Giveaway #57 Cornflower Attic Baby Sling

May 6th, 2009 in Giveaways

The winner of this giveaway is….Susie who said, “I love this sling! I have a few different styles, but this reversible one is one of the best I have seen! I am on baby 4, with the oldest 5 years old, and am always in need of more hands free options. The newest little one seems to be a cuddler, so babywearing is a necessity!”

Cornflower Attic is a wonderful company I found at a boutique last year and I am so thrilled they are doing a giveaway on my site! To be honest I didn’t use to many “things” with my girls while they were babies: pretty nursing covers, fancy diaper bags, play mats, exersaucers. I didn’t even use the car seat as a carrier like other moms! The only thing I really used a lot was a baby sling. I loved how cuddly it made myself and my babies feel. I enjoyed having them next to my heart and catching everyone of their cute grins. Leslie at Cornflower Attic makes beautiful, high quality, versatile baby slings I just love.

The owner of Cornflower Attic, Leslie shares with us how she started her company:

With the birth of my third child I quickly realized I didn’t have enough arms to keep up with the demand! My sling became my new best friend. I “wear” my baby (cozy next to Mom), while I keep up with the dishes, push the grocery cart, or play with my toddler at the playground. The sling is comfy and often gently rocks him to sleep. They are perfect for newborns even up to toddlers. With our reversible patterns, you have two styles to choose from so both you and baby look good.

We all know babies loved to be held, but there are more benefits to wearing your baby:
* Being rocked to the rhythm of Mom’s heartbeat often lulls baby to sleep
* Bonding with baby is increased while crying is decreased
* Babies that are held more often tend to sleep better
* Moms are more confident having hands free and being able to keep up after older children.
