Babywearing Benefits
Discover the Wonderful Benefits
Snug, Secure & Soothing
Using a baby sling creates a cosy, snug environment for your child. This is important for their development. Research shows that by holding your little one close you are able to quickly learn, and react to their cues, enabling them to feel secure and calm. It has been proven that babies develop best when they feel relaxed and safe during these early months.

Using an ergonomic carrier, such as a baby wrap, ring sling or the baby carrier, aid healthy physical development. Our slings are approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute and they promote healthy hip development in children.

Bonding & Secure Attachment
Our baby slings promote developing secure attachment with your little one. You can learn more about what secure attachments is and why it is so important on our blog. You can also safely breastfeed in all of our slings.
How to Breastfeeding in a Sling
Using a carrier for breastfeeding can help you to support your baby’s weight, while you support their head with one hand and use the other to latch on.
Remember your breastfeeding safety checks: You must always use one hand to support baby’s head. Never use the sling fabric to support your baby’s head; they must be able to latch off and on freely. Constantly monitor your baby when breastfeeding. Ensure baby always has good airflow, their back is supported so they are not slumped, and their chin is not pressed against their chest. Be aware of trip hazards when loosening a woven wrap. When you finish nursing, immediately return your baby to the normal upright carrying position and re-tighten the sling to be hands-free again.
