 A lifesaver Feb 24, 2010
By A. Carpio
"New Mom"
I received the Sleepy Wrap as a baby shower gift, and it has proven itself to be a fantastic product. My son is currently 4 months old, and he is a frequent eater (breastfeeds every 1-2 hours) who takes very few daytime naps. He also wants to be held constantly and cries if laid down or left alone too long. The Sleepy Wrap is the only way I can get him to nap longer than 30 minutes during the day! He will often sleep for 2-3 hours in the wrap, waking for a snack and then back off to sleep. I'm a full-time student taking classes online, and I can study and surf the internet with baby wrapped against me! It's the only way I can get things done during the day. If you are a fan of Attachment Parenting, this product is perfect.
I also use the Wrap when going out and about. I simply put the wrap on at home, then transfer him into the wrap from the car seat and carry him with me in stores, at the mall, etc. He either looks around happily or sleeps peacefully. A much better alternative than carrying a carseat, lugging along a stroller, or finding a shopping cart to place the carseat into. The Wrap is extremely comfortable when standing or walking, and I have no problems with back or neck pain while carrying my son, who is currently 15 lbs.
My son was developing a flat spot on his head, and one of the ways I helped treat this was by keeping him in the Wrap. There is no external pressure on his head, so it's much better than laying him in a swing, bouncer or crib.
I can even breastfeed my son in the Wrap. The website says no repositioning is required, but I find that I do have to reposition my son, from side to side and sometimes further down my chest, in order to feed him. It is not a completely discreet way to feed, so I use my Jelly Bean nursing cover over it.
If you have a fussy or needy baby, I highly recommend getting this wrap. We also have a Baby Bjorn, which my husband often wears, and he prefers the Sleepy Wrap for both his and baby's comfort.
The only con of the Sleepy Wrap is that it takes practice to put it on just right, but after about a dozen times it becomes second nature. Also, as I mentioned above, I do have to reposition him to nurse, which often leaves the Wrap stretched and I have to re-wrap it in order to get the snug fit I desire.

A Must! You will love it and so will your baby!!! Jul 28, 2009

"New Mommy Now"
I saw this wrap in use at the Baby Time Expo. The lady had a 18 month old big boy in it. He was happy and so was she. I wanted one but thought I can do without. I WAS WRONG! The moment I got this I put it on (easy) and slid my daughter in it. Instant bliss. This is the only carrier that has supported my lower back and abs. Ladies we know how hard it is to get those lower abs back after pregnancy. I feel no pull on my body or shoulders. The material is super soft like a t-shirt. Moves with you supporting both you and your baby without restriction. Fits all size babies easy.(Mine is long and skinny and nothing has held her secure.) This will be my baby shower gift to everyone from now on!

My Baby and I Both LOVE Our Sleepy Wrap! Dec 05, 2010
By KrisD
I ordered our Sleepy Wrap a little over a week after my little guy was born. He was (and still is) a gassy boy and always liked to be held upright; in the beginning, it seemed that was the only way he would nap (unless he was nursing)!! The Sleepy Wrap was wonderful for both in the house and when we were out and about. He would cry and scream in his carseat in the stores, but almost never a peep came out of him when he was snuggled next to Mommy in the Sleepy Wrap! He is now a big 20 pound 6 month old and we still use it (just today at the grocery store, in fact; he fell asleep for half the trip :)).
It does take a little getting used to putting it on and takes a few minutes to get on and adjust, but is SO worth it! I like to put it on me before we leave the house and then put him in it while sitting in the back seat of my car. I do want to say that you should not worry about wrapping it on too tight; it has such great stretch that, even if you put it on as tight as you can on yourself, and it seems there is no way you will get your little one in there...don't worry, you will. It takes some adjusting, but the more snug it is, the more comfortable it is for me and my little man.
This is definitely one of our BEST baby purchases!!

Far exceeds the Moby Jan 02, 2012
By Momtotwo
For all of those thinking the Moby is the greatest thing ever, the Sleepy Wrap takes things up a notch. It works just like the Moby, there are no buckles to dig into your chest or back. However the Sleepy Wrap is 5% spandex!!! What a difference a little spandex makes. You never have to guess how tight to wrap it to make room for your baby. Just stretch it snug around your body and it will stretch more for your baby! There is always more stretch to it but it never gets "worn out." You also never have to rewrap or readjust when you take your baby out to ride in the car, change their diaper, etc. The quality and comfort of the Sleepy Wrap is amazing as well. It is 95% cotton, so it still breathes well, and is soooo soft. It washes very well, and after a year of use it still looks new. I washed it when I bought it and it did shrink a little, but it was perfect because it is very long. The little bit of shrinking it did made the "leftover wrap" that hung not so long. I used it almost daily the first year. We chose to use a convertible car seat instead of an infant carrier. Studies are showing that wearing your baby instead of leaving them in the car seat is far better for their spine. Not only that but they love to be snuggled next to you! My daughter always slept in the Sleepy Wrap, which made grocery trips and dinners out much nicer for us. She felt safe and secure, and I knew she was as well. I loved how you can place some of the shoulder strap over the back and sides of their head and that keeps strangers from wanting to touch your newborn. I was also never worried about her falling. I always kept a hand under her just incase, but there are just those moments when you have to have both hands and this was wonderful! She is now 20 months and I miss this thing! It comes with a handy carry bag and a booklet to show you the basic wraps. However if you find time to play with this you will find infinate ways to wear your baby. The Sleepy Wrap is the best by far in the baby wearing items, and just the right price too!

Good Wrap May 26, 2011
By annatmc
I have an Ergo carrier and that by far is my favorite. I bought that after much consideration and reading many reviews. However, I have a baby that needs to be held often, he's good but just likes to be held. Not good when you need to get stuff done. I used my Ergo one day around the house when trying to do chores and it was so bulky for that task. I had an amazon card and decided to order one of these for use around the house. I had heard they are better than a moby because they are made out of a stretchier jersey material. I have nothing to compare it to as far as a wrap is concerned, but if the jersey material keeps you from having to readust I'm all for that.
As a wrap in general this one does what it is supposed to and I liked it. For me I prefer my Ergo that just pops on and off of me. But for home and for a little baby (he was about 2 months when I got it), I do recommend this.
