Description
The rebozo is a traditional, handwoven shawl from Mexico and Central America. These rebozos are made on a backstrap loom, a traditional method widely used in various indigenous cultures in Mexico and Central America to create intricate textiles.
Originally, rebozos are used in Mexico, all through Central America and South America for all manner of things such as a knapsack, as a cold weather warp, as a baby carrier, as protection from sunshine, or folded on the head to carry large and heavy objects.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Support
Used by Mexican midwives for centuries, the rebozo provides support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. It can:
- Wrap around the stomach and hips for extra support.
- Aid in rebozo massages to relax and ease tension.
- Help position the baby for birth, enhancing the bond with the birthing team.
Postpartum Care
Post-birth, the rebozo supports the womb’s recovery, aiding in the body’s return to its pre-pregnancy state while offering energetic protection.
Babywearing
The rebozo is ideal for carrying your baby, promoting attachment, safety, and bonding while keeping you mobile.
