Pouch baby slings have been used for centuries. The natural curve in the sling creates a deep, form fitting and safe environment for the baby.

Your Monkey Bums sling is very safe! However, while you are learning to use your sling please keep one hand on your baby at all times (once you have it down you will see what a piece of cake it is!!) Be careful going around corners and edges and while bending down with your baby. We recommend not cooking with your baby in the sling. It may take a day or two to get used to your sling so be cautious until you feel comfortable then have fun trying new ways to carry your baby!!

Convenient and private breastfeeding is so easy while wearing your baby sling. The cradle carry is the position used most often for a baby of any age. The baby sling itself will not hold your baby tightly enough to maintain a "latch" at the breast. You can support your baby's back and head with your arm along the outside of the baby sling. To nurse, position your baby on her side so that she is facing the breast without turning her head.

Keeping a baby upright rather than lying on the back can help stop the acid refluxing and vomiting that babies with reflux are prone to. We have survived two babies with pretty severe reflux and can say that as a whole these babies prefer to be carried in an upright carrying position (achieved with a carrier like the Wilkinet, or a wraparound style carrier). As soon as the baby has settled after a feed you can put them in the sling.

Stetchy wraps are great for newborns and smaller babies, especially those that like to be carried a lot. They are often easier to use than most people think and have the benefit of being possible to leave on and popping the baby in and out - ideal for those frequent nappy changes! They also wash and dry easily, especially the fleece wraparounds. A pouch is perfect for the 'up and down' child, as they are usually of a sleek design and can be left on (or popped in a bag or pocket) when not in use.

Machine wash light coloured baby slings in warm water. Do not use bleach. Wash dark coloured baby slings alone for the first washing. Wash separately from light colours after this. Hang to dry, then fluff in the dryer or tumble dry on medium setting and remove promptly when finished. THE LITTLE STAR BABY SLING HAS BEEN SIZED FOR FIT AFTER IT HAS BEEN WASHED AND DRIED!

If you are buying for a baby under 5 months old we would recommend a wraparound sling. They spread the weight evenly across both shoulders, your back and your torso and are amazingly comfortable to use. If you are buying for a baby 5 months or older a wraparound sling is still a good option. For much heavier older babies a woven wraparound like the Ellaroo Wrap has a slight advantage over the stretchy wraps as it supports your back a little better.

Research confirms that babies who are frequently carried are more contented, learn more, suffer far less from colic and cry approximately 50% less. Doctors have also reported that parents who carry their babies often, are more responsive and sensitive to their babies' needs. Parents who carry their babies develop a deeper connection with their little ones, and their babies develop trust in their carer's more quickly. Read more..

Yes. At first, a small newborn will snuggle in the sling completely, and then as baby grows, you will switch to a different position - legs out, side carry, etc. See how i am using the same exact sling to carry my newborn and my almost-3 year old.

Most medications used carry very little risk. For some drugs, blood levels are checked periodically to ensure that the baby is receiving a safe dose. Infants are given medications only when the possible benefits of the medications outweigh their risks. In other words, an infant is at lower risk receiving a medication, than if that medication were not given. Efforts are made to use the minimum number of drugs possible, and to stop them when they are no longer needed.

The sling works in two ways. Firstly the hammock of material you create in various positions cradles the baby, supporting underneath and to the two sides. Secondly, the cinching of the strap holds the baby against your body. Sling wearing is a dynamic process. Shifts in your position will slightly move the distribution of weight. Bending forward from the waist will cause the sling to swing away from your body and must be avoided, bend your knees instead when picking up.

Most slings are offered with leg padding. This padding cushions your baby's thighs when in the hip, back, or tummy to tummy carries. This padding adds no bulk to the sling so you can still fold it compactly into a purse or diaper bag!

There is a dizzying array of baby slings and other soft cloth carriers, and it’s challenging to know which one will be best for you and your baby. Maybe this will help you narrow down the choices a bit. While a lot it depends on your personal preferences, there are other factors that come into play like: an example, when my oldest was born I tried the padded sling styles (NoJo, Over the Shoulder Baby Holder) for awhile but found them too bulky, like wearing a pillow around my torso.

Be confident. Some babies fall asleep with an experienced wearer, but seem to sense the lack of confidence their parents might have the first time around. We strongly encourage you to keep trying because you will not be disappointed with the freedom a sling offers!

You can carry a child in the Baby-Bag sling up to approx 18 months old. The maximum weight for the Baby-Bag sling is 15 kilos, however at this weight most children are much older.

A –If you are new to slinging, practise with a doll until you are confident about how it works. Don’t try to get your baby into the sling when you are in a rush. Once you have your baby in place, have a little stroll around – the movement will usually calm your baby right down. A - It could be that your baby is not quite ready for an upright position. Stick with the Cradle hold until your baby can sit steadily.

Parents can generally wear more than one size baby sling. You can wear the baby sling low down near your hips, or high up on your chest. It must be sized so that getting the baby sling on and off is easy and getting the baby in and out is not a struggle. If it is, it's too small. If your legs knock the baby when you walk, it's too big. Everyone is different but many find a "perfect fit" is when the baby is worn above the waist.

Babies naturally fold themselves up when newborn. Baby will let you know if he or she is uncomfortable or needs a break from the sling. Always check to make sure your baby has a free airway at all times. A pouch is an unadjustable sling, like an unbroken tube of fabric with no rings, clips or ties. A ring sling works in a similar way, but is adjustable as the fabric pulls through the rings to change the size of the sling.

Included with each sling is a video showing the proper position for breastfeeding. Always keep a close watch on your baby while nursing and never use a nipple shield while nursing your baby in a carrier.

Answer: Yes, you can get your baby in the carrier by yourself without the help of any one or anything. I recommend you practice several times with the help of someone, until you feel comfortable with the process. By this time your baby will also be familiar and will help by lifting his leg and hanging on to your back. It also helps to practice in front of a mirror so both you and your baby can make visual connection with what you are doing.

In the Baby-Bag sling a baby is carried in the foetal position, similar to the position in the womb. For adults this position is not so comfortable, so seen through our adult eyes this looks unpleasant, but do not forget that this is the most natural position for a newborn baby. The baby recognizes this position and feels safe and secure.

A baby is lying in a natural position and all neck- and backbones are completely supported. Besides this the position is not static: the Baby-Bag sling is made of soft fabric, so the child moves along with the carrier. This means that you can carry a baby in the Baby-Bag sling for several hours without any problem.

ZoloWear slings are built to last, but always check your sling or pouch for wear or damage before you go out. If you find damage and wonder if you should use it, don't.

The first priority is the care and well being of the baby. Stem cell extraction is very safe because the blood is collected after the cord has been separated from your baby. Neither you nor your baby will feel anything since this procedure is only done after the cord has been detached. The only thing you will feel is the blood sample drawn from you for the purposes of maternal blood testing.

In order to keep your baby's a safe place, you should make sure to all connections are secure and that there are no broken or missing parts. Regularly, check the teething rail for splits or cracks. Make sure the mattress spring support and your crib will withstand your baby's increasing mobility. The mattress itself should have no splits, tears, or holes.
