So why can not a kid make friends with a sling? We will not hurry, because we also learned to walk and talk not for an hour ... Therefore, a few tips will not harm you. How to choose the right sling with rings, how to wear it and whether it is necessary at all.
Practical recommendations
The main reason for the baby's anxiety is mom's anxiety. The less dexterously and confidently the mother keeps the baby in her arms, the more the baby is worried. As a rule, a mother who deftly and correctly wears a crumb on her hands, successfully uses and sling. If you did not have the experience of caring for kids, train on dolls during pregnancy. When the baby was born, hold it as much as possible in your arms. Check if your sensations are similar to the sensations during a difficult exam? Have not you delayed breathing? If the answer to any of these questions is positive, do not worry! Have you noticed the tension? Think about how to relax, and it will go away by itself. Sometimes you just need to change your pose. Consider in the mirror if the baby is sitting correctly. His position in the sling should repeat his posture in your arms. Sometimes the crumb suffers physical discomfort. Someone likes to bury their face in their mother, some do not. Someone likes to sit in a sling, huddled against my mother, and someone needs the opportunity to turn. Or maybe the ear has an uncomfortable squeeze? With the growth of the baby, his needs also change. Is it time to wear a crumb vertically? Read the instructions: are you doing everything right, is the child comfortable? Is the crumb tight enough for you? 3 It is important that the first acquaintance with the sling was successful. If the baby is full, calm, put the baby in a sling and immediately attach it to the chest. A restless baby can be attached to the chest while adjusting the sling. All this will remind the kid of a happy time when he was in the tummy of his mother.
If the child really dislikes the sling, postpone it for a couple of weeks, and then start all over again. Do you need this? If the mother does not think that she needs a sling, she will hardly master it. For example, at home there are many assistants who are engaged in household management, the baby weighs a little and it is easy to carry on hands - what for in such situation to you a sling? But times change, and necessity appears sooner or later. One mother could not master the sling-scarf. Until she was on the street without the keys. She waited 3 hours for her husband to come and open the door, and after that she could not only easily wear her baby, but give very good advice on wearing crumbs in a sling-scarf. Although rare, but there are children who excellently feel in the arms of my mother, but flatly refuse to be in the sling. Such gentle crumbs can be accustomed to slings gradually. And here, too, the main thing is to feel the baby. Or maybe this is the main thing, what does motherhood teach us? First hold the baby tightly on your hands, and on top of the sling. Be like this for a few days. Every day, pulling the sling slightly tighter. After a week, pull one arm out of the sling, and leave the other inside. Gradually, very gently and smoothly, day after day, transfer some of the weight of the baby to the sling. One day you will feel that you can pull out your second hand as well. Hug the baby outside the sling. Gradually weakening the embrace, release one hand, then the second. It can take up to three weeks to get used to it, but it's worth the effort. Kroha is spending a lot of time on his hands, and releasing them is a vital necessity for the mother. So, confidence, sensitivity, smoothness of movements - and all will necessarily turn out!
