I wore my babies All The Time and used the ergo, BABYBJÖRN, fake-moby wrap, and whatever else I could strap to my person. So, what do you guys think about this baby-wearing shirt that promotes skin-to-skin snuggling without the need for another carrier?
Okay, that picture is so cute that it almost makes me want another baby.
And here’s the handy diagram about how to install the baby into your clothing (click to see it bigger and visit to their full-on instruction page with video):
What do you guys think, love it or shove it?

This would be awesome for a mom with a NICU baby who is doing kangaroo care.
True Adrienne, and I bet that’s where the Roo name comes from.
Not sure I could pull it off. Seems like it would make breastfeeding easy though and the baby seems so happy! Oh and it’s much better than this one my friend sent me yesterday! 🙂 http://chzb.gr/Yi9kMF
I love the idea. Not sure I’d ever use it but it’s still a great idea. Is it sad that despite the first picture being the cutest thing ever, I’m still not tempted to have another baby? I’m so grateful to have found this website when Gabi was born 🙂
I’d use it. My little man was born during a wicked heat wave and the rest of the summer was quite hot and humid too. He loved to be worn, and I liked to try and get out every day, but adding the extra layer nearly did me in sometimes given the added heat of his little body too. One layer sounds great. Though, I wonder what you do when you have to take him out if you’re out and about? Must you strip down?
I found myself wanting something exactly like this when my baby was a newborn. Not necessarily because I wanted to wear my baby more, but I did want a way to have skin-to-skin contact and to keep us both warm in the winter.
In my day we had the snuggly which killed my back, so if its easier on the back and shoulders it looks great
@psychsarah That’s exactly what I was wondering. When I change a diaper at the cafe or pediatrician, is my shirt hanging wide open or no longer on me? I think I’d love it for home use. And my husband would obviously never wear it.
Hi Ladies, Thanks so much for posting! As the co-founder of NüRoo, I’d love to answer your questions… @adrienne, you’re spot – the NüRoo Pocket is NICU approved & we’ve designed for lines, tubes and access to the heal if necessary. @psychsarah, @HeatherFlett – taking baby out is super easy and doesn’t require you to de-robe.

I would be worried I would have to wash it daily, but the concept is great.
It’s a good idea if you wear a tank top, the lady in pink is not wearing a tank nor a bra. That craps fine if you’re at home.
Nice, but my concern is for those of us with ridiculously large nursing breasts – I don’t think there would be room for the babe. But I say the more baby wearing options the better!
I have one and love it. It’s great for skin to skin and so easy. But there are some cons. When I get somewhere and want to put her in it, I’m totally opening my shirt up and it flaps around while I get the baby in there. And same thing for nursing. What I find worse is that the Velcro bits often grab other pieces of the shirt while I am nursing, so I don’t think it will last long. But I still love it and use it everyday.
I am always wishing for this when I have a newborn. I want skin-to-skin with my baby, but also to be able to get up from the couch LOL. I’d love it to use in the house.
I have one. It is only supposed to be used for one baby up to 15lbs. Its not designed for multiple pregnancies so you would need a new one for the next baby, but I love it. 🙂
I was looking for a kangourou shirt for more than 15 pounds baby.. I just knew it exists and my baby is now 14 lbs
I have two of them. I love them. They are the best thing that enabled me to care for myself and my twin babies. You can see review on Amazon for details. Useful in so many ways. They are my “go to” gift for pregnant friends.
Can they really not be reused for the next baby?
