Baby-Gami: Baby Wrapping for Beginners

By Andrea Sarvady

Book Overview

Origami meets the age-old art of swaddling in Baby-Gami and no longer does baby wrapping have to be an intimidating undertaking. Easy-to-follow instructions illustrated with step-by-step diagrams and unbearably cute photographs make it a cinch to execute flawless wraps. The first part of the book offers a variety of cocoon-like styles for newborns; the second shows parents how to create slings for "wearing" older babies. Once new parents master the basic swaddles and slings, they can branch out into more pizazzy terrain. Try the Picnic Wrap, the Glamour Sling, or the satin and tulle Gift Wrap. With advice from experts and real parents, tips on baby-carrying, baby-soothing, and a rundown of items not to wrap your baby in, Baby-Gami is a must-have for any new parent.

ADORABLE!!

This is such a sweet, cute, unique book for new mommies. I often buy it as part of a shower gift. There are very clever ways to wrap your baby if you ever get in a jam such as a paper bag or in a map. The babies are adorable too!

Become a Bionic Wrapper Mom!

A friend recently gave me this book. I thought I was doing pretty well with swaddling - sorting more and more things out as I went along. Then I gave this book just a quick read, and the next swaddle I did was a million times better. It also has lots of fun little tidbits about the benes of swaddling and "baby wearing." Not to mention really adorable pix.

very cute book

This is a very cute book if you are looking for something unique to give as a baby gift. Many ways to wrap up your little one. They even throw in a few fun wraps (usuing a map and a paper bag). I am giving this book to all of my pregnant friends!

great gift

I received this book as a gift and liked it so much I bought several to have on hand for gifts

Great Gift for Experienced Moms To Be

This is my fourth pregnancy and you can probably guess I have tried about every baby products out over the last few years. This book is a great shower gift to those experienced moms to be. It has some real life saving baby wraps. My all time favorite is the brown paper bag wrap. It is used when you have no more clothes in the diaper bag, no more diapers, no more wipes (we have all been there even though some won't publically admit it). I have talk to first time moms about it and they all say that will never happen to me. This book is also a great coffee table book with its nice hard cover and brilliant photos. I reccomend this book for all moms!!!!!
