Sling - it's still quite simple and convenient invention, which allows the mother to fix the baby on her body. With the help of this accessory for newborns, mothers' hands always remain free, and the baby is not deprived of its closeness, because the constant contact of the baby with the mother affects the normal development of the child. It is for this reason that the sling for newborns is popular, the wearing habits of which, in all cases, not only make it easier to walk with the baby, but also help him to always stay close to his mother.
Sling is a patchwork holder for carrying a child. To date, sling has become much more convenient: new models were made of new materials with dense inserts, Velcro, pockets and the ability to adjust its position and the degree of tension of the edges with the help of special rings that are on it. Sling, as a rule, is worn through the mother's shoulder and can safely perform the function of the cradle or become a "sedentary place" for newborns. You can use this product from birth to the time when the mother herself will not be able to wear her child (approximately, up to 2-3 years). In other words, the sling does not have clearly defined limitations as to what age or weight the child should be in. A feature of the sling for newborns is the ways of wearing, which can be varied. The child can be in a lying, semi-lying state, sit upright, face and back to the mother. By the way, the ways of placing a sling on a woman can also be different, for example, it can be worn not only on the chest, but also on the hips, back and, most importantly, this position can be changed without taking the child directly on yourself.
It is very important to have a few slings. For daily use of the house, a single-layered classic sling that fits the rings is excellent. It can be sewn from satin or calico. Its feature is lightness, i.e., it is easy to put on and just as effortlessly removed, even if the baby falls asleep right in it.
Wearing options for sling
Consider the same basic provisions, which can take a baby, whose mother has already managed to recognize all the comforts of the slings.
"Cradle"
We wrap the sling around the mother's body over the shoulder. On this arm will be placed rings, using which it is necessary to regulate the overall level of how the sling itself should be pulled at the moment. After that, we put the baby in the formed pocket and tighten the edges of the sling, making sure that the child was as comfortable in it as possible and that he felt comfortable. Using this method of wearing a newborn, one should remember the important detail - the mother with her right hand should remember to support the baby's head.
Vertical sitting position
To carry the child in this position, we take the starting position, as in the first version. We wrap the sling over the mother's shoulder, make sure that the rings are placed on the shoulder, and the pocket itself is in front. Then we put the child in this pocket so that he would wrap his legs around his mother's waist. To distribute the sling is necessary so that he can support the crumb as much as possible while sitting, while the baby himself at that moment felt free. This method of wearing a child requires a lot of preparation, both for the mother herself and for the baby.
Thoracic position
The starting position does not differ from previous versions of carrying a child. The only difference in this method is that the child sits on the mother's thigh, and his legs at that moment clasp the mother's side. After such arrangement of crumbs it is necessary to tighten the upper and lower edges of the patch holder. Due to this, the child will be able to independently adopt a position convenient for him, in which he will not make any difficulty to consider all that is happening and to know the world.
And lastly, all these methods are good for walking with a crumb, but it's always worth remembering that depending on how much you tie the child towards yourself, depends on his comfort (either he is sleeping or awake). And the most important thing in using for carrying a baby sling is your duty to follow the edges of the fabric, they do not have to crush or cut the delicate skin of the crumbs.
