RESEARCH

Wondering how carrying your baby impacts you as a parent?

These studies listed below show that babies cry less when carried more,
and that when mothers regularly carry their babies, their sensitivity to
their baby is noticably increased, making the mother-child attachment
more secure. - Find a carrier or sling that works for you!

REBOZO

The rebozo is all-purpose shawl traditionally worn by women and girls in
Latin American cultures. Maya wraps are used to carry children from infancy through toddlerhood and also serve as Rebozos for use in Labor.

Traditional direct entry midwives in Mexico have used the rebozo for hundreds of years to help expectant mothers relax, as well as to provide physical support and to assist the baby in turning into an optimal position for labor & birth.

The Spanish term for the technique the midwife uses is "manteada".

When purchasing a Maya Wrap for use as a Rebozo purchase the large size. [extra large can be special ordered]

Ktan Logo

The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is a unique, stylish carrier that is a cross between
a sling and a more structured front baby carrier. It provides the positions and
benefits of both. There is no other carrier available like it.

Parents or caregivers can comfortably carry infants and toddlers
from birth to 3+ years old (up to 40 lbs) in 8 different positions.

The Baby K’tan’s unique two loop design holds babies more securely and is
extremely easy to use - NO WRAPPING INVOLVED! It is easy to put on & take
off...and even includes a matching baby hat and sash!

The Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier is made up of two loops of fabric
connected with a sliding support band. Simply place the two loops
over your head and around your neck like a necklace, slip one arm
in one loop and the other arm in the second loop.

Material 100% cotton; for true size wash & tumble dry before first use.
Baby K’tan Baby Carriers are cut slightly larger to allow for shrinkage.
