Baby sling

Profession: certified linguistic consultant.

Children: I am the mother of baby girl Anyutka, now she is 2 years and 1 month old.

I learned about the slingwhen she was pregnant. I was amazed by the mobile slingomama – how easily she moved around the city, easily placed and removed the child from the sling, and at the same time her daughter was happy to be in the sling.

When my daughter was born, it was very difficult for me, she did not lie in the stroller, did not sleep in the crib without me. After 5-10 minutes, she woke up and cried, but in my arms or next to me she slept calmly and for a long time. I didn’t have any helpers: my husband went to work, and my grandmothers were all working too. I could not have an elementary meal as it should, my husband came for lunch to feed me. I began to study the issues of the child’s sleep, psychological characteristics and his needs. For me at that time it was a discovery that finding a child in the arms of any adult is a natural need for a newborn. The baby needs physical contact with the parent, because the baby reads information from the mother’s body, he gets better thermoregulation, the baby’s heart adjusts to the rhythm of the adult’s heartbeat, digestion improves, and even the baby’s breathing is getting better! From my daughter, I noticed that when I carried her in my arms, she cried less and slept better.

It was hard for me to carry the baby in my arms, my back and arms achedand then my first sling scarf came to the rescue. In it, the child’s weight was evenly distributed, and at the same time my hands remained free! And, of course, I became easier to cope with household chores. I remember my husband’s surprise when I cooked dinner for the first time with a baby in a sling. At the same time, the baby slept sweetly! Then I went to the store for the first time, easily walked where the stroller could not pass.

And the sling helped us out when traveling! We traveled to Gorny Altai, Egypt, Thailand, and everywhere we felt like mobile travelers. I liked the positive effects of baby sling so much for mom and baby, I studied at the Russian sling counseling school and the German baby sling school Die Trageschule Dresden. Now I am a certified sling consultant, and I am always happy to help mothers in mastering a sling or an ergonomic bag!

Profession: I work in the field of public relations, and now a PR specialist on maternity leave.

Children: my son’s name is Dmitry and he is already 6 months old.

I started studying the slings during pregnancy.when a sling consultant came to the courses on preparation for childbirth. With carrying the “kangaroo” I got acquainted with the birth of my nephews and remained dissatisfied with this acquaintance. And then a sling appeared in my life.

At first, like any girl, I was attracted by beautiful fabrics and interesting designs. The second important factor was back support: after a spinal injury, this became especially important for me. And thirdly, I like the very idea of ​​my baby’s closeness! I can feel his breath, mood and any desires.

The first sling I boughtwhen my son was one month old. It was a sling scarf. The grandmothers were very afraid of this device and in every possible way discouraged me from using it, but it was convenient for my son and me! He instantly fell asleep in the reel and felt great! Then a ring sling and a may sling appeared in our life. Each of them is suitable for different situations. So, for example, the may-sling has become a real salvation for us when traveling: the health trail in Belokurikha, the lift in Manzherok or a walk along the Turquoise Katun would be impossible without it! And at home, when my son is not in the mood, thanks to the sling, we can do the cleaning together or cook dinner together. Therefore, I absolutely cannot imagine my life without slings, because my baby is always with me “at the distance of a kiss”!

Profession: an employee of the recovery train at the Barnaul station.

Children: two daughters – Anyuta (5 years old), Darina (1 year 4 months).

I discovered a sling for myself only with my second daughter, which I am very sorry about, since the first baby was also very “tame”. With Darina, we first got a ring sling, then we moved to an ergonomic backpack. The daughter does not sit in the stroller at all, but in her backpack next to her mother she walks with pleasure, sleeps and even eats.

And the sling gave me the opportunity to dance together with daughters. Regular dances or a gym are not available to me, there is no one to leave my daughter with, but we both like Slingotants. The sling also helped us on our travels. This summer we visited Yarovoye and Gorny Altai. My hands were free, my back and shoulders were evenly loaded, and my daughter felt comfortable and studied the world, breathed the mountain air and admired the beauty of nature with the whole family. Sling is our friend and irreplaceable assistant.

Profession: creative mom on maternity leave.

