New Zealand Babywearing Week Giveaway – WIN an Oscha Woven Wrap Courtesy of The Sleep Store

It’s New Zealand Babywearing Week (5 – 13 October 2013) and we are enjoying celebrating with you.  Our next giveaway for this year will be drawn once we reach 2300 page members over on the New Zealand Babywearing Week facebook page.

Our 2300 liker giveaway sponsor is The Sleep Store.  One lucky ‘New Zealand Babywearing Week Facebook page’ member will be randomly drawn to take home an Oscha woven wrap – Starry Night Nebula in Midnight Blue, size 6. (Open to NZ residents only).

This Oscha is a lovely soft and supportive wrap in deep midnight blue and ecru cotton, mimicking the rich, dark night sky and twinkling stars. Deep indigo blue cotton warp with ecru wild silk/cotton weft. A beautifully soft and supportive wrap. 25% wild silk, 75% cotton.

Wraps can be used to carry your baby from birth onwards. Correctly used, a wrap distributes the baby’s weight beautifully, making for an extremely comfortable, supported and snug carry.

Wraps are highly adjustable. Not only can you carry your child on your front, back and hip, in each position you have a myriad of choices about the kind of carry you want to use, this means that you can tailor your wrap exactly to suit you, yet the same sling can be adjusted for someone else too!

Although using a wrap can look intimidating at first, with a little practice you can get into the swing of things and they will become simple to use in no time. You will soon be amazing your friends and family with how quickly and easily you’ve wrapped up and soothed your baby.

Oscha slings soften beautifully with use and come with a handy bag to carry them in.

Size:  6 = 4.7m

Photo a Day Competition – WIN a manduca package courtesy of My Natural Baby Ltd

We are excited to once again be running the very popular babywearing pic a day event this year. From October 5 – 31 there will be a theme a day for your babywearing photos which you are invited to share on the New Zealand Babywearing Week Facebook page. Each image shared will count as an entry in the prize draw to win a manduca package which includes the following thanks to My Natural Baby:

• 1 x ‘NewStyle’ black manduca
• 1 x SilverLily organic cotton ZipIn (Limited edition)
• 1 x SilverLily organic cotton fumbee shoulder strap protectors (Limited Edition)
• 1 x manduca front pouch
• Package value $338.85

The Manduca Baby and Kids Carrier has been designed in Germany by Wickelkinder GmbH.  Orthopaedically designed and packed with features, the Manduca baby carrier is one of the most versatile and comfortable soft-structured carriers on the market.

 Main features of the NewStyle Manduca baby carrier:

• Can be used for newborns (from 3.5kg) and for children up to 20kg (about four years old).
• Includes an integrated infant seat insert
• Has an integrated back-extension for older babies and toddlers
• Has integrated head and neck support
• Is adjustable to fit most people
• The outer material is 45% organic cotton and 55% hemp
• The inner material is 100% organic cotton
• Can be machine washed at up to 30C
• Comes with instructions.

The ZipIn zips into the extendable panel of your manduca to give a fresh and fun look, while the organic cotton fumbees attach easily to the shoulder straps which babies, especially teething ones, love to chew on! The fumbees save your carrier straps from the drool and chewing and can easily be put through the wash, saving you from having to wash your whole manduca so often!

The manduca front pouch can be attached to the waist band of your carrier using the velcro strap, or use it with the included shoulder strap. It’s roomy enough to hold a nappy change, keys, phone, money/cards and even some snacks.

The image below lists the themes for each day of this year’s photo sharing event. Have fun! Looking forward to seeing your babywearing pix!
