As all parents know, especially new parents, the WORST time of day with a new baby is from 5 to 7 pm. This is truly the "witching hour".
I remember one night in particular very well, but not exactly fondly, 1)  making mac and cheese, 2)  nursing my infant son, and 3)  feeding my toddler dinner ALL AT THE SAME TIME, during our nightly "witching hour". It didn't take long for me to figure out I needed a way to keep my new son close to me and happy, while I fed and attended to my older son. Because my little guy was too small for an infant carrier, the perfect solution was a sling. 

Alas, the Heavenly Bundle entered my life, for my heavenly bundle. In my experience, by placing my baby in the sling during that "witching hour", he would relax, and often fall asleep, which was perfect. This gave him that necessary mini-nap, so he wasn't overtired at bedtime, and I could help my older son…hands free!

The design of the Heavenly Bundle is terrific. It is perfectly constructed to keep baby safe, secure, and happy, while being comfortable for mom. And the fabric choices are absolutely gorgeous. I have the "Boudoir Blue" sling with chocolate colored lining. Joanne Butenko, designer and founder of Heavenly Bundle, Inc., created not only a functional product, but she also created the most stunning, fashionable, unique slings as well. When you visit Heavenly Bundle, you will be challenged to find your favorite fabric, as they are all so lovely.

The feature I love the most about the Heavenly Bundle, and Joanne's wisdom, is the sizing. On the website, she recommends how to measure yourself for the perfect fit.  The measurements take in to consideration your CURRENT size, and your PRE-PREGNANCY size. In other words, Joanne understands your chest may be "a tad" different now than it was before, or will be in the future! Because of this, my sling fit perfectly.

I can't think of a better gift for a new mom than a sling. She will love the intimacy of being "connected" to her child, and the luxury of having two free hands! May 13th is Mother's Day…make some mom's day and bless her heavenly bundle with a Heavenly Bundle.
