Lalabu Soothe Shirt (S, Pure Black)

I was anxiously waiting for the shirt as soon as it arrived I tried it on. It was difficult to wear first I thought its the size I ordered bigger size but then I realized its the fabric. It is not stretching therefore its hard to put on. I like the idea so much I didn't want to return the item the 2nd time so I went purchased a zipper and have it added on the side for easy wearing.

I love the idea of this shirt - it's just that I don't like wearing it as a shirt if the baby isn't in it. The top flap doesn't sit correctly under the bust so it looks and feels odd. And the baby doesn't love it, partially because I can't help her arrange her feet so they are not uncomfortable. Little slits on the pocket down below would help make it more usable.

Overall this is a great shirt for your newborn baby (if you have had a normal birth). It is not the greatest for someone who has had a cesarean section. By the time you have recovered from surgery the baby can already be too big for it, as it is in my case. I tried to wear my baby a few weeks after surgery but it caused me some pain. I wanted so badly for this shirt to work for me. I can see how wonderful it could be for someone who has not had surgery, to bond with your baby this way. I highly recommend this shirt for those who have not had a cesarean.It does run small, so you need to order a size larger. I am 5'5" and my normal weight is 120 pounds. I ordered a small but it was too small. Order a size larger to accommodate for your postpartum body. If you have a smaller bust the nursing part of the shirt does not work well. You have to pull down the shoulder strap to nurse. The shirt kind of digs into your armpits even if you get a larger size; baby's weight pulls down on it so it does improve while you are wearing baby.

Looks like it only fits very small babies. I am 5'4" and weigh 112lbs. The size small was so tight I couldn't get it on and the pocket was not near big enough for the baby. I think the large would fit better which is much different than the sizing guide, but the pocket will probably be too small for my long baby.

Was not strong enough for my 10 lb baby. She pulled the shirt down way below my breasts, making it impractical. It also cuts into the skin under the armpits. Also, I have a small chest and even in the small size there wasn't enough support.

Easy way to wear infant without having to bring any gear. Easy nursing access without looking obvious. Of course you may have a baby that grows out of it quickly, or you may have one that wears it for a long time. A bit difficult to get on/off in the early days.I purchased 2, an xs and a S. I'm 5'6" and was closer to 135# a week after birth but am normally 125#. Both fit me and my 9# newborn baby and my seemingly dolly parton ish boobs, so I would say the guidelines are good. It is tight, but if it wasn't tight at first it would stretch out too much and not support the baby properly. Consider how squished baby was in utero... They like being tightly held!

Bought a size small for a mom to be a few months ago. Now that she has the baby, it doesn’t fit. It runs extremely small. No option to return or exchange now.

LOVE this! For both nursing and carrying my babe around. Who wants to fuss with a carrier on-and-off all day?! I have the black and purple in size Small. Love the return policy to ensure accurate fit.Some ways to improve it would be to 1) add length at the bottom, creating a much more flattering look (especially with a post-baby belly) and to prevent it riding up with movement. I'm seriously considering having someone that sews add more length. 2) create more space behind the shoulder/upper arm. Fabric can rub and eventually feel uncomfortable.
