A Rebozo wrap or sling provides maximum support and your little baby gets a feeling of security and closeness.
Our handwoven rebozos are dense and soft with diagonal stretch that is ergonomically best for both baby and mother/partner. Can be used from newborn – age 0-5 years.
Babies are in a safe place, cry less and sleep more heart to heart or on their mother’s back. They feel her breath, her heart and remember the womb. Babies who are in close contact with their mother/father are more comfortable, calm and feel secure. A rebozo is safe and ergonomically correct. It provides optimal support for a growing baby’s head and spine.
From newborn to 5 years – with the same density as a woven wrap, but feels soft and follows the child’s and mother’s or partner’s body. An autentic rebozo is handwoven and as such there is no limit to how much you can carry your baby/child as long as you follow our safety instructions – read safety instructions here.

The difference between a sling and a wrap isthe shorter lengths are called slings and the longer lengths are called wraps. They differ in that the length of a sling is enough to tie the sling and carry the child over one shoulder and the length of a wrap is enough to tie the wrap and carry the child over both shoulders.

Your rebozo can also be used for rebozo massage, which is recommended by midwives for pregnant women. Last but not least, it also looks great as a scarf, so you can carry your fond memories with you for years to come.
Rebozo massage is a holistic non-invasive method to support pregnant women through their pregnancy, the method is originally from Mexico. It is a gentle, effective pregnant massage developed over many generations by skilled midwives who have experienced first-hand how it helps pregnant women through pregnancy, labour and postnatal periods.
Massaging with a authentic handwoven rebozo targets muscles on the pregnant woman that can’t be reached with ordinary massage with hands or other types of fabric. A rebozo is also much easier to work with for a professional (midwife, doula, obstetrician, etc.) as the effect is achieved by less physical work, where the stretch and meassurement support the massager and the fabric easily grips, unlike other fabric types which do not envelop in the same way and can slip around during the massage.
Rebozo massage has the special effect of both relieving pregnancy discomfort and treating pain in pregnant women, and rebozo massage massages deeper in a safe way so that, for example by relaxing the deep muscles in the pelvis, you positively affect the baby with rocking movements and create better space for the baby in the belly.
This is one of the reasons why, with the right technique, rebozo massage can both rotate the baby into the right birthing position – ready for birth, the massage can labor stimulate and you can make painless reversal attempts in a natural and safe way for both mother and baby.
The rebozo technique loosens the pelvic muscles, which can help support the child’s rotation through the birth path and correct inappropriate head positions. Rebozo massage can in many cases support the avoidance of caesarean section.
If you’re pregnant and want to try baby rotation, reversal attempt or labor stimulation, consult a professional who works with rebozo massage in their practice. This could be a midwife, doula or obstetrician. You are also welcome to contact us and we will be happy to send you a list of professionals who have experience with rebozo massage.
Did you know that rebozo massage can also be used to create calm and reassurance for children with, for example, autism, ADHD or particular sensitivities, as they may feel discomfort from sensory or physical touch. A rebozo´s measurement and stretch touches and massages in a pleasant not overwhelming way and the child receives a physical touch of the cloth that is not overstimulating but soothing. It can help your baby to calm down and fall asleep.

A sling is shorter in length than a wrap. A sling is long enough to be tied over one shoulder or back, whereas a wrap is long enough to be tied over two shoulders. Below we share some tips and video guides for tying slings and wraps.
You can both finish your binding of the sling or the wrap with a knot or 1-2 rings. A sling closed with rings is called a ring sling. We have not heard anyone use the term ring wrap, but it is possible to close/tie a wrap with a ring. You can see it in one of our videos.
We recommend that you occasionally check that the baby is at a good temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. Check the baby’s neck by feeling it: If it is warm and wet/sweaty, the baby is too warm. Then you can take a break from carrying the baby or take off some clothes or wear skin-to-skin. If the neck is cold, the baby is too cold. Put on some more clothes on the baby. The baby’s neck should be warm and reasonably dry.
It is recommended to carry the child facing the mother/father/partner for safety and to avoid too many impressions – up to 8-9 months at least before turning the child outwards or carrying it on the back.
Tips – Newborn baby: fold a cloth into the fabric of the sling behind the neck/back of the head of the newborn baby for even more support and security.
Choosing a rebozo for a sling or wrap and following our safety instructions will ensure an ergonomically correct position for your baby, and as such there are no restrictions on how long baby can sit in the sling or wrap. Yet, remember to check your baby regularly according to the safety instructions when you carry it. Timespand: You should go with what you feel most comfortable with for your baby. ♥
A rebozo can also be called a kind of baby carrier, as it is used to carry the baby and can be made adjustable with slip-knot knots or rings. As it has a woven stretch and follows the movements of mother and baby, it is more comfortable and gentle on baby’s spine when used as a sling or wrap.
Wash the product before use*: For cleanliness and for the stretch of the fabric to “set”. Tie the fringes together with a hair elastic and wash at 30º.
*Do not tumble dry.
SLYNGE: Hang to dry “in waves” – over 2 clotheslines. It is best for the rebozo.
WAVE: Hang to dry “in waves” – over 4 clotheslines. It is best for the rebozo.
*We recommend that you use a mild and unscented detergent/washing powder. E.g. labelled with “Svanemærket” and “Astma-Allergi Danmark”.)
