Our Review:

Balboa Baby was generous enough to send us a nursing pillow and adjustable sling to review.

Nursing pillow

"Developed with lactation consultants and medical professionals, the Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow makes nursing easier and more comfortable. The innovative Nursing Pillow is contoured to fit around the mother easily without the use of complicated zippers, buckles, or straps. Designed to help ease stress on your back, neck, and shoulders, the Nursing Pillow lifts baby up to the proper level for more relaxed feeding. The unique contoured design encourages correct feeding position by naturally rolling baby towards mother. Pillow is soft, comfortable and just firm enough to support your baby while nursing. The Nursing Pillow features a removable, 100% cotton cover for easy cleaning and comes in prints to coordinate with your nursery and home."

We were sent a nursing pillow in Lola Print to review. My favorite thing about this nursing pillow is that it curves to my body and it is also slanted in towards me so when I am nursing baby he naturally leans towards me instead of sliding away.  Like everything else that Balboa Baby carries it is also available in many different gorgeous colors. You can match it to your nursery decor or the decor of your house. Go HERE to see all of the gorgeous colors that it is available in.

I love that there is actually a removable cover that comes off for easy cleaning when it gets dirty. It is a nursing pillow.....it's gonna get dirty! The fabric is nice and tough so that it will stand up to lots of use and being washed many times.

One thing that I love about the Balboa Baby nursing pillow is that it is the perfect firmness for nursing. It is not too soft to where you are having to hold all of baby's weight, but also not too hard where baby is going to be uncomfortable laying on it. The Balboa Baby Nursing Pillow is a must have for any nursing mother and would also make a great gift! It is great quality and will last a long time!

Adjustable sling

"The Adjustable Sling by Balboa Baby is so soft and comfortable that “slinging” your baby will feel totally natural for both of you. Designed to grow as your baby does, the Balboa Sling offers parents hands free motion and promotes bonding. The unique contoured padded strap features a sleek design, yet evenly distributes your baby’s weight. The covered elastic trim ensures your baby is safe and positioned close to you, while the deep pocket design keeps baby snug and secure, allowing you to move freely without worry."

We were sent the black GeoTrim adjustable sling to review. My favorite thing about this sling is that it is fully adjustable! You don't have to have one sling that fits you and another that fits hubby. It fits me great now and it will still fit me great after I have the baby. No need to buy another sling if I loose weight....all I have to do is tighten it up and I am good to go! The sling also has elastic that runs along the front side so that it holds your baby close to you and you don't have to worry about them falling out or not being snug up close to you.

The fabrics and patterns that the sling are available are just gorgeous! I love the fact that you can dress up your outfit by carrying your baby! There are colors for everyone's taste and also ones that will work if hubby is the one carrying the baby.  Go HERE to see all of the gorgeous colors that it is available in.

One last thing that I love about this sling is that it has a pocket on the front of it to keep keys, a cell phone, pacifier, or anything else that you need handy. It is a perfect place to keep a paci so you always have one close by while you are out and about and you wont have to go searching when one is needed. 

PLEASE be careful when carrying your baby in a sling! Don't let then slouch into the bottom of the sling because you can risk them not being able to breath. Always have them high enough where you can kiss their head and make sure that they are ok. Go HERE for instructions on safe sling carry.
