More cuddles. Less crying. Closer from day one.
Joeyband's unique, patented design holds your baby safely on your chest, so you can relax into skin-to-skin moments. Mom, dad, grandma: anyone who loves them.
Those first few weeks and months at home with a baby are a blur of feeds, cuddles, and catnaps - some days your baby simply won’t settle unless they’re in your arms. You finally sink into the couch, hoping for a chapter of your book or an episode of your show, and right on cue, the fussing starts.
Joeyband makes these moments easier.
It goes on in seconds over your pajamas or whatever you happen to be wearing, or skin-to-skin for those precious bonding moments, with no special shirts to hunt down. Your newborn nestles close, calmed by your warmth and heartbeat, while your arms get a much-needed break.
Baby is soothed and you get a moment to breathe, which in those early days makes all the difference.
The simplest gift you can give your baby
Your warmth, heartbeat and scent are exactly what a newborn is looking for.
Babies held skin-to-skin are 12 times less likely to cry.
Evidence Based Birth
Deeper bonding
Skin-to-skin releases oxytocin, the "love hormone", easing stress for both of you.
Calmer, better sleep
Your heartbeats sync, promoting peaceful sleep and happy awakenings.
Breastfeeding ally
Supports latching in the Golden Hour and beyond.
Healthy development
Supports weight gain, sleep patterns and sensory development.
Not just for mom
Dads and non-birthing parents, siblings, grandparents and caregivers with disabilities can all use it. Just 30 minutes of uninterrupted skin-to-skin helps build that emotional bond.
One band, the whole first year
Adjusts to your changing body after pregnancy, fits one baby, twins or triplets, and doubles as a postpartum belly band. Additional uses for up to two years: added support when forward-facing, wherever you may need it - lap, highchair, grocery cart.
On in under a minute
Wrap it on
Soft 4-way stretch fabric with a hook-and-loop closure. No zippers, no fiddly buckles.
Tuck baby in
Place baby upright on your bare chest, head turned to one side so airways stay clear.
Relax & enjoy
Baby stays snug and secure while your hands are free. Keep baby's face uncovered and in view.
Keep using your Joeyband after skin-to-skin
Once your baby has outgrown skin-to-skin (eventually, they get too squirmy), there are other ways to use the device and get the most out of your Joeyband™:
Forward Facing on your lap, or as added support in a chair.
