***BABY BLESSINGS-Dittany Baby Pouch Sling Review & GIVEAWAY***

  From the moment I heard of Dittany Baby and saw their beautiful carriers I have loved them! Like I have said before, with Monkey I didn't really have a good baby carrier to use.  As soon as I figured out that I was pregnant again I started doing research on what was available. With having 2 kiddos to tote around I am going to NEED something to carry the baby in while Monkey walks so that I don't have to lug around a car seat everywhere. With this baby I am doing everything that I can to find the best and most comfortable carrier for me and the baby. I need something that is convenient, easy to use, quick to put on, and COMFORTABLE.

ABOUT THE COMPANY:

"Like many Mom started companies, Dittany Baby was born of pure necessity. The necessity to protect founder Shannon's son's poor knees as he dragged them across the carpet, and the necessity to find a better way to get around with a baby in tow which didn't involve pushing a bulky stroller. Over the years Dittany baby has evolved to carry a full line of Skidpants for baby's knees, Mei Tais and Pouch Slings, both on land and in the water, as well as a line of stylish Nursing Covers and designer tights.

  

Recently Shannon sold Dittany Baby, and it was bought by the new owner Lisa. For Lisa, Dittany Baby combines her love of her children, her passion for cloth diapering and breastfeeding, and her enthusiasm for baby wearing with her design and sewing skills. Lisa has been sewing ever since her mother taught her the basics when she was only six. That time with her mother taught her more than just how to thread a needle. It taught her how vital time spent with your children is. Now working with her two sweet children by her side, every day, Lisa extends the same care and attention to every facet of the Dittany Baby line.

Lisa is dedicated to providing Dittany Baby customers with the most stylish and functional accessories meets with her passion for breastfeeding by offering a line of beautiful nursing covers for moms who prefer to nurse with a cover or have easily distractable babies who benefit from the privacy. As a breastfeeding mother, Lisa believes strongly in the benefits of breastfeeding and wants to help even the most shy of mothers realize their breastfeeding goals by helping them feel more confident about being able to nurse anytime and anywhere, and look great doing it. As an avid baby wearing mom of two, Lisa brings her practical experience as well as her designer's eye to designing a line of lightweight and comfortable Mei Tais, Pouch Slings, and H2O slings. Lisa loves that baby wearing gives her the opportunity to hold her children and cuddle them closely, while still having her hands free to get things done. She also loves that baby wearing means a smoother day with calmer kids."

Dittany Baby's collection contains many great products like the Reversible Padded Pouch Sling for $48-52,  Skid Pants for $5-8, their H2O pouch sling for $56, contoured Mai Tai for $76, and more!  They have trendy fabrics and stylish designs made for every persons taste and pattern preference. Go HERE to see all that they offer.

OUR REVIEW:

Lisa over at Dittany Baby was wonderful enough to send me a Enchanted Reversible Padded Pouch Sling for review. I just LOVE the print of the sling! I love the black of the carrier because it matches almost anything. Dittany Baby's slings (like all their products) come in a great selection of colors and patterns. All their fabrics are bright and gorgeous!

  Dittany Baby has an beautiful assortment of sling style pouch carriers that all come with a matching fabric carry bag. Their Pouch Slings  can be used with babies from birth to 35 lbs so you will be able to use them for a long time!

Slings are great for saving the strain on your arms and back. They also make breastfeeding in public a cinch (especially with a newborn that can fit fully into the pouch part of the sling) You will be able to nurse with it and be totally discreet too which I love! No one will even know you’re feeding your little one! They will just think that the baby is sleeping. I have never been one to feel comfortable nursing out in public not covered up so this is a great added benefit!

Sizing: 

A good fit is key to comfortable and safe baby wearing, so make sure and check their sizing chart before making a purchase.  Their slings come in all different sizes to fit every body shape. To make using your sling even easier you can take a look at their detailed instructions on how to use their baby carriers HERE.  

Quality of Dittany Baby Pouch Sling:

GREAT!  I was so excited to see the padding along the front of the sling to make it more comfortable for the baby and for me.  Workmanship on this carrier is excellent, the fabric is nice and thick, and all of the seams are perfect.  After washing the carrier the colors are still bright and beautiful, just give it a quick iron and it looks like new.

Price of Dittany BabyPouch Sling:

Comparable to other Pouch slings on the market. Dittany Baby's slings run for Approx $48 (depending on fabric choice).
