I was thrilled when So Nurturing asked me to do a review and giveaway of one of their baby wraps!
I have had a sling for the last few babies, but I was always concerned about how the babies’ heads were prone to be covered up by the thick, bunched up fabric.
Well, it turned out that my sling is identical to the slings recalled because of three infant deaths!
I had always loved how I could carry the baby, hands free, while I was walking and working around the house, or at church, or the grocery store, but I now knew I wanted something different than that old style sling.
That’s why I jumped at the chance to try out one of these nifty baby wraps. As soon as mine came in the mail, I studied the video of how to tie my wrap so I would be ready to try it out once my new baby was born.
I took me next to no time at all to figure out how to wear the wrap and I had my 15yo help me put the baby in it the first time to make sure I was doing it right.
After that, I was a pro at it, and I could not believe how the baby seemed to love being in it. I think being snuggled up next to me was comforting to her.
The verdict is: THIS BABY WRAP Works For Me! What about you? Would you like to win one of these?

How fun! I also had one of those slings that had been recalled. I like the green and brown paisley wrap. And it looks like I might be the first commenter…woohoo!!
Your baby is adorable! I like the Soft Dark Brown Bubble one.
Oh, I’d love to be entered! I like the soft pink giraffe. Thanks!
I love babywearing. I used a pink wrap for my girls, but now I have a little boy and he looks a little strange wrapped in pink. I’d love the Stripes and Blue Dots/Brown.
Congrats on your new baby. She is adorable and your family is lovely also.
Green and Brown Paisley, Cuddly-Soft is my favorite!
Oh, this would be great for my baby (due Thursday!). I love the stripes and blue dots/brown.

I would love to win this for our new baby due in November!
I’m not a wrap expert by any means, but I do think the baby needs to be a bit higher, so her chest is higher on your chest.

@Sadie, Thank you! I’m new at these kinds of carriers, so those links were very helpful!

@Smockity Frocks, Yay! I’m glad you weren’t offended by the links, but I do know new carriers have a bit of a learning curve! I haven’t used a wrap myself yet (just ring slings and mei tais), but I have a lot of friends who make or sell them and remembered these links being posted when the recall on the bag slings was first announced. Good luck with your baby wearing adventures!
I love using a wrap and desparately need a new one!
Love the Stripes brown/green paisley or the blue and brown dots and stripes.

Blue and brown dots/stripes – very cute!
I love the party dots on brown! so cute!
You know, I have always wanted to try a sling! My first had the worst colic- I could not put her down for the first 5 months of her life. A sling would have been such a lifesaver. I’m pregnant with another baby girl whose womb personality is so much like her sister’s that I’m beginning to think a sling would be a very very good thing… :-/
I personally liked the light pink dots on brown. I am all about the pink and brown with this baby…
Oh and that sweet little face peeking out of your sling- precious!

How fun! Mine got recalled and we are about to have another baby in July. This would be so perfect!
Well if I can’t have the baby, I’d settle for the Green and Brown Paisley. I love the look of that wrap.
I love the Stripes brown/green paisley pattern. Iv always wanted to try a wrap, but they were a but out of my budget with my first two babies, Im due with #3 in November, so Im hoping to try one out finally with this one. Great giveaway! Congrats again on your sweet babe:)
I like the Green & Brown argyle! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’m a FB fan of So Nurturing now too:)
I love the party dots on brown! It’s so cheerful and bright… might just help fight those baby blues!
I love the Baby Green one…it’s so stylish and cute! I’m due in October with my first and am really wanting a wrap so I can try and multitask around the house after having my baby:) Thanks for such a great contest!
I like the plain ones, though I don’t see a list of colors anywhere? Hmm. The pictured green is lovely anyway! Thanks for the chance!
I think I’d go with a cuddle soft wrap. Fun!

I love the two sided wraps. All of them are so cute!! I really like the tri-leaf/floating bubble. Goes boy or girl! Great!

I love the reversible in blue with brown dots and stripes. I used a Baby Bjorn with my other three but would love to try one of these with my fourth:)
I love the brown cuddle soft!
I’m having my second child in August. I’ve seen several friends who have these types of wraps and am interested in trying one out. I like the pink & brown dots fabric.
I’m not entering the giveaway, just wanted to comment that you’ll probably find this sling a lot more comfortable on your back and shoulders than the one you had (that was recalled). Those baby bag type slings seem to be slung too low and are harder to adjust properly, nice and high to avoid strain. Enjoy that baby – she doesn’t look like a newborn, she looks like she’s 3 or 4 months old! Born a little lady already.
I’m only a few weeks behind you.
This is a great wrap. I think I would love just a plain wrap.
I love the brown and blue dots and stripes. I am expecting my first child in December and I would LOVE to win!
I love the soft pink giraffe one! Those are adorable! I do love my Ergo carrier but would like a sling wrap for certain situations – like church!
I like the cuddle-soft wraps.

