I don’t think I could of survived without sling wearing. As I encourage my youngest child to walk more I found myself mourning the loss of our slings. As much as it’s back breaking work as they get bigger nothing quite compares to feeling them lay asleep in it or play with your hair. That simple and beautiful moment they lay their head on you is utter joy and love. Not all children like it but mine couldn’t live without it.
Today I spotted 3 parents not following safe sling guidance and this is no shame to them. There is not enough info out there and you know how I feel about guidance and informed decision making so your baby is safe and so are you!
Make sure if you are sling wearing to follow the TICKS rules for front wearing:
Tight.
In view at all times.
Close enough to kiss.
Keep chin off the chest.
Supported back.
