During the nine months of pregnancy we live in a sort of dream where every day we imagine how it will be our little, how many caresses, kisses and hugs we will give and how much time we would like to keep him close to us in our hearts. Towards the seventh month of the anxiety it starts to get stronger, the time is coming and we start to make the famous suitcase according to the list of things necessary for us and the baby during hospital stay: nightgown, pajama, the detergent, the romper suits and body changes for the child. With the third child I waited so long this time because I was so happy to storing with care and delicacy my beautiful belt: a Bamboo Labradorite Little frog. A delicate headband, soft, colorful, just what I wanted to welcome this puppy in the transition from my womb to the outside world. The Bamboo labradorite is just one of many bands that can be found today in the Babywearing.La end market is a non-structured baby carrier support, since it has no knots, nor buckles, nor pre-formed seams, it perfectly fits on the wearer's body and it allows you to support your child in physiological position, ensuring the right support to the spine, head and legs E 'duty to make a fundamental distinction between the bands. There are two types: elastic and rigid. What is meant by these terms? Usually an elastic band is composed of a cotton fabric (jersey type) said jersey, with a percentage of spandex, is one size 5,20mt and exists of many brands (Boba, manduca, ergo, lenny lamb, hoppediz and many others) . The positive aspects of the use of this band is definitely the ease of use and price. In fact, since the elastic fabric is very soft and therefore easy to handle for ligatures, especially for novice mothers with bands. The elastic band for its softness is particularly suitable for premature babies. This band, however, started to be little comfortable beyond a certain weight (from 7.6 kg baby) since the elastic tissue gives way and tends to fall leaving the baby too far down and becoming uncomfortable for portatore.Anche being able to do only one type of ligation (triple support) restricts the use of the elastic band, with this imfatti is possible to bring only in front (in spite of what reported to the instruction manuals of the different brands that produce it). Among the piston rings we can also enter the Close Baby Carrier baby carrier a band ready to be worn that slips like a shirt. This support perfectly combines the warmth of a band with the convenience and ease of use for those who have problems with ligatures. The rigid band on the contrary requires more practice and exercise (not in case there are the figures of the Bring Consultants who teach to use it), but, however, allows to make numerous ligatures, bringing the front, on the side or behind. The rigid band is composed of a diagonal weave fabric, made in the frame with an armature in twill (guarantees a faultless seal, even with heavier children) and can be 100% cotton or cotton blend flax or hemp or silk (we shall see later forward how to choose the type of fabric). Another fundamental difference between the two types of bands is that if the elastic is one size is in the rigid sizes. The sizes are chosen according to the size of the wearer and on the basis of binding that you choose to do (variable length between 2.60 to 5.70 m) This allows everyone to find the most suitable for their own body length and the ligatures that you want to achieve, without having an excessive surplus of cloth, which might be annoying. A multi-layer binding, holding more weight and more support has definitely need more fabric than a monolayer binding that allows you to quickly tie but is strongest weight carried. Even the rigid is perfectly suited to infants, it allows to recreate the natural fetal position and ensure the containment of which the smaller they need, but perfectly holds the increasing weight of the baby, up more than 3 years. The best known brands that produce rigid bands are Didymos, Natibaby, Oscha, Little Frog, Lenny lamb.   So which one to choose? When you ask this question the price plays an important role, in fact, a mother who faces this world when you find yourself having to choose between an elastic band 30 / 40euro to $ 100 and a rigid instinctively chooses the one that costs less above the fact of not knowing if in the future will be capable of binding or if the child agrees to be brought (doubts that all mothers are, quiet !!!). But as for all the objects that we buy must consider carefully before buying, it is true that an elastic band costs 1/3 of a rigid, but can be used for a shorter time (up to 6 / 7kg as mentioned above) then perhaps you should invest and take a rigid band, even if it costs more, it allows me to take the baby and cuddle with all its softness at the same time being able to use it even when the child now grown will wear during the moments when tired or just wants to be cuddled. We hope to be able to clarify some doubts for all the mothers who are deisderose to know this world but do not know where to start. Good to wear to all of you, Eloise and Alessia