Children: elder Vadim (3 years 11 months, was also a swallower), younger Anna (1 year 4 months).

A long time ago – I was still a college student – a new, young mother came to our group. We became friends and often walked with her and the baby in the evenings. She wore it in a “kangaroo”, I helped her. It seemed like a cool thing, and nothing that your back hurts in 15 minutes, everything is easier than just carrying a baby in your arms!

Years have passed, and now I myself am waiting for my son. Of course, I thought that I definitely needed a kangaroo. I started looking on the Internet where to buy it … And I accidentally stumbled upon an article on comparing kangaroos and slings. All the pros and cons were described there. Everything! Resolved – only sling! And, of course, the simplest one – with rings (naive me). So I bought the first sling.

A son was born … Time passed, and the sling with rings lay under a layer of dust, well, I could not cope with it! We walked in a wheelchair. More precisely, with a stroller – a son in his arms, a stroller nearby, he did not like her, shouted wildly. And so, when our baby was a little over three months old, we got to a master class on sling. And – lo and behold – we chose a scarf for ourselves. Now the carriage was gathering dust.

A little later, I became the owner of my very first and most beloved scarf. When we learned that soon we will have a second baby, I did not even think about the “vehicle”! But Anyuta, to my surprise, loved to ride in a stroller, however, only up to a month or two. By the winter I decided on a slingokurt. This is the thing! I was very sorry that with the first child I considered it a useless waste of money.

Now with Nyuta we are “running” in a backpack on the street, when necessary, at home we “wander” to sleep. For me, a sling is, first of all, an assistant – to me and my back.

Profession: organize free drawing for kids and other family activities.

Children: Sophia, 1 year old.

Without a sling, I can no longer imagine my life on maternity leave, he is my faithful assistant in everything. I learned about this amazing invention of mankind from slingoms who came to me to draw with their children, my daughter at that time was 3 months old. Since Sonya is always with me, even at all events, the prospect of freeing my hands made me very happy. In addition, a sling and an ergonomic backpack are the prevention of hip dysplasia, which was an important point for me.

Since that time, ergo has been saving me every day, I calmly go to the store (not worrying about where to leave the stroller), every weekend I spend drawing – Sonya sits quietly in a backpack and does not bother anyone, most often she sleeps at all.

But most of all I appreciated the sling on the trip to the seaSonya calmly endured a long flight, excursions, and even a wedding! In addition, slingomas often organize various meetings, photo sessions, and excursions. So life on maternity leave does not limit you in any way, and the possibilities become even greater!

Profession: an architect-designer by education, a mother of two daughters, a sling consultant.

Children: daughter Yana, 4,5 years old, and daughter Polina, 1 year old.

I got acquainted with slingwhen my oldest daughter was 4 months old. But I wore it mainly in an ergonomic backpack. It was an unreal feeling of freedom and closeness with the baby! I got so into the taste that I delved into the basics of babywearing and began to consult in this area myself.

When we were waiting for the second baby, I already knew for sure that it would be a “baby sling”! And with the advent of my daughter, I learned all the subtleties of various windings, different types of slings. We walked with pleasure under a slingokurt, all together, which is especially important for a mother of two children, because you can fully be next to each of the children at the same time.

I’m a fan of babywearing, but not a fanatic – I am absolutely fine with wheelchairs. There are just situations (and in my opinion, not rare) when a sling really makes life easier! This also applies to household affairs.

I love the feeling of closeness with my baby, which gives babywearing. I am sure that this is also very important for a child – to know that mom is always there, to feel her love and care. I would really like as many mothers as possible to master the sling, not being afraid to “teach to the hands” of the baby, but trusting intuition, “nourish” him with his warmth and thus give that very basic trust in this big and unfamiliar world, in which the little the little man will feel protected.

Profession: government civil servant.

Children: wonderful boy Misha, he is 10 months old.

