What’s the advantage of a baby pouch sling? How does it compare to a ring sling carrier or a Moby Wrap? When a woman is pregnant and expecting a child any day, the analysis of which baby sling to buy is not generally on the top of the list of priorities. Many ladies receive their first sling as a present during a baby shower. Sometimes they are a surprise gift and don’t fit. I believe that the best baby sling is one that fits, and is planned in advance by reading the baby sling reviews on the web.
Baby wearing is an ancient method of carrying your child. It dates back over 3000 years. African baby sling patterns are still in use today as seen in the wrap sling and reversible pouch sling. The dual ring sling system is more modern.
Today the baby sling reviewed by most mothers are all online. The fabrics are varied from organic and hand woven to retro, designer and stretchy fleece cotton. Make sure the seams are durable, that the sling is machine washable and for heaven’s sake make sure you measure the mother for the sling.
Some people wanted padding, others want lightly padded while some don’t want any bulk or extra padding sewn in at all. Some baby carriers are mass produced in Asia, while others are high quality and hand made locally. There are plenty of how-to sling videos on youtube showing the hip carry, kangaroo, and various back and cradle positions.
Make sure you study and review the major brands like Maya and Moby, Peanut shell and Pupsik, Cheeky Baby and Blue Celery and some of the smaller sling manufacturers. In the internet age we live in the customer has a voice, so listen closely to what people who have already bought a baby sling say about that particular model and brand.
