Have any of you seen the babywearing coverage on the Today Show? I have to say that the portion on the recall was impartial and very accurate. I also have to say…..LOVE the Moby, Boba and Ergo. (of course). I was a little disappointed that they didn’t show any babies in cradle hold or breastfeeding friendly positions. They also failed to cover how to safely wear a newborn. Those small observations aside, I am fairly pleased with the segment and I think it represented babywearing in a positive light.

Precious Image Creations has a really unique line of babywearing clothing that allows you to wear your baby skin to skin. This is especially important and valuable for preemies but can also benefit all infants up to 3 months old (or 15 lbs) by allowing a transition from womb to world that more closely simulates the uterine home they are accustomed to.

I used the Miracle Cami with Bianca for the first couple of months after she was born. The hidden stretchy panel is so strong that I never felt the need to provide additional support with my hands. She was very snug and would fall asleep almost instantly when riding in the cami. I stopped using it because she got too fat to stuff inside anymore rather than concerns about hitting the upper weight limit.

The thing that makes this clothing line even more unique is that they also stretch for pregnancy and have hidden nursing flaps for breastfeeding or pumping. There is even a black unisex model that comes with T shirt sleeves, that allows dads to wear their little ones skin to skin as well. The shirts are reasonably priced, come in a variety of colors and are fashionable enough to wear every day.

Since most parents don’t know in advance if their baby will be born prematurely, it makes sense to pick these up well in advance of delivery with plans to use them as maternity and nursing clothing and as a skin to skin babywearing shirt until baby reaches 15 lbs.

A Much Better Store now carries the full line of Precious Image Creation Transition tops (suitable for maternity clothes, skin to skin babywearing and breastfeeding) in all sizes and colors. Check them out at A Much Better Store and use code BLOG at checkout to receive 10% off your full order.