We have been using a sling scarf since about three months, my first windings were a “cradle”. Sling is a good friend of mine. When Mikha was only three months old, he slept only in his arms during the day, and did not let me go when he was awake. And in the sling he slept well, I could drink tea, watch a movie and even iron the linen. Later we mastered the winding “cross over the pocket”, thanks to which (well, and a slingokurtka) we began to go out on business, so as not to drag a huge stroller. It was happiness for me after several months of sitting within four walls …

Summer we rested in the village, and the sling was gathering dust in the closet, but with the onset of autumn, we are again inseparable from him. And again he is my lifesaver, because even a banal purchase of food with a ten-kilogram fidgety worm in his hands is a feat of Hercules, and with a sling it is a pleasant walk to the store. And also a mom with a baby in a sling is beautiful and unusual, and more than once I noticed on myself the interested glances of passers-by and their smiles.

Profession: sling consultant and sling manufacturer.

Children: I have three of them. The elders are “not sling”, Vera and Yakov. The third, Daniel, in a sling from birth and up to three years old.

Why did I choose a sling? Because it’s mega-convenient. Firstly, I always had two hands free, I carried bags, led the older children – I ran with them to the music room and on business and did not think where the child would be at that time and with whom. He was with me, and even ate at any moment. It was easy, I didn’t feel the weight of the child at all, and I also lost weight.

And also a sling – it was unusual, I was the only one in our small town and was always in the spotlight.

Profession: environmental engineer in road design.

Children: daughter Varvara, 11 months old. In a sling since 2 months.

We have already changed several types of sling in accordance with the age and age characteristics of the child.

Sling keeps me active, do household chores, dance, move freely around the city and beyond, without parting with the child. And the child allows him to develop, walk and even sleep always next to his mother. In general, we are mobile and at the same time inseparable from the child. We are always at the distance of a kiss!

Profession: I work as an accountant in a large advertising agency.

Children: son Ilya, 1 year 2 months.

We use an ergonomic backpack. We got acquainted with this wonderful invention when Ilya was 5 months old. At first, they used it at home – this greatly facilitates the performance of homework and there is no need to worry about how the son is there, what he does, and you will not leave the baby unattended.

When we got used to the backpack, he began to accompany us on trips to the shops, a zoo, for public events – where it is not always convenient to use a stroller, or you need a free trunk. On long walks, if the child wants to sleep, he will be very comfortable in the arms of his mother.

Carrying a grown-up child in the ergo is much more convenient and comfortable, the load on the spine is evenly distributed. You also need to monitor your health. A healthy mother is a happy baby! And besides, attending sleep meetings that take place in our city, we made many new acquaintances.

Profession: service engineer 1C, I help people with 1C programs, I teach, I look for mistakes.

Children: Eva, 3 months old.

During pregnancy, there was no thought that I would use a sling, a good expensive stroller was bought. But there was an emergency caesarean, and it was forbidden to lift more weight of the child. My husband is at work from morning to evening, and we are at home. For a long time I could not stand it, I am an active, athletic person, and the heat is on the street, at home it was very hard with the baby.

When we were two weeks old, I wrote to a sling consultant, she helped to choose a baby sling (baby sling varied, as it turned out – not so simple). Since then, our active life began, we began to walk, go shopping, in a cafe! Another plus was that the baby began to have colic, and in a sling she warmed herself on my tummy and slept soundly.

At a month and a half we went to the forest to pick mushrooms, and at two months to Gorny Altai. The stroller is gathering dust, but now I have several sling and each “carries” in its own way. The most important thing is that thanks to the sling, my child is close and calm. The myth that babies can’t get away with it is just a myth. We sleep well in the crib, swing in the sun lounger, lie on the couch while mom does household chores. And of course, a big plus is mobility.

Profession: today she is a mother of two wonderful children, part-time a bank employee on maternity leave.

Children: my swinger is my daughter Alexandria, 1 year 3 months.

For us, a sling is our best friendwho helps me to share my warmth with my daughter, to be in constant tactile dialogue with her, to give each other joy, being always in each other’s arms, at a distance of a kiss …

Comfortable, fashionable, stylish …

Not a day will pass without a sling

Only with him, spreading your wings,

Let’s take a flight

And in the forest and fishing,

To the theater and to the museum …

Girls – “lighters”

In the circle of your friends.

We have been friends with the sling for a long time

Whichever side you look at –

This pregnancy is outside

Even more beautiful than inside!
