I have to start my blogging reviews with my most favorite baby gadget I have found yet... The Hulabye. A Hulabye is a super soft vest that attaches to any contoured changing pad to prevent your child from rolling around during diaper changes. If I encountered this product a few months ago, I would have likely deemed it unnecessary and passed on the $35-$45 purchase. However, once your baby becomes even slightly mobile, this product is a lifesaver.
Kennedy was a little of a late bloomer where rolling over was concerned, but about 10 weeks ago, she decided it was the COOLEST thing ever...making diaper changes virtually impossible. I actually began changing her on the floor, using my feet to hold her arms still, while I changed her diaper. I also got a very strange look when telling our babysitter that this was a necessary way to get the job done (she understood once she set out on the endeavor solo!). I knew that there had to be a better way. So I googled something like "baby squirming on changing table" and this website came up. I saw the item, ordered immediately, and it has been all that I hoped for and more! It is very comfortable for Kennedy and super easy to put on. I originally bought the Hulabye to help me simply keep her still while changing her, however, I have really come to realize that it is a matter of safety as well. Wiggly babies on the changing table can be very dangerous, and although you should never leave your child alone on the table, this makes me feel as though she could not spontaneously learn to jump, hop, or leap off the changer (I was not so sure before)!
While raving about this product to my mom and grandmother, my mom commented (via group iPhone text...my grandmother is super cool!) "They should make those for adults!"
My grandmother replied "They do... they are called Straight Jackets."
