Baby Carrier Review Sites

I have had a few customers email me today regarding TheBabyWearer.com, saying we should put our link there. I finally (after a year or 2) submitted our Bamboo Baby Wraps to the Product Review portion (at thebabywearer.com ). I thought we were already on that part, but realized we were on the VENDOR Review portion:) Mommy brain! When we are live on the site, I will go ahead and post the link (it takes up to 3 days) I would love for past customers to post their reviews there!
Questions?
Thanks!

Jealously when a New Baby Arrives

Having a 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc child can be dramatic for your child. When my son was 2 1/2 we had our daughter. The transition from one child to two was easy for me. My daughter would be wrapped closely to me, while I ran after my son. Grocery shopping, I wrapped the wrap before we went, much easier then struggling with an infant carrier that never fits the shopping carts.

Because we did everything we did before, my son didn't feel neglected, or that his new sister was a interfering with our special time. I was able to spend time doing all of the fun things we did before!
Look out for our Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, make sure to sign up for our newsletter:) We will announce the sale there!

Please email me at SugarSweetBaby@gmail.com with questions, orders, etc. I will be more then happy to email you pictures of our products. Because of the on-going problems with our Web Host we will be switching as soon as our site is back up. Thank you and Happy Babywearing!

A great Thank you From one of our Favorite Customers

Hello there,
I just wanted to say, thank you so much for the beautiful wrap you made for me in a hurry so that I could attend a wedding in style and comfort back in August. I can't tell you how many compliments I get on it. Also, I can wear it all day, the baby loves it and so does my back. We have gone to see grandparents in California and Canada and the wrap is amazing for travel. The material is light, soft and breathable enough that I can keep it on on the plane without drowning in fabric and pop the babe in and out no problem. Also, to breast feed, I take the baby out and pull the material on the shoulder down. It's the perfect cover up and quiet space for baby. Baby is secure and comforted in busy places and we have taken it in all sorts of situations; hiking, the beach, restaurants, long city walks, you name it. I wanted to include some pics of happy mum and babe, so there is a pic in Cali at the beach and one just a couple days ago in Brooklyn. I've given out your website info to other moms and nannies so I hope to see more sugarsweetbaby wrap sightings in Brooklyn.

Thank you! best Sara and Owen, 3 1/2 mos old

Turning Bjorner's to Believers - Of Wraps that is!

I got an email from a friend last night that had a baby in March. She went on a playdate with another customer-turned friend in the area (She has 2 wraps from me).. Anyway this is what the email says:

"Lara,
I saw Julie today and she let me try one of your wraps. I have to admit I was a little intimidated at first. But, once I put the baby in it ---- GENIUS!! Andrew is well over 13 pounds and my back has been killing me lugging him around. I have the Baby Bjorn and he (and I) just don't love it. The wrap felt so secure and it almost instantly relieved my back pain. I definitely want -- no -- NEED to have one! I'll go on your website and order one as soon as possible. Just wanted you to know how much I liked it.
Danielle"

I know that alot of Mom's see wraps as "Too Much work" believe me I was one of them and now look what happened:-) I wear Callie everyday, started a business making them. My daughter Callie who is alittle over 11 months is over 20 lbs. And yes I HAVE NO BACK PAIN!!!! Yay!!!

The perfect model

Yesterday, we went to the park and met up with a customer that I am now friends with in my area. She has a 6 week old son and a 2 1/2 yr old boy. She picked out a new wrap and I had her model for me. Thank you Julie! Andre is the little one in the wrap, Julie says that she can not imagine not having one of my wraps for her son. (I wonder if she'll mind if I take more pictures of her in my wraps:-)

I got the nicest note today from a very nice Mommie today. She just received a custom wrap, she choose a White Bamboo Baby Wrap with the Green Wallflower print. This is what she wrote:

Aloha Lara,

I just received my baby wrap today and wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with it. I Purchased this wrap for my fourth child due in June. I have used baby wraps for my other children and I am a firm believer in baby wearing, I have even made several carriers myself :) When I saw that you offer wraps made of bamboo I was thrilled! I love how soft bamboo is and how good it is for sensitive skin. When I received my carrier I was double pleased by how pretty it is and how well it's made. Thank you for the great product.

