Please visit my About Me Page! Experts agree that the best way to carry and bond with your baby is with a baby sling. Why? The baby is in a position that similates the womb, and is close to your heart. Here's what pediatrics and experts are saying, "A random controlled test show that carrying babies in the manner we promote reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night. Studies have also shown that the continuous contact of using a sling is even more beneficial to the bonding process than breastfeeding itself." What makes our Over the Shoulder Baby Holder better than other baby slings? We've been making quality baby slings for many, many years. We are the oldest baby sling manufacturer. Our sling is the first baby sling to receive a seal of approval from the National Parenting Center for its quality and superior design. Our patented 3rd ring keeps the sling from slipping even if set up incorrectly. Our baby slings have two times the amount of padding on the parent’s shoulder and around the baby’s head and legs than other slings. It’s more expensive to manufacture, but the quality shows. A cord holds the side rails together over the shoulder pillow. This doubles our already plush padding and prevents the sides from falling down toward mom’s elbows or pressing into her neck. This keeps the whole sling in better proportion for the wearer. Our batting is flame-retardant. Other slings have a resin added that makes it easier to cut and sew, but it’s highly flammable and allergenic. We do not: our batting is completely flame-retardant and non-allergenic. Also, not having our batting treated with this resin makes our baby slings much softer to the touch and they do not mat down. Our batting is paneled and sewn down; it cannot slip inside the seam. This prevents the batting from bunching up and twisting around while wearing or during washing. Our baby slings are made of 100% cotton, a breathable fabric, keeping your baby comfortable all year round. Every order comes with a free 20-minute instructional DVD, which shows you a variety of ways to wear your sling. This allows the way you wear the sling to change as your child grows. Your baby sling can be used for newborn through age 3. Your baby can lay down in the sling, go tummy-to-tummy with mom or dad, or hip-straddle. Our baby slings allow for discreet nursing. Just pull up the sides of the sling to cover mommy and baby. You can also use the tail for extra privacy. The sling can easily be taken off without waking the baby and laid down in the crib. We have a network of natural childbirth educators and lactation consultants who continually supply feedback and we respond, making changes immediately. We're made in the U.S.A. Our slings are professionally sewn on industrial sewing machines by professional seamstresses so each and every one comes out perfectly even, consistent, and high-quality. They are not sewn in Asia or unsupervised on a "hobby machine." Perhaps the best selling point of all for our Over the Shoulder Baby Holder doesn't come from us at all! Listen to what others are saying: I have used many different kinds, and by far I have liked the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder the best. —Adrienne W., Zanesville, OH I recommend baby-wearing with a sling to all new moms. I recommend the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder as the sling to get. —Kathleen Huggins, author of The Nursing Mothers' Companion The main reason I continue to carry the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder at our lactation center is that I loved mine and used it for three years!! The slings that are sold in stores are: a cheap imitation, are hard to find, and the mother cannot figure out how to use them. —P. Carroll, RN, IBCLC After discovering the multiple uses and benefit of the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder, it has become the only infant carrier that our store sells. The holder is easy to use and puts the baby in a natural nursing position. —Deborah M., Childbirth Educator, Family Resource Center The sling is just awesome. It's like someone gave me my hands back. I go everywhere and can do everything with my baby, happy and cared for all the while. —Debbie S., Director of Development Healthy Mothers/Health We recommend only this sling to our clients for the following reasons: We have tried several other companies baby slings and have chosen the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder because of the consistent superior workmanship and the three different sizes. About 25% of our sling sales come from customers who have a different brand sling which does not fit. —Deborah E., BA, IBCLC I bought a ______ brand sling 3 years ago—Ugh! I thought these women who were saying how wonderful slings are were nuts. Then I ran across the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder a La Leache League meeting. I tried it; Ah! Sigh! I have hardly stopped wearing my 7 month old since. —Venita G., Discretions, Montgomery, AL The fabric choices below are for size medium sling, which accounts for 80% of the slings we sell. The medium fits parents from 110 to 190 pounds with an average build. So for example, a parent with a tall and very slim torso weighing 210 can wear the medium sling, but a parent with a short and stout or busty torso weighing 160 may need a large. Choose from our best-selling fabrics (please specify a first choice and a backup choice fabric selection in an email). Tip: Don't make your fabric selection based on the gender of the baby. Instead think about colors to go with clothing and styles. A Daddy may feel more comfortable wearing a solid/conservative color or plainer pattern.
