Security

Read the safety card that comes with your purchase carefully! It is very important to pay attention and take care of your baby when using a sling.

Keep an eye on this:

1. The child should be close enough to kiss the head (this may differ depending on the wearer's body, but the point is to be able to keep track of the airway)

2. Baby's airway is clear, check that you can place your finger between the baby's chin and chest. If the child's neck is too far back or pressed hard against the chest, it can restrict his airway

3. The fabric fits tightly on your and the child's back

4. Using a ring wrap, make sure the rings are in a corsage position

5. The child sits in an "M" position for best ergonomic carrying (this may also differ for smaller children as it may be more "J" like)

6. Check the baby often, especially those 4 months and younger

7. If you breastfeed in the sling, make sure to adjust the baby to a sitting position afterwards

8. Dress yourself and baby according to the weather, this differs depending on the season, but a good rule of thumb is one layer less than you would wear on a baby in a pram to avoid overheating.

Think about the activities you do while carrying your child! Children may be able to reach various objects while being carried, be careful. Pay attention to your ring shawl tail and the tails of your long shawl as they can get caught or create a fall hazard.

Be careful and take responsibility when carrying children.
