I use it everyday!

I love my hug-a-bub and so does Danjuro my son, I honestly use it everyday! We also use it to take Dan on trips abroad, hiking and to Hakone. It's so much more stress-free and easier travelling without a buggy and the design is so good we are both comfortable for long periods.

I was quite ill and had a major emergency operation when I was pregnant, 2 months before Dan was born, but I found that the hug-a-bub enabled me to carry him as much as possible and also helped me to regain my fitness after the birth. I tried a few other slings but the hug-a-bub is by far the best. It helped me so much which is why I want other people to try it!

Just don't match up

The Hug-a-Bub is so comfortable and easy to use. Other carriers just don't match up, they start to tear into your shoulders within 30 minutes and although they are very convenient for in-and-out situations lasting less than 20 minutes, long term they just don’t do the job. The Hug-a-Bub has so many uses and I have many positive comments from by passers! Nathan loved it too!!

Worried that I would not figure it out

I love the hug-a-bub. We I first took it out of the package I was a little worried that I would not figure it out with all that fabric but the video (and a little practice) really helped.
Avery loves it. She is 6 months old now. She knows what it is. When I get it out, she gets very excited. I used the hug-a-bub at my 2 year old's birthday party yesterday and it was wonderful. Avery fell asleep as soon as I put her in it.
Thank you for a wonderful product.

health professionals

Physiotherapists

recommend hug-a-bub®s’ ergonomic design because it reduces strain on shoulder, neck, and back muscles. It is recommended for those with some chronic back problems.

Lactation consultants 

favour the wide hug-a-bub® wrap for discrete breastfeeding and the ability to breastfeed your baby horizontally or vertically.

Midwives and childbirth educators

promote hug-a-bub® for easing the transition for the baby from the womb to the world. It helps relax new mothers, promotes bonding and reduces post partum depression.

“A mothers…ligaments and muscles will take on average of 3 months post delivery to go back to her pre-pregnancy firmness, So the hug-a-bub® protects and nurtures her, not to mention that by keeping the baby with her she reduces her own stresses and she can continue with her normal life style choices, while getting to know her Baby”.
Anne McLeod Taylor Midwife, Registered Nurse, Childbirth educator, Lactation Consultant Natural Therapist

Osteopaths and chiropractors

recognise that the width of hug-a-bub’s fabric and the wrapping technique, ensure that the baby’s weight is evenly balanced and supported by the whole torso and does not compress the baby’s developing vertebrae.

“As an osteopath I can recommend with full confidence the use of the hug-a-bub® baby carrier as a means of alleviating the stresses and strains all too frequently seen in my practice in mothers (particularly) with children of carrying age”.
Eve Schoenheimer D.O

Psychologists

report that frequently carried infants experience the elements of motion, pleasure, warmth, security and a variety of stimulation that ensures their healthy physical, intellectual and social development.

Paediatricians and Early Childhood Nurses

acknowledge that hug-a-bub® greatly reduces crying and calms fussy or colicky babies.

“ I find I can settle one baby in the hug-a-bub® while attending to another, the babies are comfortable, relax and settle very quickly. It is easy to put the baby in and easy to take the baby out without disturbing them. Babies with Cerebral irritation, reflux and colic seem much more settled.” Anne McLeod Taylor Midwife, Registered Nurse, Childbirth educator, Lactation Consultant Natural Therapist

Occupational Therapists

agree that many ‘special needs’ from which babies can benefit are created by the close physical contact provided by the hug-a-bub®.

Childcare professionals

use the hug-a-bub® to settle babies. It is an instant way of calming them and making them feel secure in an unfamiliar environment.

Premature Infant Carers

experience that even the tinniest premature infants can be safely held in a hug-a-bub®, skin-to-skin, against a parent or carer’s chest, (known as Kangaroo Care), helping to stabilise their heart and respiration rate, encourages weight gain and greatly lowers the mortality rate.