I am a photographer who specializes in maternity and child photography which puts me in close contact with lots of new mommies. I love to support working mothers brave enough to have their own business, especially ones who offer a product that I whole heartedly believe in, so if you would like I would love to share your name. If your interested you could send me some of your business cards and I would be happy to include them with my goodies for new mommies.You offer a great product and I know I personally will be ordering from you again!

Please email me or call me if your interested, either way thank you again for my amazing new wrap :)

Aloha
Charity

New Fabric Selections/New Category!

This weekend we will be adding a few new patterns to choose from. There will be more designs from Amy Butler, Alexander Henry and Joel Dewberry. I have had them in stock for awhile but had a glitch in my photo-editing program, so I could not resize the pictures. I am very excited to show you the new prints!

We have also added a new category!
http://www.sugarsweetbaby.com/category_21/Plus-Size-Bamboo-Baby-Wraps.htm Let's face it every woman is not a size 2 through 14. If you have a larger chest, a Wrap is the perfect carrier because there is not a gap between you and your baby. Currently I have Brown Bamboo Baby Wraps that can be customized to fit any size. Please allow extra time for making Plus Size Wraps. If you have any questions on whether you should purchase a Plus Size Wrap please feel free to email me at anytime at info@SugarSweetBaby.com

New Category 100% Certified Organic Cotton Baby Wraps

We have added a new category! 100% Certified Cotton Baby Wraps http://www.sugarsweetbaby.com/category_20/Organic-Cotton-Baby-Wraps.htm

Limited quantities are available. I should be receiving more soon. Organic Cotton Wraps currently come in Black and Brown, coming soon a light pink and more colors. What is the difference between Organic Cotton Baby Wraps and Bamboo you ask?

Bamboo wicks away moisture, is hypoallergnic, anti-bacterial, and biodegradable, just to name a few benefits. As Organic Cotton is a Green fabric, they do not have the above mentioned characteristics.

Last Day to save 20%!

Today is the last day to save 20% off your order! I have had many Momma's giving Bamboo Baby Wraps as gifts:-)

New Bamboo Baby Wraps

A few new Bamboo Baby Wraps have been added to my Site. More to come shortly! See all of our new selections in the Bamboo Baby Wrap Category

I have also added a new Cotton Baby Wrap. The color is a lighter brown and is soft and lightweight! This Cream Floral Charm print is also available on Brown Bamboo.

Pardon our Appearance!

We are in the midst of taking new pictures of new Wraps that I have made! A few of the pictures have to be redone but I have gotten in a few new fabrics that I am very excited about! New fabrics include: Pink Polka Dots on Brown Bamboo, the picture doesn't do the wrap justice, so I need another one done. I also have a Blue with Metro Cicles, Hot Pink with Metro Circles (looks great on brown since the design in brown). There are a few more fabrics that I haven't mentioned, I just need to time to get them on the site. Please email me with questions, I would be more then happy to email you the new pictures! The Brown Bamboo Wrap shown is with Hot Pink Metro Circles.

Baby Wearing in the Winter, You can do it!

I've been asked from many people lately, "How do you Baby Wear in the Winter". There are many ways to do this. One for example, when I go grocery shopping, I wrap my Sugar Sweet Baby Bamboo Baby Wrap before I leave the house and put my coat on over it. I get my toddler, Logan out of the car first, hold his hand, then take Callie out of the carseat, go into the store. I take my coat off take Callie's coat off, get her in the wrap, and then put Logan in the cart. MUCH easier then any other option in my opinion! And now if you are a neighbor on my street, you know that I constantly wear Callie regardless of the weather. A few weeks ago I took a walk with another family in a snow storm, it wasn't the best idea, but we all had cabin fever! Anyway, since my stroller is inmy mud room and there was about 18 inches of snow, there was no way I would get that stroller out! I wrapped Callie in my Wrap and put my snowboarding jacket over her and I, and of course her hat, pants, baby legwarmers and boots. I pulled Logan along in one of those pull-sleds. I should have asked my neighbor to take a picture of us!

Baby legwarmers in my house are a necessity. I put them on Callie each day, over or under her pants depending on what kind of pants she is wearing. I found that when she wears tight leggings and boots, I put them on over her boots and they stay on better. And plus they just look cute!

Jessica Alba's Bamboo Baby Wrap!

We are so excited to be apart of Jessica Alba's Gift Basket. I picked a Black Orchid Zen Bamboo Baby Wrap for her and her daughter, Honor to enjoy! More celebrities to come!
