Mothers around the world have known for centuries that wearing your baby for most of the day has real benefits. Now, North American parents are also experiencing the benefits of using a sling to carry their babies. Whether you have a newborn baby or an active toddler, a sling is the only baby carrier you'll ever need.
Babies and parents alike love using their slings. Here are some of the many reasons why:
A strong bond is formed between the parent and child who spend much time in close contact.
Babies who are carried in slings often are more content and cry less.
Parents are able to stay connected to their baby, while having their hands free to do other activities, such as housework, cooking, gardening, and tending to other children.
Babies have a view of the world, causing them to be more alert and learn about their environment.
A sling supports the baby's back, neck, and head in a way that encourages proper spinal development. Other carriers that have the baby upright with legs hanging down through openings create stress on the base of the baby's spine.
A sling enables hands-free and discreet breastfeeding.
Carrying your child in a sling is a lot more convenient and less burdensome during outings than carrying him in a carseat or pushing a stroller.
A sling folds up neatly to fit in most diaper bags.
African Violet slings can be used to carry every baby, from newborn to 35lb toddler.
