I really liked the we made me Wuti Wrap baby wrap to use with my niece (4 months). Once I'd figured out the instructions (they were a bit long winded) it felt really comfortable and secure and my niece snuggled right in for a long sleep. I loved the material as I felt like she could breathe easily through it and it was really comfortable to wear. I liked the design too. The name on the front helped me to get it in the right position too.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It kept baby snug and secure for a long time and I could still do other things with my hands. I think it helped her sleep for longer too as she was cosy.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
It was a bit wide for me as I'm only short. Maybe it should come in different widths?

Having a baby in a sling makes your life as a mum so much easier. Being able to have two hands free and be able to get on with whatever you want to is a godsend. The we made me WutiWrap supports the baby well and the fabric is really lightweight, stopping either of us getting too hot.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It means that my rather clingy baby can remain strapped to my chest while I get on with everyday life without her crying. Once the we made me wrap is tied in place, I can get the baby in and out fairly quickly. It also means that I can actually go shopping without her screaming in the pram, I don't have to seek out the lifts everywhere we go and I don't have negotiate narrow aisles with a bulky pram.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would make the fabric a little bit more stretchy if possible, just to help with getting baby in and out more comfortably and to stop the straps around my waist bunching up and tightening to an uncomfortable level. Also, I do think the price is a little high for what is essentially one long piece of fabric in a fancy tube.

A very comfortable sling and baby feels secure once in. Good material that isn't too hot when baby in it for long time.

Comfortable and snug for baby. Easy to wear around house while able to do jobs with both hands free. Baby feels secure in it too.

Maybe offer a smaller size for petite mums!

It has much cooler fabric than most other baby wraps so neither baby or you overheat when wearing it. Also has clear step by step instructions with fun diagrams on how to use wrap.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Being able to wear the baby in the we made me Wuti Wrap enables you to get on with other things whilst keeping your baby close, safe and happy. Leaves 2 hands free which seems to be becoming a rarity!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
While the material makes the wrap cooler than other wraps, it also makes it a little slippy and hard to put on. Would be great if it was both cool and less slippy.

I liked that this product was made of breathable material. Wearing a baby can be warm for both mother and child so breathable material is a must. I liked the way the wrap felt comfortable and secure for both mother and baby And allowed me the freedom to continue with day to day tasks having both hands free. It was easy to wrap up in a ball and transport too.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Having your hands free is fantastic when you have a newborn. It allows you to keep on top of things around the house whilst keeping your little one safe and close. It is also a benefit to the baby as they are kept with you, nice and warm, rather than being left on a bouncer for example. It also calms the baby to be close to you. Wraps are a real life saver.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Although the mesh material of this wrap by we made me isn't as comfortable as some other cotton wraps I have tried I guess it has its bonuses of being breathable. To have different lengths of the wrap would also be a bonus as it might save having a lot of excess material that you have to tie up around your waist (or leave hanging)
