Testimonials

“Joeyband, I will forever thank you for your product. I will forever thank you for existing and changing our lives the way you did.”

@BeingThisMama

“My husband loved the Joeyband even more than I did – I think it helps him feel that special bond that a lot of mothers feel through the nursing relationship. I anticipate my husband will be using this product a lot before parental leave is over.”

Alyssa J.

“At 11 days old I finally had the chance to hold them at the same time. I was so excited as they placed each twin on my chest…. When my Joeyband arrived everything changed. I still couldn’t take them in or out alone but I could finally sit in a hospital chair with my babies strapped onto me and feel safe.”

@BeingThisMama

"(I) found the Joeyband to be useful both in the hospital and even now that we are at home. It allowed me to maximize my skin to skin time in the hospital and aided in breastfeeding because it supported my baby without the need for a bulky pillow. This took some of the strain off my back and neck. When I wasn’t using it to hold my daughter, I used it as a belly band to support my newly postpartum belly.”

Can skin-to-skin contact improve breastfeeding success?

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to promote breastfeeding success is through skin-to-skin contact. Skin-to-skin contact helps your newborn instinctually seek the breast, enhances milk production, reduces stress for both you and your baby, and helps establish a regular feeding routine. It also improves your baby's gut health and immunity, facilitates better latching, and promotes overall well-being.

Breastfeeding can be challenging, but with skin-to-skin contact, you can create a favourable environment for a positive breastfeeding journey. Using a Joeyband™ can increase skin-to-skin contact time and, at the same time, improve your breastfeeding success.

Can fathers and other caregivers use a Joeyband™?

Absolutely! Thanks to its adjustable design, the Joeyband™ can be used by any caregiver. Skin-to-skin contact between a baby and any caregiver provides many benefits for both.

Just 30 minutes of uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact between a father and his newborn can wire their brain to create an emotional bond. It's a powerful and natural way to strengthen the connection between a father and his baby.
