Baby Wrap

Here is some information about the wrap.

-Erin: No, I do not get hot in the wrap at all. The fabric is a very light cotton(ish)?? type fabric and breathes well, so it is very comfortable to wear.

-I wore Siri in it again today for over 2 hours--no discomfort at all.

I bought the wrap though Suzanne, a lady that founded a charity. Here is what she wrote in the comment section of my previous post.

Great BabyWearing Photo! It is a Gypsy Mama wrap purchased thru MothersLove Charitable Foundation, established to share the Art of BabyWearing and provide free wraps for families in need. For more info on BabyWearing,to purchase a wrap, sponsor a wrap or volunteer for the Foundation, please contact me by email at motherslovecharitablefoundation@hotmail.com Happy BabyWearing! Suzanne

You can see a picture of my wrap here:

You can purchase this same wrap for the same price from Suzanne, and then the purchase goes toward the charity (which is what I did)!

I also have another really pretty wrap that I got from Suzanne that is much less expensive, and just as nice. I will post a picture of that wrap as soon as I get a picture of it.

Here is some more info Suzanne wrote me:

... I can help them with private consultation if needed. You could also mention that all the funds go to provide free wraps for the needy. Thru the Foundation, we have four options for wraps : the MotherslLove Charitable Foundation wraps that are made by volunteers to provide wraps at an economical price and also are gifted to needy families. There are three professionally made wraps that I carry: Gypsy Mama, Storchenwiege ( top of the line German woven wrap ), and EllaRoo (although I have not purchased any ER to date as the colors available were very limited). When the professional wraps are purchased thru the Foundation instead of a retail purchase, you can save on shipping and all the funding goes to help provide wraps for needy families I also just started to carry a wonderful DVD by Storchenweige on babywearing that is really great.

Also, people who are interested in sponsoring wraps for the needy is always appreciated and the Foundation also needs volunteers to share Baby Wearing with others and sewers.

So, to sum it all up:
I bought one MothersLove Charitable Foundation wrap (this is the more economical one) and I also bought a Gypsy Mama wrap through Suzanne, so the purchase would go to the charity. Hope this helps. Be sure to email Suzanne if you are interested in purchasing a wrap through the foundation.

Here is a good website, and has some good instructions/videos of how to use and wear the wraps:
