Hug your bub

23 March 2009



I’m often stopped out shopping and asked ‘where did you get that’ about my sling. It’s a hug-a-bub, and it’s simply divine, and in the early months, I couldn’t have lived without it.

Perfectly safe for newborns and their floppy heads, the hug-a-bub is even safe for premature babies, and is used in neonatal intensive care units throughout Australia. The hug-a-bub is a wrap style sling, and while it looks a little ominous to use at first, once you’ve watched the dvd and given it a go, you’ll wonder what you were ever worried about, getting it on and off in seconds.

The hug-a-bub can be used in four different positions – peapod, heart to heart, on the go and koala cuddle, making it suitable for use from birth to three years old.

The original hug-a-bub is available in three different styles (with pocket, pocketless, and specialty designs) and multiple color options. The pocket versions are fabulous as they act as a storage bag for your sling when not in use.

And now, hug-a-bub have added a traditional ring sling to their range. All ring slings are reversible, and are available in eight gorgeous color options.

For a full list of stockists, visit the hug-a-bub site. There are a few NZ stockists, or you can order directly from Australia. Expect to pay between $85AUD and $140AUD for the wraps, and $115AUD for the ring sling, plus postage and handling.
