Líllébaby Complete Organic Giveaway

Líllébaby

My very first baby carrier from Líllébaby was one of their Complete Organic carriers. I was blown away by how buttery soft the fabric was right out of the package and from there on out, I was hooked.

Before my first daughter was born in 2011, I invested in a soft structured carrier with an infant insert and, when she was a few weeks old, I purchased a cotton-blend wrap.
