How to choose the baby sling or wrap that is right for you

This video demonstrates how to choose a sling or wrap to wear your baby. Baby wearing is the most healthy way to carry your baby. Studies prove all babies need to be carried to thrive. Research shows that babies that are held often develop better, sleep more peacefully, cry less, are more calm & content, & nurse better with improved digestion. Every time a baby is worn, the brain develops & grows. Wearing your baby ensures a happy baby.

hi there thank you for video I use a wheelchair and was wondering if the last wrap the long cloth would be most pratical as it looks more adaptive from baby to toddler.

is this possible. can you use from new born or does baby need to be supporting head before this still can be used.... I start Ivf june so i being a bit hopeful still lol... thanks again

If you have paralysis above your waist, you may find that it might be difficult to manage a wrap & you should use the ring sling. Otherwise, I would recommend the wrap for versatility. Both the ring sling & wrap are good for newborns & up to 45lbs. Good Luck with your IVF! Best wishes to you! Let me know if you have more questions.

@aikoart many thanks for reply. having looked more I can see ring sling could be the thing...

So glad I could help. Please email me if you need further instructions. Depending on your frame size & back strength, you might be able to pull off a pouch sling too. I don't use a pouch sling but a dear friend of mine only uses the pouch.

this was very informative. i would really like to try this (especially the last one) when i have mine, but i think i might be too paranoid to do it. is it really secure? and i see where you said to start this from birth but is the last sling you showed ok for new borns??? and can you breast feed like that? i heard something about breast feeding in a sling but i dont get it

[aikoart]

I can imagine your worry. It is very secure & will be great for newborns. They are used to being in the womb & LOVE being next to mama!

You can breastfeed with a sling. Just google it to find pictures. Let me know if you have more questions. Good luck & congratulations!!!

What was the metal sling you had that had the pocket? I SO want one of those! I have the Nojo and love it, but I think the pocket would be very handy! :)

Wow, thank you for this video! I am some 88 days away from welcoming my second sweet baby into the world and I have a moby and access to a few other slings. This video made it simple for me to choose which will be right for me.

That first sling was recalled because baby smothered in it. Its design makes it impossible to use safely.
