O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, than out of sperm, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that we may manifest ( Our Power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strenght; and some of you are called to die and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after known (much). And (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (To life), it swells,and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth in pairs. ( Surah al- Hajj, ayat 5, Qur'an)

sling review: JPMBB

The stretchy sling you CAN wear with bigger children. When I was looking at wraps I went for a woven one to try as my little man is quite heavy, but then a lovely mama I know introduced me to this stretchy as I think stretchy is still more comfortable. I tried it and was amazed.
Colour: It comes in lovely colours, bright summery or more nuetral. The main part is one colour and the pocket has a lovely accentted colour.
Texture: because it is stretchy its nice and soft on both the wearer and baby. It molds nicely around both bodies unlike a woven which can feel a little stiff at first.
Dimensions: the wrap comes in 3 sizes, long, short and one for dollies ( I love that) Its nice and wide and covers the baby's body wonderfully. It also stretches width ways allowing tightening of the carry on the shoulder (as in the picture)
Support: this is what made me a fan. My big baby was well supported and he felt so light! I had to have one. There are many different carries all supporting well as the cloth is nice and wide.
Sleepy test: this sling has not been tried untill sleepy as I have preferred to unbuckle him to put him down and I haven't worked out how to unwrap him from my back without waking him, but I am sure he would sleep.
UPDATE: We have had a great double hammock back carry this morning and had a nice long nap in it. Comfy for both of us.
Website: (an added one for this carrier) The website is fab! I love the video entrance and tutorial guides. It is clear, fun, funky and very easy to use with google translate (its French)
Recommend: I would and I have recommended this carrier for new wrappers and ones who thought stretchy is only for newborns. If I am blessed with another I will definitely enjoy this sling inshaallah.

This is my personal opinion and every carrier is different for different people depending on body shape and baby shape and size. So I would always recomend seeking out a sling library to try before you buy.
