When the Maya Wrap or any baby ring sling is first purchased and used, it takes a little bit of time to learn how to use it.  When purchasing the Maya Wrap there is an instructional DVD but if you still tend to be having difficulty with putting it on properly then here are some tips that may help you.  If the sling tends to be to lose and not stay tight then making a few adjustments may correct some of the Maya Wrap problems you are having.  Here are three general problems that people usually have when trying to first wear the Maya Wrap Ring Sling or any other baby ring sling.

chocolate-cropped-for-ebayFirst, the Maya Wrap can not be twisted, the inside of the tail (the side next to your neck) can not be twisted at all; it needs to come across your back, hip and the top of your baby’s body without any twist.  Feed the tail through the rings making sure the tail is not twisted, after feeding them through the rings put the wrap over one shoulder with the rings in the hollow of your shoulder and then place your baby into your Maya Wrap Ring Sling.

Second, to position your baby where you want them to sit you need to hold your baby up high and then tighten the tail of the sling by pulling the tail across your body, do not pull down on the tail.  Then let go of your baby and they should be positioned where you want them sitting.  You want to wear your baby high and snug or your back may start to hurt.  Make sure your baby’s face is not really tight against your body, there needs to be a finger distance of room between your body and your baby.

Third, when putting your child into the sling their weight is what tightens the rings to hold the sling in place. If you need to tighten the sling after your baby is in the sling hold your baby up and pull the tail in front across your body, this will keep the sling positioned properly and will keep your baby snug and comfortable.

This will generally correct most Maya Wrap baby wearer problems that new parents tend to have.  If you still have problems with the Maya Wrap Baby Ring Sling here are some videos  to watch that may help you.

Mom and Dad as your baby begins to grow so do the amount of toys that they acquire.  What is a parent to do with their toy pile as it gets bigger and bigger?  A great old concept is a toy box, but do you want just an ordinary toy box or do you want one that shows the uniqueness of your child.

Do you have fond memories of the circus when you were growing up?  Well you can bring that childhood memory home.  Consolidating your child’s toys all into one place and have the circus memories brought into their bedroom giving them the same fond memories that you had as a child.

Another reason to shop a unique baby boutique is because you find the unusual.  A different and unique nursery shows the personality of your unique baby.  One of the most original, unique nurseries that I have seen was designed with a round baby crib as the main center piece of furniture in the room.

Unique Baby Boutique - Round CribRound cribs are very useful in their safety and design giving more room for your baby in the crib.  They not only provide more space for your baby but they protect them because there are no sharp corners and when they begin to pull up if they fall backward they will not hit their head.  Round cribs also take up less floor space and give you an easy view of your baby.  Round cribs are clearly a choice that you should consider for the design of your baby’s nursery.  They are great for your baby and you, look at a unique baby boutique for the crib that will best fit your needs for your nursery.

Your baby is probably one of the most important people in your life, they demand so much of your time at this stage of their life.  Mom and Dad you want to offer them the best that you can and at this busy time the best they can have are unique baby items that help and comfort them in the growing and developmental process.  The first year of their life they usually more then double or triple their weight and grow like a weed in their length.   So mom and dad you need to look at this growing process as a wonderful window of time watching them develop and learn so much.

Although because your baby is growing so quickly there are many baby items that your baby is going to need.  Remember every child is different and your baby is special and unique from any other baby.  You may have one child, two children, three or even more but one thing you will realize quickly is that every child has their own unique personality, likes and dislikes.  Knowing that every child is different means that what worked well for one of your children may not work for your other child or children.  Many unique new baby items are constantly coming on the market that helps make life a little easier in the baby rearing years.  This is where looking for baby items found in a unique baby boutique may really aid in the developing years of your baby.

Unique Baby Boutique - Nursing Cover UpA unique baby boutique is the place to look for some great unique baby items such as a nursing cover up.  They make nursing in public a little easier, when your baby wants to eat and you are out it is not always convenient to go somewhere private to feed your baby.  But with a nursing cover up you can put the cover over your head and discreetly nurse your baby without exposing your self to the whole world.  Make sure in looking for a nursing cover that the neckline is rigid so it will give you a gap to see your baby as they nurse.  Many of them are also lined on the inside with soft material such as bamboo that feels so good against your baby’s skin, it also wicks away moisture and is antibacterial so it will not grow mildew.   A nursing cover up is a must have for any mom that plans on nursing their baby.  It is convenient to be able to nurse your baby almost anywhere.
