Love a back carrying consultation!

This wee one was so chilled he slept while his mummy and I practised. He woke up just in time to have a go himself :)

I always advise an hour to learn to back carry. This gives us enough time to practise different methods. Don't worry if your baby doesn't snooze all the way through, it also gives us plenty of time to work round any mood!

Ring sling shoulder types....

Ring slings were one of the most popular hires in the library last year. They are quick to use, great from newborn to toddler, and very useful in lots of situations.

If you'd like to try a ring sling you'll have the option of what shoulder to choose. There are 2 main types of shoulder:

Gathered - A gathered shoulder allows the material to spread fully across your shoulder.
Pros - The more you spread the material, the more you distribute the weight evenly.
Cons - This shoulder type caps the shoulder and does slightly restrict arm movement.

Pleated - The material is sewn in pleats so it sits neatly on top of the shoulder. Different companies offer different types of pleated shoulder, some spread wider than others.
Pros - Allows more shoulder movement.
Cons - The weight isn't spread quite as much as a gathered shoulder.

There's no right or wrong when it comes to shoulder type, everyone has their own preference.

Have you tried a ring sling? Are you Team Gathered or Team Pleated? πŸ˜„

Do you ever get a ni**le in your lower back when you use a buckle carrier?

This often happens if your waistband is sitting at an angle. When you pop baby in, their weight will often make the waistband slip down at the front. Ideally you want it to sit at the same level all the way round, parallel to the floor.

Once you've got baby settled in a nice position and you've tightened your sling, double check the height of your waistband. If it's at an angle try correcting it by moving the back down a touch. I often need to loosen it a little, then wiggle it down over my curvier parts ☺, then tighten again if necessary.

It's often not a big adjustment (as you can see in the photo) but it does make a big difference to comfort!

*Remember your waistband should always sit at the height needed to allow your baby's head to fall on the hard part of your chest. This will probably be quite high for a newborn, but it may sit in your hips with an older child.

Safety in slings

Check your baby's face is clearly visible in your sling. Regardless of what you use to carry your baby, whether it's a stretchy wrap or a buckle carrier, always run through these safety checks...

Carry your baby in a high position with their head resting on the hard part of your chest.
Ensure you can see their face and that air can circulate.
If a young baby's head slumps onto their chest it can compromise their airway so always check you can fit two fingers between their chin and chest.

Newborn to Toddler slings

I chatted to three families today (on Zoom) about which sling they'd like to hire.
Parents are often interested in longevity and there are lots of slings available that fit from newborn to toddler, and some even adapt to preschool size.
