![]() ![]() The instructions here come straight from Babywearing International. When you properly sling, your hands are free to take care of other mom duties but most importantly, baby feels safe and secure because he can see, hear, smell, feel and even taste you. Ring slinging can be for everyone, it just takes a little bit of knowledge and a lot of practice. Perhaps you’ve tried several carriers and none seemed to be a good fit? Maybe you’ve actually tried a wrap or sling but felt like baby was going to fall out? You’re just downright intimidated by them? Yea, me too, until I buckled down and learned the art of ring-slinging. I started to believe babywearing wasn’t meant for everybody including, sadly, us.Īt least, that’s what it felt like and I suspect that’s how you may feel too. ![]() ![]() We were both uncomfortable and hot and I got tired of it after a few minutes, like actually worn out. Not to disparage these brands - it was definitely an “It’s me, not you” situation - but neither I nor my baby were having it. They were all seemingly excellent carriers but I just couldn’t get the hang of them and Jolie didn’t even seem to like being in them. So, I registered for several carriers such as the Ergo, the Moby Wrap and the Tula Free To Grow. I loved the idea of holding her close to me and sorely wanted to experience all the benefits babywearing had to offer like steady milk production, decreased risk of postpartum depression, reinforcing a strong maternal bond and enjoying all the oxytocin. Before I had my first baby, I intended to wear her every day. ![]()
