.... what wraps are best for carrying a toddler?
With a toddler, you don't want to use a stretchy wrap because it won't support your LO's weight as well as a woven wrap! So, any of the woven wraps will do a great job, and you can use them for newborns too! Like the Hoppediz, Girasol, BB Slen, or Neobulle
