Easy to use
Designed for use immediately after birth and into the Fourth Trimester, the Joeyband™ can be used to facilitate skin-to-skin (ages 0-3 months) or to keep your baby ‘forward-facing’ on your lap (ages 4-12 months) while trying to eat or work at a table. It’s a great accessibility tool for parenting, and is the perfect product to ensure baby remains secure on your lap without needing to be held.
The Joeyband™ is a must-have part of any parent-to-be’s preparation stages. From delivery, it allows parents and caretakers to connect with baby through touch, building trust and creating a sense of safety and security. Skin-to-skin bonding stimulates your baby’s brain development and rewires your own brain to feel more at ease. It’s easy-to-use design makes it inclusive for people of all abilities.
Materials + Care
Joeyband™ is made in North America of Nylon Spandex, with an industrial strength velcro hook and loop closure. Imagine your favourite yoga pants, wrapping you and your baby in a soft, stretchy hug.
Joeyband™ can be hand washed or machine washed. Bind the hook and loop prior to washing so it doesn’t snag on your other clothes.
Wash on a gentle, cool setting, and either air dry flat, or tumble dry low – just like you would your favourite swimsuit or athletic wear.
Steam any wrinkles out, if you wish!
