Seven Considerations for BabyWearing

1. It’s better to purchase a soft fabric, that is also somewhat stretchy. Carriers that offer bulky padding often create discomfort after 30 minutes of use. It’s counterintuitive, but many people make the same observation. Additionally, slings that utilize soft, stretchy fabric are better suited for handling your child as she grows.
2. Be sure that the carrier supports your physical needs as well. For example, if you suffer from back pain, it’s better to select a carrier that comes over both shoulders as opposed to just one.
3. For newborns or preemies, try supporting their heads with a small receiving blanket. You should also attempt to support their torsos as well with the blanket. You’ll only need it for a couple of weeks, and your child will be able to better support themselves in the sling.
4. While nursing your child, try to position them in the cradle position. This will allow for better discretion during feedings. For additional privacy, I suggest that you also purchase a nursing cover with your sling.
5. As your child grows, you can also use the tummy to tummy position or heart to heart position. This position adds for additional closeness for you and your baby. It also gives your child a better look of your facial expressions. This is a great way to teach your baby facial expressions and how to read body languages.
6. You can also try the “kangaroo position” with your child. This gives your child a great view of the world around them., It’s another great feature of baby wearing that aids in the emotional and cognitive development of your child.
7. For babies 7 months and older, you can also try the hip position. This position allows for easier carrying as your child grows and becomes heavier. It also allows the child to be slightly more active while in the sling.

7 Surprising Benefits of Using a Baby Sling
There are many practical reasons why parents are switching to baby carries, slings, wraps, and pouches. Among them, parents enjoy the hands-free benefits, the freedom from back and shoulder pain, and the additional comfort that it brings to their children. In addition to these "obvious" benefits, there are other additional benefits that researchers are currently working to confirm. Here are 7 widely held beliefs concerning the benefits of baby slings.1. It reduces postpartum depression among mothers. For anyone that has ever used one of these carriers, there is an unexpected joy shared between both parent and child that often overcome the unexplainable helplessness that new parents often feel. Additional, the hands-free benefit of the carrier prevents new parents from feeling overwhelmed.
2. Improves infant growth and development through vestibular stimulation, increased parent interaction, and decreased time spent crying.
3. Increases the likelihood, frequency, and comfort of breastfeeding. Through the use of baby slings, many mothers are able to nurse their children hands-free (this takes lots of practice for both mommy and baby).
4. Increases the parents' feelings of competence and satisfaction. The constant closeness with their children allows for the parent to be more accessible to their child's needs. Additionally, the closeness soothes the child, which means less crying, and less crying positively impacts the parents' perception of their own parenting skills.
5. Improves the parents' physical disposition. Less arm pain from carrying their children.
6. Improves the breathing (oxygenation) of newborns when they are positioned correctly in the sling or wrap.
7. In at risk populations, it reduces the chances of abuse. In other words, parents are able to keep better track of their children when in public places.

8 Benefits of Using a Baby Sling or Baby Carrier
2. Eases back and shoulder pain. Of course, this assumes that you wear the sling properly. But using a baby carrier is better for your back and shoulders.
3. Allows view for child. Children love being able to look around. For my son, he seems to be especially interested when we are in crowded areas. Baby slings offer a low-stress, comfortable way for your child to be able to view the world.
4. Allows for hands-free breastfeeding. This may take some practice for both Mom and baby. But there are many that have mastered this. In addition to purchasing a baby sling, many mothers also choose to purchase a nursing cover to go with their slings.
5. Allows for dealing with multiple children simultaneously. How many times have a seen a parent trying to hold their newborn while dealing with an excited toddler? I’ve seen it numerous times. Parents of multiple children gravitate towards the use of slings and carriers for this very reason.
6. Reduces “fussiness” from lack of arm time. Children love to be carried, and they love being near their parents. The practice of using a baby slings makes this very easy and convenient. Parents love using slings in order to soothe their young children.
7. Reduces arm pain. From personal experience, I know the pain and fatigue that comes with carrying a child. Baby slings are the perfect solution for this.
8. Less awkward transportation. Sometimes, I hate using a baby stroller. But I use it in order to avoid the arm and back pain that may come from carrying my child. A baby carrier is the perfect balance between ease of use and comfort.
Seven Things to Check for when using Baby Slings
2. Danger of bumping into objects with the infant. This concern is actually present when carrying your child in your arms. So, you should always be care. If you’re using a carrier, both of your hands are free, so you’re in a better position to protect your child in case of an accident.
3. Risk of burning the baby while drinking hot beverages. This same danger exists when arm carrying the child as well. Using a baby sling is not a license to be less cautious with your child.
4. Danger of injuring the child’s spine or hips. Proper wear of a baby sling does not create the opportunity for these types of injuries. If a parent has concerns about using the sling properly, there are many instructional videos on how to use and there are also many carriers that are more intuitive than the traditional wraps.
5. Back pain and fatigue. Actually, baby slings are often more comfortable than arm-carrying. This is one of the many benefits of using a baby sling or carrier.
6. Risk of suffocation. While front-carrying or hip-carrying, the child is very visible, and the sling will provide a cradle that is similar to your arms. The sling has to be abused in order to create this type of situation.
7. Wear and tear. As with anything that you use, you should regularly inspect your carrier for tears and rips.