Party Dots on Brown or Green and Brown Paisley would be fantastic. We are due with our fifth baby in November, everyone is wishing for a boy so I couldn’t pick girly girly colors, now could I? {;0)
I love the green/lilac/hexagon/floral pattern. Think this would be great for a newborn!
Oh, I know someone who would love this. I like the strips brown and paisley:) And I love the sweet picture of you two!
My fav is the pink/blue floral and bubbles reversable wrap
I like the plain wraps the best, but the reversible ones all look neat.
Green/brown paisley for sure!

Those look really neat. I have a baby coming in September and one of those slings would look really nice probably be really nice for the baby. One of my friends on Facebook posted that she signed up for this and I looked to see what it was all about and I like them. My favorite for my husband and I would be the soft brown cuddly material. Great website
I’d love the green & brown paisley!
The baby looks just like you! Especially around the mouth. So cute : )

I’m a simple girl… one of the plain ones would suit me best. I couldn’t find a list of the colors for the plain wraps; maybe that could be easier to find? Something neutral like brown or grey would be nice.
I love the paisley; hope I win, I could use one to hold our new baby with the other little ones around.

I love the DOTS! Blue, pink or multi even. So cute… but not as ADORABLE as your little peanut!!! What a cute pix in the wrap.
Love it!
We LOVE babywearing!! I think the Soft pink Giraffe print is gorgeous!! We are giraffe freaks!!
Green Dots on Brown for me :^)
Green & Brown Paisley :0)
I would love the Pink & Brown Dots.
I really, really like the stripes with the blue dots. I wish I had had one for my other kids.
I am excited to see the So Nurturing website. I love to carry my babies in a pack but have not found a newborn wrap or pack I like. This looks like it may be a perfect wrap for my tenth little one born nine weeks ago! I would love to get the soft pink dots on brown.
I like the fact that both shoulders seem to carry the weight of the baby equally.
On their video it looks like the wrap folds-up pretty small. Is it something that you could leave in your diaper bag without taking up a lot of space?
Being a mom who needs to lose 30 pounds I’m glad they showed pictures of moms of all sizes.
I love the brown and green paisley!
You look amazing! And Peyton is so adorable!!

stripes/brown&green paisley is my fav
Teddy bear brown looks so awesome! For this I’d be willing to pay the postage lol.
Oh I think the soft light brown bubble looks great–especially since I’m not sure if I’m having a boy or a girl.
I love this in the soft black bubble

What a neat wrap. I have one type, but have never seen these before. I’m due in less than two weeks and would that be a fun treat for me…and baby
I think I’m loving the lilac and green reversible the best. The floral and hexagon combo is cool!
Thanks for the giveaway,
Heather
Oh, how fun! I’m another fan of the green and brown paisley.
I shared this on facebook!
Awwww….does the little sweetheart in the pics come, too? Just kidding, but those little eyes peeking over the top of the wrap are just too precious!
After a trip of to the sponsor’s site, I must say that I’m torn between the green and brown paisley and the pink and brown dots.. but since it’s spring and I have a lot of pink baby outfits, I’ll go with the pink and brown polka dot wrap.
Oo! I like the blue on brown and stripes.
I am expecting our fifth child in the fall and am an avid baby wearer. I love the brown and blue dot one. One can never have too many wraps. They are my favorite and I use them daily. Having a second one would be great when one needs washing.
I looooove the paisley one!
I had an old sling with the last baby. This would make grocery shopping with all the kids much easier! I like the baby blue giraff (it would match his diaper bag!)

Congratulations to you!
I love these! We’re expecting our third child in September, and the Blue and Brown dots would be super cute to wrap him up in!
Got a 3 month old that needs a new form of transport besides the heavy car seat/carrier.
I LOVE the stripes/ brown and green paisley wrap! The idea of a hands free carrier that is easy to put on and wear sounds great! I have a 2.5 month old and am hoping to have many more!
I tweeted about this contest and your site!
I like the soft pink dots on brown. I would love to win this for my daughter-in-law. It would be so helpful in so many ways. I wish they had these 26 years ago.
Oh so many great colors and prints! I THINK I like the Green &Brown Paisley the best.
I am having my third baby this October and have been looking at wraps. Before your post I had never heard of this brand. I love the brown polka dot one. They are all adorable though.
With my other two kiddo’s I had a Bjorn active that I loved but I passed it one as I thought I was done with the baby stage. I loved being hands free with the kids and having them close to me. It was the only way my oldest would nap! Now though I can’t see spending that kind of money. Bjorns are just too pricey. Besides that I like the idea of supporting a smaller company.
Thank you for sharing this with your readers.
I’m having my first girl in September and would love this! I love the pink cheetah and the pink giraffe.
I can’t decide which one I like better: Green/Lilac Hexagon/Floral or Tri-Leaf & Bubbles! So cute!

I like the green/lilac reversible.
I like the white dots on black, party dots on brown, and blue giraffe. I have been looking for a good carrier for a newborn/small infant, since I will have one soon.
WOW I LOVE all of those patterns. The cuddlesoft wrap looks great… LOVE the following patterns:
baby blue giraffe
CHEETAH PRINT!
Party Dots on Brown.

I’m due with #6. I’ve never actually used a wrap. I love them, but never gave them a try. The sling I used was the one that had the recall on it. I would love to try a wrap. I like the party dots on brown.
