Babylonia Tricot Slen Cool Draagdoek
A soft, stretchy baby wrap in breathable 'Cool' fabric - keeps your baby close without overheating.
A wrap keeps your newborn warm against you while leaving your hands free - lovely for bonding and practical around the house. Babylonia's Tricot Slen is stretchy (ties comfortably and supportively) and made of airy 'Cool' fabric, which sheds heat better than a regular wrap. One-size, so suitable for different wearers. A lovely, thoughtful gift for (expecting) parents around 85 euro.
Reasons to buy
- Stretchy jersey wrap: comfortable to tie with good support
- 'Cool' fabric breathes better - less quick to overheat baby and wearer
- One-size: fits different wearers (mum and dad)
- Keeps your hands free and your baby close and secure against you
Watch-outs
- Stretchy wraps are mainly for the first months/lighter babies
- Tying takes some practice (there are handy videos)
- A lot of fabric to wear - in summer, even with 'Cool', it takes getting used to
Why a wrap
Being carried close reassures babies: they hear your heartbeat, feel your warmth and often cry less. For the parent it means free hands to do something while the baby lies content against you. Especially in the first months, when babies seek lots of closeness, a soft wrap is worth its weight in gold.
Why the 'Cool' version
A regular stretchy wrap consists of several layers of fabric, which can get warm. Babylonia's Cool fabric is airier and sheds heat better, so baby and wearer overheat less quickly - nice in a warm home or the warmer season. You learn the tie fastest with an instruction video.
Who is it a good gift for?
A much-loved new-baby gift for expecting or new parents. Stretchy wraps are ideal for the newborn period. Less suitable for a heavier toddler (then look at a carrier or woven wrap); check the weight guidance.
