With the arrival of a new baby always comes the chance to try out fun new baby gear. While I'm not into having every gadget and gizmo, there are some products that are so good, they've really made my life easier as I learn to juggle four children.

I've been a longtime user of the Ergo baby carrier and love it so much that my husband and I each have our own! But the Ergo isn't ideal for babies younger than six months. Also, with a new split level home to navigate, I worried how I was going keep Shiloh close to me while still getting housework done. A few weeks before he was born, I purchased the Solly Baby wrap. So many mothers on Instagram touted how nice it was, I decided to give it a try!

Back when I was pregnant with my first, I had researched free-form baby wraps. But the complicated instructional videos intimidated me from trying it out. With the Solly Baby wrap, I actually watched founder Elle Rowley's how-to video while I was still recovering in the hospital. It was so easy to follow her directions, I taught my husband how to put it on and wear the baby before we even brought him home!

As many mothers have already said, the Solly Baby wrap is different from other wraps of similar design because the fabric is lighter and stretchier. Even with it wrapped several times around the body, it has a "barely-there" feel to it.

What I like most of all is how much I've been able to do while wearing Shiloh with the wrap. This list includes: vacuuming the stairs, sweeping the floor, changing my toddler's diaper, folding the laundry, washing the windows, cooking spaghetti, and yes, even using the bathroom. Seriously, it's been more functional than I even imagined!

If you are thinking about trying out a free-form baby wrap for your little one, I recommend the Solly Baby wrap with two thumbs up. In fact, I've loved mine so much that Solly Baby has graciously included a wrap to the "Brimful Favorites" giveaway we are hosting on Instagram later this week. So follow us there to get all the details!
