Description: Guatemalan cotton unpadded “ring” baby sling

Review: If you want a perfect all around baby sling, try the Maya Wrap. I’ve worn two threadbare thus far!

I’ve tried the padded sling styles (NoJo, Over the Shoulder Baby Holder) for awhile but found them too bulky, like wearing a pillow around my torso.

Comes in a variety of colors and especially beautiful fabrics and has a very soft feel after a few washings.

Plus these slings make it too hard to get baby really close to you because you can’t pull the tail far enough through the rings to get a hands free breastfeeding hold or a snug hold with a newborn if you’re petite. Plus it’s hot!

Summary: The Maya Wrap is in my opinion the best all around baby sling. It’s super easy and fast to just slip on. It’s cool and breathable. It’s almost infinitely adjustable. You can adjust the top and bottom “rails” of the sling independently which is great when your child falls asleep and you need to pull their head in close to your body so it doesn’t flop around (impossible to do with the padded styles).
