The Eco-baby Wrap

	The wrap is about 45 cm wide and a generous 5 m long, which allows for numerous ways of carrying babies and toddlers, front, side and back. Tying with a long piece of material is the oldest and most widely used way of carrying young ones, tested for centuries in cultures all over the world. The jersey material is made of 45% hemp and 55% organic cotton. Industrial hemp is the longest, strongest most durable natural fiber known to man, uses a fraction of water compared to cotton and does not require pesticides or herbicides when grown. It is therefore not only good for you and your baby and toddler, for bonding, settling etc, but it is also a good choice for the planet. In addition hemp has properties that make it especially suitable for this use: It has natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. It is very breathable, making it warm in winter and cool in summer. It has not been bleached and dyed, making it suitable even for the most sensitive baby skin. The stretchy material is especially suited for carrying babies in the first few months, as it is generally softer and gentler to the skin than for instance weaved wraps (often preferred for heavier babies and toddlers).
It comes with drawn instructions for various ways of carrying your baby, including one especially suited for breastfeeding hands-free. One of the easiest to learn and most versatile, suitable from birth, is probably the ‘front wrap cross’, as seen in most of the pictures here. I will ship worldwide, please inquire about postage costs. The wrap is lovingly handmade in Australia by fordicia.
