This Award Winning sling is ideal for newborn babies. It has been designed to encourage parents to carry their babies in the optimal position. The fabric cocoons the new baby in a foetal position, which supports the neck well - essential for a newborn.
Curled up snugly and close to the parent, the baby is calmed in a familiar womb-like environment, whilst the parent has free hands.
This sling is WINNER of the coveted SILVER Practical Parenting Award 2009 - in Sling/Carrier Category. BRONZE from Practical Pre-School Awards 2009

The benefits to carrying your baby in this manner:
- SLEEP: The combination of movement stimulation and the snug hold of the sling promotes sleep. Evidence shows that babies carried during the day sleep better at night. When the newborn falls asleep in the sling, you can easily put him down still asleep in his cot. As the bay gets older you can use the sling for outings etc.
- CALM: Overwhelming evidence suggests that babies who are carried on their mothers, are significantly calmer than babies who are not. This sling mimics the calming sound of the womb - feeling of being rocked, the soft, snug feel of the sling and the sounds of the mother's body (heartbeat/ voice) help to calm the baby.
- CONVENIENCE: The sling enables you to carry your baby and still get on and do essential chores, or simply to go for a walk. Keeps both baby and mother contented! It also enables a mother to feed discreetly whilst carrying the baby
Suitable for up to 9kg
