Christina Rule asked:
Is this a new way of carrying your baby? At least this may be so in the Western world though more and more people are using the baby sling. In fact, baby slings have been used for centuries in different parts of the world in one form or another. Let me explain. Baby slings come in many different styles, color and fabric choices.
There is the Ring sling, Ergo-baby carrier, Hostling's adjustable pouch, Mei Tai, Maya Wraps, Cargo Bean Sling just to name a few. The style you pick may depend on the weight of your baby, the activities you want to do and also whether it suits your image. Some of these slings are made in organic fabrics,some available in mesh that allows baby's skin to breathe while others come in stretchy type material. Some styles include rings for a more distinctive look, while others have side release buckles that are made of metal. Others have fabric ties.
Some slings come with a removable sleep hood that shades infant from sun or wind. There are even versatile straps that can be worn crossed or ruck-sacked (not crossed) when carrying your precious cargo. Some of these baby slings are better worn for carrying baby in front, while others are more suitable for front and back carriers. There are those that prefer carrying baby to the side of the hip.You will have a better feel on how you wish to carry your baby. Some wraps, like the Maya Wrap baby slings are stylish, comfortable and adjustable. Others like the Munchkin Jelly Bean Reversible sling gives you great value for money as you can have two different styles for the price of one.
There are so many good reasons to use baby slings or baby carriers. When some of these slings are used it means:
Hands-Free for Mum or Dad to do other chores around the house or in the garden. Also by having hands-free it is great for holding onto other children while having your baby in a sling. It also allows you to go places together like traveling in a crowded public transport as you have that feeling of keeping your baby close and secure to you. Most babies love to be carried and held close to your chest. This provides a warm and cosy feeling. Baby slings also provide wonderful bonding between parent and child. One cannot help feeling of those maternal instincts "kicking in" when protecting your baby so close to you. There is great interaction between baby and you. Touching, kissing, cuddling your baby strengthens the bond between your baby and yourself. Baby slings always seem to help your baby fall asleep in record time.The lull of your heart beat almost has a hypnotic effect on the child.
