The Baby-Bag sling can be used directly after birth, because a newborn baby is carried in the foetal position. All neck and backbones are completely supported and for a newborn baby this is the most natural position.

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.

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.

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..

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.

The Baby-Bag sling can be used by everyone with a minimum size of 1.50 meter. It is very easy to adjust the Baby-Bag sling.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
