I was recently contacted by the founder of a great company called Lalabu. She was wondering if I’d be interested in reviewing an innovative new product for moms — the Soothe Shirt.
The Soothe Shirt is a clever, simpler alternative to traditional baby-wearing, uh… contraptions. There are no straps, ties, or buckles — you simply wear it as you would any other shirt. So easy! It has a has a snug yet stretchable fit, with a pouch in the front that effortlessly holds your little one against your chest. There’s also a built-in nursing bra for breastfeeding.
The Soothe Shirt is designed to hold babies up to 15 pounds, but you can continue to use the shirt the entire time you breastfeed.
Of course, my girls are too big for baby-wearing now, so I couldn’t technically review this product, but believe me… If I had a chance to use it when they were smaller, I would have been all over it.
I had tried a couple different baby wraps and just found them to be way too frustrating/annoying to use on a regular basis. They took forever to wrap/tie/buckle and I always needed another pair of hands to help me put it on securely. I definitely don’t miss the days of standing in a parking lot for ten minutes, fumbling around with wraps and carriers while the girls sat in the car wondering when the hell mommy and daddy were going to take them out. I would have LOVED to have a Soothe Shirt back then. (Though I’m not sure my husband would have been too keen on wearing one.) 😉
I totally made it clear that I wouldn’t be able to review it by actually using it as intended, but they still offered to send me a Soothe Shirt so I could get a better idea of what it looks/feels like in person. I was very impressed with the quality of the material and the overall coverage/length of the shirt. Since it’s basically a tank top, you can easily layer it with your regular clothes. Love that!
To give you a better idea of how it’s worn, I’m sharing one of their videos that shows a typical “day in the life” of a Soothe Shirt.
The Soothe Shirt comes in 3 different colors — pure black, chocolate brown, and rich purple. Sizes are available in XS through XL.
This would make a great gift for soon-to-be mommas — and if you don’t know what size to get, no problem! They offer gift cards that can be delivered via email, as well as physical gift cards that you can present to the lucky momma in person.
Oh, and did I mention that Lalabu gives one dollar from every sale to women in Africa? And that one day out of each week their employees help volunteer at local women’s shelters? Yep. They’re pretty awesome. 😉

This would be for me… I would use it all the time, but I also know several people who would probably love one as well!
Pregnant with my first! Would love this.
I would keep this for me 🙂
I would love to win this for myself, I actually have baby girl #2 due on the 20th of this month!! I have never had one of these, but I really would love to try it!!
I would love to give this shirt to my sister-in-law for her little bundle on the way!
I would have loved to have had one of these shirts when my children were little. I would love to give one to my daughter who is expecting my 1st grandchild this July.
I’d like to win this for myself. Our new little boy will be here in 9 weeks (or less!).
I would love to win for myself. This looks so nice for the first few weeks with baby.
What a great idea! I can’t wait to wear baby#2 and this would be so perfect for when he is just itty bitty.
I would be so excited to win this, my best friend is expecting and would love one.
I’d love to win this for my sister in law who is due with my first nephew in a couple months. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous I didn’t find this when my kids were younger though!
Would love to win for myself! I have a two year old and am expecting a girl next month so this would be great for her!
We are still TTC so while I would love to win it for myself, if we aren’t successful I know my friend due in September would love it!
Awesome giveaway! My sister would love this! 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
This Would Be Great For Baby #2! Looks So Simple!
For myself! We have a second coming in July 🙂
I am hoping to win a Soothe Shirt for my daughters first child. It looks like a comfortable and stylish product. thank you
I’ve been searching for the best baby carrier, and this looks like something I could enjoy instead of get frustrated over!
I’d like to win this for my next one(if it happens) or to give as a baby shower gift.. whichever comes first.
Would love to get this for my friend teaching at college, and my long time friend in Houston, TX ; one due in March and one in July!
Wish it would have been around for my two sweeties! (It reminds me of something I tried to improvise back then.) The lalabu is much more beautiful – and safe!
This would be for my sister. She is currently trying to conceive – hopefully any day now!
For my cousin
Such an outstanding idea never seen anything like it would love to have it for my granddaughter coming in May!!! So Cute I could picture & see her in that pouch an excellent baby shower gift!!!
I’d keep it for our little one due in less than 2 weeks!!
I’m hoping to win one for myself. I bought a baby carrier at a local department store and was totally surprised when I brought it home and it took me about half an hour to figure out how to put it on and take it off. I know my son was looking at me funny and probably thinking, “Mommy, what are you doing?” Needless to say, I promptly returned it the next day.
I would like this for me.
I would LOVE to win one for myself and my little baby due in September!!
I am hoping to win one of these for myself. I’m rather cheap/stingy and never splurge on anything I want. For a woman who won’t pay more than $10 for a shirt, $60 is a little overboard for me. But I really want one! My second baby is due on Easter (two days after my birthday!) and winning one of these shirts would be awesome. Then, I could use it and decide if I want to spend the $60 on another one or two. It seems like it would be worth the money, but it takes a lot to get me to spend money!
me! Due in 12 days!
I would love one! This would be perfect for when I have my baby. ♥
I am due April 12th and would love to win this for me and my new baby girl!! 😀
I would LOVE to win this sooth shirt for my daughter due in June! I have a 20 month old son, so I just know that with a toddler and newborn, it would get a LOT of good use!
