Ok, so I see all these expensive wraps and carriers, and I hear a lot moms saying they are uncomfortable, hard to nurse in, or baby doesn't like them. That's how my DD was. He wouldn't sit in anything!! I mean anything, not the bouncy, not the floor, not the boppy, not the swing, not a bumbo seat, not the sling, not the carseat. NOTHING. I found this online

And it saved my sanity and my screaming baby. I have given one to all of my girl friends, and have even "wrapped" my sister with my DD while I went out. She loved it, he loved it, and I found it's so much easier than lugging a car seat to the grocery store, or a stoller on a walk. Also, every time I vacuumed, it automatically became nap time for baby, no joke, within 2 min, he was out!!!
This is what I did, I went to Hobby Lobby (or any fabric store) bought 5.5 yrds of t shirt like material, cut it in half LONG ways so I had two 5.5 yrd pieces of fabric. One I gave away to a mom who lugged a stroller to the dollar store with me, while I had mine on, and I felt sorry for her. She now uses it all the time. Another girlfriend of mine, I gave her one for her baby shower as she fell in love with mine while pregnant, and she kept one in car and one at home. I plan on being a PP Doula and am going to give one free to every mom I work with. I couldn't mother without it. I think total, for both, it cost 20$! Can't beat that!
Also, VERY easy to nurse it, and if you are just around the house doing random stuff, wear the wrap with no shirt if you want to give baby easy access to boob. Also, great for bonding if can't nurse (we couldn't) and great for helping milk production if you are stuggling to nurse.
