Ring Slings

Oscha Ring Slings are crafted from our specially woven sling fabric and feature unique hand drawn designs. The sling is secured on the shoulder through a set of safety tested rings. Comfortable, and quick to use, they have a low learning curve and are ideal for children who like to be up and down often.

Which shoulder style should I choose?

Our ring slings come in two shoulder styles: Highland Pleated and Gathered. Click on the button below to find out more about both shoulder styles and learn all about ring slings.

Baby Carriers

Baby carriers refer to more structured baby slings, often with buckles or tie straps. At Oscha we offer a few, unique options for you to choose between.

Our customer favourite - the Cairis has tie straps and a buckle waist, or choose the simple full buckle, Bairn Carrier. You can also find the Onbuhimo, which is an option for back carrying older babies.

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.

Discover the Wonderful Benefits

Supporting Development

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.
