Stylish, practical babywearing with a message, and a real contribution to mother-friendly childbirth advocacy.
Moby Wraps, one of the most popular stretchy wraps for babywearing, is currently selling a custom-designed model sporting a “Born Free” butterfly logo, from the makers of The Business of Being Born (that’s Ricki Lake in the promo photo, along with the film’s director Abby Epstein).
A portion of the proceeds from sales of this wrap will go to support the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services, an organization now in its second decade. CIMS seeks to promote evidence-based maternity care, and states their mission as follows:
The Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS) is a coalition of individuals and national organizations with concern for the care and wellbeing of mothers, babies, and families. Our mission is to promote a wellness model of maternity care that will improve birth outcomes and substantially reduce costs. This evidence-based mother-, baby-, and family-friendly model focuses on prevention and wellness as the alternatives to high-cost screening, diagnosis, and treatment programs.

Neither of my children used a pacifier, well that’s not entirely true. My son used one for two weeks after having open heart surgery, but it quickly disappeared on the car ride home from the hospital. Many of my friends use pacifiers with their children to help them self-soothe, and there has been research supporting pacifiers help prevent SIDS. Fortunately, parents today have a choice in providing their children with pacifiers made from safer plastics.
Born Free was one of the first companies I encountered that offered BPA-free baby bottles and sippy cups. Now, Born Free is providing parents with BornFree BPA-free Pacifiers for Day and Night 
too! These pacifiers come in two sizes for ages 0-6 months and 6 + months. Made from materials that are 100% free of bisphenol-A, phthalates and PVC, these pacifiers feature a flexible handle, orthodontic silicone nipple, and a breathable shield. Gil Lemel, founder and CEO of BornFree explains, “BornFree is committed to only providing BPA-Free products. Our goal is to offer a smart and safe alternative for the entire family. The pacifier is the first of many products that will soon be available in our new orthodontic line.”
