A guest post by Kristy Smith

Approximately 5 months ago I booked a week-long vacation for my family at a rustic little cottage on Golden Lake. About 8 weeks ago we welcomed a new baby boy into our family. 1 week ago while my 4-year-old son was playing at the beach in front of the cottage, many inquiries were made about the age of our 7-week-old son. Words like brave were thrown around and later one mom even told me she secretly thought I was crazy.

That was before she figured out my secret.  

It's out of the bag now, so I might as well share it. I am in *love* with my Sleepy Wrap.

It gives me phenomenal super powers. The ability to put a baby to sleep in seconds, carry a baby around for hours pain-free, take a baby where strollers don't go, and most importantly - the ability to actually *use* my hands!

It makes me invincible.

I spent hours on the beach while baby boy slept peacefully snuggled up against me. I even took him fishing (strangely, he didn't catch anything). With him sleeping in the wrap I was able to sit on the dock and video tape my 4-year-old as he caught 4 fish! Thank you, Sleepy Wrap.

 

The weather wasn’t great last week so there only so much playing at the beach we could do. So we decided to go spelunking. Bonnechere Caves was close by and I love cave exploration. Stroller? HA. Real spelunkers need a Sleepy Wrap.

I strapped on the baby and he became the world's youngest spelunker. Or at least the youngest one on our guided tour...

 

He kept me warm through the whole tour and slept peacefully as we saw fossilzed cephlapods, stalactites and the giant sinkhole.

Of course, the Sleepy Wrap also works magically when your child is forward facing. Another family that we met on the beach decided to create a treasure hunt for the kids. They drew up cards with pictures of various places around the campsites and split the kids into teams to follow the clues and find the treasure (candy, of course). I thought this was more of a forward-facing carry kind of event.

He lasted 10 minutes before he fell asleep, even facing forward. I swear, the Sleepy Wrap really does have the magical powers of sleep. Facing forwards or backwards, no baby stands a chance against it.

By the end of the week nobody thought I was crazy. Instead, they were asking me where I got my wrap and if it was comfortable. Let me say - I have used many wraps, slings, carriers, etc and this is by far my favourite. It distributes the weight evenly, it doesn't dig in to me, and with the right top, I can breastfeed discreetly while wearing it. To sweeten the deal, it's only $50 (eat your heart our baby bjorn!) and you can buy it locally, right here at Chiquita Baby.
