Hug A Bub Baby Carrier



This is one of my favourite baby products on the market! 

This baby sling saved me when my son was little and had reflux. He wouldn't sleep lying down as it made his reflux worse, and he was in pain all the time (until we got the medication sorted out). A friend suggested I carry him in a sling, but as I have back problems, I wasn't sure about thisidea. 

Then, I found the Hug a Bub baby sling


The Hug a Bub is so comfortable and easy to use. On a cold morning, I would put on the sling before getting in the car to take my daughters to school, then pop the baby into it as soon as we got there. He was snug and safe, and more often than not, would fall asleep straight away. 

It was a saviour! I could do the washing, clean the house, do groceries, all with him snug and close to me. He loved it was was calmed every time he was in it. It supports their tiny heads so that you can bend over and they don't wobble around like other carriers. 

The Hug a Bub is available in 7 different colours and retails for AUD$120 

head support
The wide shoulder wraps double up to provide the most secure support for babies’ head and neck. It is ideal for newborns and premature or sleeping babies.

back support
The hug-a-bub’s ergonomic design, wraps around your torso, from shoulders to hips, reducing unnecessary strain on your shoulders, neck and back. It is recommended by physiotherapists for those with some chronic back problems.

hands free
Due to its unique wrap style, the
 hug-a-bub® baby carrier offers a firm and secure hold that allows you to have your hands completely free. When desired, you can even bend forward without your baby dropping away from your body.

step-by-step dvd
Included with your
 hug-a-bub® baby carrier is a step-by-step instructional dvd that demonstrates a simple tying method, how to place your baby in any of the 4 different positions, a few handy hints on how tho get the most out of your hug-a-bub® in both hot and cold climates and last but not least some important information about the benefits babywearing has to offer.

security 
When worn correctly the
 hug-a-bub® is one of the most secure baby carriers on the market. There are no clips or buckles to break or seams to come undone. It is even possible to bend over completely without fear of your baby falling out.

breast feeding
There are two positions that may be suitable for breastfeeding your baby discretely and comfortably: either horizontally or vertically, depending on the babies size and the size of the mother’s breasts. (Some women with very large breasts have expressed difficulty breastfeeding in the
 hug-a-bub®)

I can not recommend this baby sling enough! It is so comfortable to wear, and babies just love it! There is also a range Organic Cotton slings

Have a look at their website for more information
