Is It Safe To Use A Baby Sling?
According to the Lullaby Trust Slings and baby-carriers are useful for holding a baby hands-free, however they are not always used safely.
When wearing a sling or baby carrier, keep in mind the TICKS guidelines:
- Tight
- In view at all times (Baby’s face)
- Close enough to kiss
- Keep chin off the chest
- Supported back
AVOID bag-style slings for safety reasons.
