VIJA Design Skin-to-Skin Kangaroo Care Short Sleeve T-Shirt | Hands-Free Skin-to-Skin for Mom and Baby

I have ordered a total of three of these shirts for my brother and sister-in-law for their newborn. I saw some great reviews, and they expressed a need to have a shirt like this. I get regular photos about how happy my nephew is, how secure and snuggly fits into the shirt, and the ability of my brother and sister-in-law to still have that skin on skin bonding time, hold him, and move around. My Brother sent me a text the other day with a picture of my nephew and his wife, saying that the little one is never happier, until inside the shirt. :-) Thank you!

It's an okay product. Our 2 month old is on the heavy side and we didn't get much use out of this. She also didn't seem comfortable in it because the material was very thick and not very breathable. Because of these thickness, I was not to inclined to use it often. At such a steep price for a shirt (why so expensive?), I expected a bit more thought in designing this product. I like the torso design with the bunched up material as it is flattering for a post-partum mid-rift area. It is a very flattering design, but was a bit too snug overall. I also bought the VIJA Men's Skin-to-Skin Kangaroo Care T-shirt for my husband (dad should bond too!) and myself and feel the same way about it.

Love this shirt!! It's amazing especially if you have multiple kids or just want to connect with baby. Just buy it you won't regret it! I will tell every expecting or new momma about this awesome shirt : )

Hands down the best day-to-day stretch material babywearing carrier I've ever owned.Pros: It's exactly the same concept as the standard Mobywrap carry and the K'tan ("cross, cross, seatbelt") but without miles of fabric or multiple pieces to figure out or manage. It's the only babywearing shirt I've seen so far that doesn't have a separate security piece that you have to tie or keep track of. And the "cross, cross, seatbelt" structure allows actual skin-to-skin unlike many kangaroo care and babywearing shirts which have an internal pocket structure which limits full contact with baby's skin. It is slimming and comfortable to a newly post-partum body.Cons: It's thick so it gets hot in the summer (and I'm always cold). It feels snug, even in the right size. I like this because baby feels secure and I like feeling that tightness "holding me in" after giving birth. But it makes it hard to get in and out of and it can be tricky to get baby in and out without waking him up (there's a learning curve there). You have to take baby out to nurse.I loved my Moby and I love the new, lightweight fabrics they have now-- but I don't love standing in the parking lot trying to keep yards of fabric off the ground while I rewrap it or putting it on in the morning and having it hang off whenever the baby's not in it. This shirt looks and feels like a shirt when the baby's not in it. It never needs to be wrapped or rewrapped. It's the same, secure, comfortable wrap every time.If you have more than one kid this is a MUST as far as I'm concerned. Baby is so secure and comfy even while you're chasing the toddler. After 8 or 10 strait months (between two babies) of everyday wear and washing and periods of loaning it out it has finally worn out enough that I feel I need to buy a new one for the next baby. This thing is a work horse worth every blessed penny. If I could buy one for every baby shower I would.

I love the idea of this so much. However, there are some major issues... it unfortunately couldn't even partially fit my baby...and my baby was a small 6 lbs and 13 oz and 19 inches and I ordered my typical shirt size of medium (they actually recommend when in doubt to order a size down..thank god I didn't do that!) and it still was way too small! I could barely even breathe with it on. Also, to clarify, I was right back to almost my pre-pregnancy weight, so that wasn't the issue. I also would like to mention that it is HOT. I'm normally someone who feels cold easily and I was sweating profusely...and that's without baby in it! And to the thing that angered me most of all....the seller told me that I couldn't return it or exchange for a different size if the tags were off! You can't even try it on with that giant freaking tag on it!!! So now I'm out $70+ which is a LOT for a family of 6 barely making ends meet. Definitely will NOT be recommending Milk & Baby to anybody!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!

Newborn must have keeps baby safe and warm and allows mama to have hands free

Love it!

they say it shrinks, i wouldn't say so. i would get my normal size next time, one size larger is kind of too large, but the baby grows, so I hope it will fit better with time ;-)not for warm weather (summer babies), gets very hot very fast
