      Regarding the Use of the word Rebozo in babywearing:

      Rebozo has been used among wrapping parents in Europe and the USA for a few decades to mean either a short (size 1 or size 2) wrap or a wrap pass that goes over one shoulder, across baby, and under your opposite arm without going between baby’s legs.

      A Rebozo is actually a very specific kind of shawl used by women in Mexico and other parts of Central America for many things including, but not limited to, baby carrying. And it turns out the history and tradition of the Rebozo is highly significant and important to the culture.

      For this reason, the babywearing community at large has decided to stop using the word out of respect for it’s true meaning and significanceĀ ❤️

      A short wrap can be referred to by size as all other wrap sizes are. Afterall, a short woven wrap is not generally woven using the traditional techniques, fibers, and designs utilized by true rebozo artisans.

      And a “rebozo pass” is now referred to as a “sling pass” or “Traditional Sling Pass” since it was learned from a traditional carrying style and not invented by modern wrap-users.
