When it comes to baby shower gifts, baby slings are the perfect gift for both the expecting mother AND father.
Baby slings are great for keeping your baby close while leaving your hands free for other tasks, such as house work, computer work, shopping, tending to other children, and are perfect for holding baby close to mother while breast feeding.
Baby slings (aka: baby carriers or baby ring slings) have been used for centuries and helps to calm and soothe a baby. They will afford your baby with the remarkable opportunity to feel and hear your familiar and comforting heartbeat just as he/she had for the nine months in your cozy womb.
There are many other reasons why the use of baby slings is beneficial:
- It is truly a hands-free way to carry baby. You can carry baby securely against you while doing the laundry, typing on your computer, or simply just walking.
- Promotes a healthy bond between you and baby.
- Promotes breastfeeding. You can very easily nurse baby discreetly while baby is in the sling.
- It is very easy to use. Just slip the sling over your head and rest on your shoulder. Put baby in between you and the sling, then just pull the fabric through the buckles to tighten and you're done
- Great for dads, grandparents, and all other caretakers of baby
- Baby will feel very secure and safe next to you, hearing your comforting heartbeat, just as baby did for the months she/he was inside of you.
- Great for colicky/fussy baby's. This sling promotes sleep. Most babies fall asleep within ten minutes in the sling.
- You can take a sleeping baby out of the sling without waking him/her.
- Some front-style commercial carriers sold in stores can be stressful to a newborn's spine. Slings have been tried and tested in most other countries for centuries; they cradles the baby's back and spine in the correct position.
