Why Should You Choose A Baby Wrap Sling?

Wrap slings are a must-have for new parents. They offer benefits like protection from back strain, the ability to wear your child on your front and back, the ability to breastfeed without worrying about a blanket falling, and more. Wrapping with a wrap sling is not easy, but plenty of online resources will help you learn how to do it properly.

If you’re considering trying out a sling with your baby boy or girl, then give the following tips one last look before buying one:

-Choose an appropriate size for your child based on height and weight. It’s better to be able to use it than have it too small or too big.

-Consider the material. Hand-woven cotton, bamboo, and hemp are great choices if you’re worried about allergies. You can also choose linen and other natural fabrics if you like the look. Synthetic fabric is fine for baby wraps but avoids vinyl and foam slings for a newborn.

-Get adjustable straps so that your sling will fit you as your body changes throughout pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum. If you have a friend who can sew, consider having her sew an adjustable sling strap cover out of fleece or jersey knit fabric. It’s handy to have an extra set of handles to use when you need them.

-Wear a safe ring sling during pregnancy. It will help you get your pregnant body back, and it can also be used for postpartum.

-When you’re not wearing your baby, use the wrap sling as a blanket or nursing cover.

-Don’t forget to check out the companion book Wraps & Sling Rings by Debbie Bissonnette, published by Healing Arts Press – the first book to bring together information on using two types of sling rings: wrap rings and ring slings.

In conclusion, know that the wrap sling will help you transition from baby to mom and back again.
