Yes! Both the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder and the New Native Baby Carrier are endorsed by chiropractors and numerous other health professionals. The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder evenly distributes the baby's weight across your shoulder, back, chest and hip. The New Native Baby Carrier provides broad weight distribution from your shoulder to your hips and aligns your baby's center of gravity as close to your body as possible.
Yes! In all of our baby slings, infants may be carried horizontally on an incline with legs flexed. An optional Support Pillow provides additional support for infants in the
New Native Baby Carrier.
All of our baby slings support baby's head, follow the natural contour of the spine and keep baby's legs together, most like your own arms. Unlike front- and back-pack style carriers, these infant slings do not prematurely place baby's spine in a weight-bearing position. After nine months in the womb, it is natural and comfortable for baby to be curled up and swaddled in a sling.
Around 2-5 months, baby may want to sit upright in the baby sling to see the
world. Again, all of our baby slings support baby's healthy, natural development
by allowing baby to sit either cross-legged or with legs naturally flexed to
dissipate body weight through legs and hips.
Because they feel contact pressure, motion, warmth, and sounds all from the
security of their baby sling, babies worn in a sling are less likely to cry and
fuss, and are less clingy as children. They are calmer, more socially
responsive, confident, and self-reliant.
Yes! All of our baby slings are made from certified organically-grown cotton, rather than conventional cotton or synthetics that may be harsh on baby's sensitive skin and may trigger allergic reactions.
The
New Native Baby Carrier has a curved design that keeps the sides of the
sling up on either side of your baby, even when you bend over. It has no
rings, clips, or buckles that can slip, loosen, or open unexpectedly.
The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder has a deep pouch and a patented three-ring
design that prevents the tail of the baby sling from slipping through the top two
rings if worn incorrectly. The rings are tested over several thousand
pounds, and are not affected by the temperature of washing or machine
drying. The weight of the baby causes them to tighten much the way a seat
belt tightens.
As you become accustomed to wearing your baby you instinctively have a feel
for how secure it is and carry your baby all day in a carefree manner.
Can I breastfeed while wearing my baby?
Yes! Baby can nurse easily in any of our baby slings, while your hands remain free! The ample fabric of the
New Native Baby Carrier makes it easy to nurse discreetly in public. With the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder, most moms find it easiest to nurse with their baby's head at the breast opposite the rings. To nurse on the other side, you may move the baby sling to the opposite shoulder, or just turn baby around inside the baby sling.
A baby sling provides a comfortable and portable place for breastfeeding, so you never have to worry about finding a place to sit.
Can I machine wash my baby sling?
Yes! For all of our baby slings, we recommend machine washing in cold water, on the gentle cycle. For best results, please air dry your baby sling.
