Please practice safe babywearing!
Always remember the following:
-
The sling must cup the baby's bottom and support as much of the baby's body as possible.
-
The baby's head should always be positioned higher than his or her bottom.
-
Inspect your sling often. Look at the rings, check fabric for tears, and make sure the stitching is secure.
-
Always make sure the baby is breathing clearly.
-
The sling should be under tension. A loose sling is not safe!
-
NEVER cook with baby in the sling.
-
ALWAYS bend at the knees if you need to pick something up.
-
Whoever is wearing the sling should feel like it makes the baby lighter to hold/ carry and that the sling is comfortable.
-
Avoid overheating your baby.
-
Do not let anyone use the sling who is not mature, responsible, and respectful of it and your baby.
