Obviouspluses
Actually, such a plus one, but it is huge - it's absolute mobility. What strains, just freaks out most moms around the world? The fact that you need to constantly be with the child, do not go anywhere, do nothing, not to meet with anyone. Young people get stuck in a kind of circle: the house - the children's playground - the house. This can cause a serious depression, even in the most loving and devoted to her mother's duty of a woman. Sling gives the main thing - freedom of action. The child is always with you - at the same time you can do whatever you want. You can wash the dishes, cook, go shopping or meet friends. And the child will be calm, relaxed and cheerful, feeling my mother's warmth and care.
Another plus for those who breastfeed. A baby can be fed at any time, as soon as he asks. He will suck his milk, and my mother will be easy to work on their own affairs. No calculations, regimes, selection of poses for feeding and fear that milk is small and not enough for a child. Many mothers who have chosen slingdl for the constant wearing of children are fit to feed even on the street, right in time for a walk.
Of course, only in the summer. But even a simple stay near the chest already soothes him, and lactation from this only improves. With this, even doctors do not argue.
Not so obvious cons
The fact that the child is always near you is, on the one hand, wonderful. On the other hand, while the baby is very small, the mothers agree that they are calmer, they do not poke, they can better tolerate colic, teeth and other troubles. After all, mom will always comfort, creep, calm. But when the child grows up, moms notice that without a slip leave it just in bed for a minute - this is already a problem. The child does not want to part with her mother at three or four years, go to the garden - a whole test, and later depend on This is proven: children who spend time in the sling are very, very dependent on the mother, but it's good or bad - everyone decides for himself.
Now we will leave psychology and go to medicine. Carrying a child constantly on yourself is a burden. With the growth of the baby, this load also increases. And the spine becomes stronger, no matter how hard you train. He has his own natural limit of strength, and in his "plans" to strain 24 hours a day under the weight of an ever-growing chadaug, is definitely not included. What do faithful sling mother say? They do not deny that the back "aches" that it can be very difficult to wear, especially when the kids begin to spin and jump in the sling, but they all take these inconveniences, as a gift. Like, I'm a mother - I have to endure. But is there pain? There is. And problems with sopina, humeral joints and feet at mummies too is - it can not be denied. There are official data of doctors on this score, whatever one may say.
Now the siege to the little one. Is it so convenient and safe for him? That's what the experts say: to wear a baby in any sling until 3-4 months is dangerous for his life! It's up to you to decide whether or not to do it yourself again. But is not it just that the mothers' doctors are so careful? What, in the end, does it make sense to lie and exaggerate? Your child - yes you do, they say, what you want! And they say it's dangerous. And that's why. A prolonged stay of a small person in a forced position disrupts his cerebral blood circulation. And to carry a baby who does not yet know how to hold the head, vertically - is completely inadmissible. The head will fall back, which will block the blood circulation inside the vertebral artery, and this is a sure death. But we must admit - if you do it competently, pick up the sling by age and the size of the baby, properly put it on and put the baby there, then there will not be any problems. That is, the danger is not in the sling itself, but only in its incorrect use. A child with the same probability can suffocate in a wheelchair, in a crib, and even with a maternity's pant leg (which often happens), if one does not care about the issue of safety.
In common opinion of specialists
Three things are indisputable: the sling relieves mothers of depression due to the inability to live a full life, it gives the child a constant sense of calm and care, he facilitates the establishment of close psychological contact between the mother and the baby. And whatever the opponents of this fashionable nowadays accessory say, the supporters of it are becoming more and more. Sling, if properly used, can solve many of the problems of moms who do not want to "fall out" of life during maternity leave. After all, this invention of the age of eternity, so that it, like no other attribute of childcare, is checked by time. And approved by modern moms and their kids.
