BABYWEARING IS FOR EVERY PARENT. It is an old concept, practised in many cultures throughout history to keep baby safe, secure and provide comfort, ease of movement and hands-free for the carer. With the  Sling, babywearing is given a new twist with its stylish design, versatile carry positions and ease-of-use. It helps you wear your baby close to your bosom in seconds and develops a special bonding between you and baby that no other high-tech equipment can provide.
Benefits of Babywearing with a Sling
- Sling encourages bonding with your baby.
- Sling babies cry less - they are worn close to the mother or caregiver most of the time, they feel secure.
- Sling babies learn more - as they spend less time crying, they are in a state of quiet alertness which is the optimal state for learning. The baby is also intimately involved in the caregiver’s world as they are physically lifted up to the level of the adult world.
- Sling helps newborns adjust to their new environment more smoothly and less traumatic.
- Sling helps slow-weight-gain babies thrive as the close proximity of mother to baby encourages her to read and respond to baby’s cues more promptly and thus the baby feeds more frequently.
- Sling also helps premature babies, especially one with medical problems needing weeks or months of intensive care, thrive. Wearing these babies provide them the "womb" which they are deprived of those final weeks or months and they gain weight and thrive faster.
- Sling makes breastfeeding easy, convenient and discreet in public.
- Sling can be used by fathers to bond with babies.
- Sling allows you to be hands-free and makes being on-the-go so much easier.
- Sling babies are worn close to you, so easy to manoveur in crowds or steps and no fears of pram rolling down slopes.
- Sling is versatile for newborns to toddlers, in various positions.
- Sling helps to distribute the weight of the baby across shoulders and back, thus reduces lower back strains.
- Sling is easy to wear and carry around, no buckles and bulks.
The sling is versatile and can be used from reclining position to upright position, so a newborn baby or a toddler can still be carried in the sling. Babies are also carried in a natural position according to their physical development.