Style Trend: Amethyst
Amethyst is my all-time favorite color. Actually anything in the purple family is just fine and I am so glad that it is fall fashion trend. Fashion has allowed it to stick around for at least two seasons now, but I've always wanted to wear this color from head to toe. But I think this idea would have me looking like a succulent grape. So, I guess the best rule of thumb for anything purple is wear at least one bold piece that stands out. So as a new mom, why not inject this trend into your baby carrier?We've found the perfect baby sling that keeps up with this trend. Wings of a Butterfly by Rockin' Baby Sling is great burst of purple for your wardrobe. It has a bold purple print that reverses to a purple. And for your earthy types, it is 100% organic cotton. This sling is guaranteed to turn heads.

People have been speculating that Penelope Cruz is with child already, but she has already denied that she is pregnant. At the Toronto International Film Festival, Cruz admitted that she is tired of the question about what is in her belly. And when asked about her status by USA Today she said, "I start getting some presents from friends saying, 'Congratulations, you're pregnant.' And I say, 'No, I'm not, so return the presents,'" she told the newspaper. "It's amazing."
I would love for someone to ask me this question (BTW, I am not). I just need an excuse to go off on someone. I know there are times, I look at ice cream and I get a pooch.

Are You Surprised?
Tom Brady just confirmed his wife Giselle Bundchen is pregnant with their first child together. No real surprise for the many who have been tracking her pregnancy. The real surprise would be if their child was born already a supermodel athlete that's 5'5" at birth. Do you think they should have confirmed the pregnancy earlier or that is their private moment to have kept to themselves? Congrats to both and here is the ESPN video that confirmed the news.Thursday, September 10, 2009
Baby Slings and Provided Security

Like most people out there, seeing the raw emotions that have stemmed from the healthcare debate caught me off guard. It has been an event that has caused me to pause and to really learn how to hear people, their fears, their hopes, and their values. Strangely enough, your hear parents share a similar mix of feelings and emotions when it comes to the aids they use concerning their newborn children. Doubt me? Let me explain.
1. Security and Freedom. Children love the security that comes along with being close to their parents. The sound of their heartbeat, the warmth of being close, and the proximity of their parents’ voice has a calming affect on newborns. But how can a parent provide this comfort and still take care of daily activities? A baby sling provides a solution that allows a parent to provide their child non-stop comfort, while the parent to move with their hands-free.
2. Choices. We all want to have a wide-range of choices to select from. No one should feel boxed-in or trapped when it comes to selection.

Purebabyslings.com is your one-stop shopping experience for any new mother.

Medical News Today Cures for Colic
1.Swaddling a baby during a crying episode may help (wrapping him/her up firmly in a blanket).
2. Sit the baby upright when feeding; this makes it less likely that air is swallowed.
3. Sometimes more frequent - but smaller - feedings may help.
4. Breastfeeding mothers may find that if they avoid tea, coffee, spicy foods and alcohol the baby's colic symptoms become less severe.
5. A pacifier (dummy) - some parents have found that offering the baby a pacifier helps.
6. Make sure the holes in the bottle teats are the right size. If they are too small the baby is likely to swallow more air during each feed.
7. Make sure you have burped your baby after a feed. Sit the baby upright or hold him/her against your shoulder with the neck and head supported. Rub their back and tummy until you air comes out. Sometimes the baby may bring up a bit of milk; this is normal.
8. Sometimes picking the baby up and putting him/her down frequently may make the crying worse. Comforting the baby in a quiet place with dimmed lighting often works better. When you are sure the baby is OK - fed, clean, not too hot or cold, leave him/her in the cot for a while.
9. Some people find that going for a walk with the stroller helps settle the baby down, as might a drive in the car. Or anything that keeps the baby in motion - perhaps a baby sling will make it less tiring on the arms.
10. Sometimes a background noise, such as that made by a washing machine, or vacuum cleaner helps settle babies down.
11. A warm bath, or gentle massage may also help.
12. Get someone to help - having someone else help out gives you some private time. This may help calm you and your anxieties, which may result in more peace all round.

Celebrity Sling ID: Marley Shelton
Actress Marley Shelton welcomed a baby girl yesterday and she came in at a whopping 9 lbs and 21 inches. Quite a big girl! According to People, her rep said,"She's an absolutely miraculous, gorgeous bundle of pure love," Flynn said in a statement. Mother, father and baby are "doing great."
Some mommas may be concerned that the baby slings that we offer do not grow with their children. Well we are here to tell you that many of the slings we carry are able to carry up to 35 lbs. That is a large toddler! A toddler that is able to chew steak, no less!
So what is my Celebrity Sling ID for Marley Shelton? We think she would look great with the Lighly Padded Periwinkle Sling by Maya Wrap, $65.95. This is a great ring sling that adjusts with your baby's growth. It also includes a pocket that will be handy for keys, pacifiers, toys, or even lipstick (if you choose). The cool thing about this wrap, it also includes an instructional DVD.

You can find this wrap and other brands at PureBabySlings.com.

I think it is so cool that Lisa Loeb is pregnant.
