I am so excited to review this product, because I just love it! My husband and I both tried out the Lalabu Soothe Shirt and are quite impressed with how awesome they are! It almost feels like you have a third arm helping carry the weight of your babe, which is amazing! My very long baby boy (25.25 inches!) is growing so fast that I probably won’t get to use it for babywearing for too much longer, but the amazing part is it doubles as a nursing shirt!

The Lalabu Story

Okay, so you can clearly tell I love this shirt. I mean it is a genius idea. So how in the world did they come up with this idea you might ask? This husband and wife team took a trip to Africa to visit their aunt and noticed that many of the mothers there all babywear their infants. Babywearing is known to have amazing benefits for baby and their mommy. This led them to question, ” If babywearing is so incredible for both parent and baby, why aren’t more parents in our country doing it?” Then the Lalabu shirt was born. They sought out to create a shirt to make babywearing more simple for all of us Mamas out there. Oh and for all of you men, they didn’t leave you out! Lalabu has a Daddy shirt, too! If your babe is like mine, he just loves snuggling with his daddy! It gives me a nice break to blog, have two free hands, eat a bowl of ice cream, or shower, while daddy can snuggle our baby and still be productive as well.lalabu2

 

My Overall Impression

LOVE! Have I mentioned I love this product?! I must admit when I first put it on I felt a bit self-conscious with my mombod. It is a snug fit, so don’t be alarmed. The snug fit is necessary, however, so that your baby is safe in your shirt pouch.

My husband sort of felt the same way about the fit. He said that he would like one size bigger, but again, with a smaller baby a snug fit would definitely be necessary.

Even when I can no longer fit my big boy in the pouch, the nursing function is also fantastic and the shirt looks cute enough to wear solo! Guess what else…you can also ditch the bra in this one! Totally enough support built in–wahoo!

My husband and I both give these shirts two thumbs up!! With Christmas just around the corner, the Lalabu Soothe Shirt would be a super awesome gift for any mommy or daddy-to-be!

14 Comments on Lalabu Soothe Shirt Review

  1. LOVE it!! I love the style and the ease of use!! I love the tight fit honestly!! Lets me know my kiddo is tucked in tight!!

    • I love the style too! I totally get the need for the tight fit; it was just a “friendly reminder” of those stingy baby weight pounds I have yet to lose, lol.

  2. Looks like a great product! Definitely going to gift one of these this Christmas! Thanks for the share.

  3. I love that it’s all one piece most of the soft type carriers you have to wrap and wrap it’s a little time consuming especially if you want to do a quick “uppie”

    • Oh gosh, me too! It is so nice to not have to fuss with straps, knots, buckles, snaps, etc. I absolutely love wearing my son, but sometimes all the fuss of the carriers deters me. This shirt makes it so easy! I only wish my little guy wasn’t growing his way right out of it so quickly!

  6. What a great idea. And no ties or straps? AND they donate to mothers in Africa?! I love them.

  9. This is brilliant! I had so many different babywearing apparatuses that either were too difficult to wrap or too uncomfortable to wear. This being a one-piece totally changes things. Babywearing is so good and would be so much better if it were easier!
