I’ve been seeking the perfect new wrap for our baby-to-be, but just couldn’t decide what was the best choice. That changed when I discovered this great wrap from Sugar Sweet Baby.  The attractive pink print caught my attention, but when I discovered that the wrap is made from bamboo fabric, I was completely sold.  If you haven’t experienced this super-silky fabric, you are in for a treat.  Not only does it feel absolutely luxurious to the touch, but it has the perfect amount of stretch, which makes it ideal for babywearing.

The website provides detailed instructions for using the wrap.  Although it looks complicated at first, it is very easy to get the hang of, and because of the design, you have complete control over the fit.  Lack of adjustability was my biggest complaint against my last baby carrier, so this one is perfect for me.

You can purchase this wrap on sale for $65 at sugarsweetbaby.com.  The company ships quickly and packages everything beautifully, so this wrap would make a great gift.

I am absolutely in love with this top from Japanese Weekend, a brand that has never disappointed me.  Made from an ultra-soft bamboo blend, this is sure to flatter, and can be worn both during and after your pregnancy.

I love the neckline of this Bamboo During & After Turtleneck.  Having a dark colored turtleneck next to your face can really accent your eyes and other features–something you definitely need during pregnancy when you aren’t always feeling your best.  I also like the flattering gathers on the bodice.  Overall, I think this shirt has a shape that will suit any figure, and which will be very forgiving post-baby (as will the dark color).  It even provides easy access for nursing.

This turtleneck could be dressed up or down, worn with jeans or a skirt; it seems very versatile.  You can purchase one on sale for $64.60 at babycenterstore.

Bath time can be a wonderful bonding time for parents and baby, but it can also be a little tricky and even a little scary for new parents. A good idea is to have everything you’ll need for before, during, and after baby’s bath right at hand. Depending on the weather, your baby may feel a little shivery after a bath. Having an Bamboo After-Bath Hat by Bamboobino especially for baby will be a comfort.
