ALERT !
There are rumors and misinformation about recent Infant Carrier Recalls:
We'd like to make a couple of clarifications:

The CPSC has not recalled any baby slings.
We've not heard any misinformation regarding Maya Wrap or Baby K'Tan
but want to be sure you know that
Maya Wrap and Baby K'Tan are not going to be subject to a recall.

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!


Julie Dias with 2 week old Ivy Elizabeth (7-22-09)

- Use of a soft baby carrier increased maternal sensitivity and security
of child-mother attachment. Anisfeld, E., V. Casper, et al. (1990).

"Does infant carrying promote attachment? An experimental study of the effects of increased physical contact on the development of attachment." Child Development 61(5): 1617-1627.

- Increased carrying reduces infant crying.

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]
