The most charming slingomas of Omsk

About myself. My name is Irina, in the recent past, a ballet dancer at the Musical Theater. My hobby, passion and life is dance. And when our son Artem was born (now he is already 3 years old), then on maternity leave we wanted to continue doing what he loved. It turned out that in our city there is a wonderful studio “Slingoledi”, in which mothers in sling, may-sling and ergonomic backpacks dance with their babies. For two years now, I have been a coach of this studio, which opened the wonderful world of babywearing for me and my son.

Why a sling? The ergonomic backpack became our assistant for a long time, we used it actively in the winter too – we enjoyed walking in a backpack and slingokurt. In fact, ergo is a miracle invention for mom, especially in a city where it is very difficult to walk with a stroller – you need to somehow get on the bus, overcome all the bumps, pits and steps on the street, and you cannot go to shops everywhere with a stroller come in. And there are no obstacles in the ergonomic backpack – put the child in and go! Anywhere, in any weather.

Sling or stroller? Doubting mothers who are faced with a choice, I can say that you need both the one and the other device to figure out how you and your child will be comfortable. But on my own behalf, I can say that there is no better feeling of a native crown at the distance of a kiss …

About myself. For the last two years, my profession, as I now believe, is the most important profession in the life of every woman – mom. Around the clock, without days off and holidays. In my life before motherhood, I am a fire inspector. Beading became my hobby during my pregnancy. I am fond of all kinds of sports and reading books.

About family. We have known my husband for over 10 years, but over the past two years our family has doubled! We have two children: fidget Misha (2 years old) and daughter Yesenia – she is almost 2 months old.

Why a sling? I chose a sling for my children. Any mother has two simple, but sometimes difficult to achieve desires: to simplify her life and to make her child’s life better. It seems to me that carrying a baby heart to heart satisfies both of these desires. The child is calm – the mother is happy, and vice versa, the mother is happy – the baby is calm. Yes, and our walks with the baby in the first month, before using the sling, looked like this – a restless baby in my arms, and I was pushing an empty stroller.

Sling or stroller? The baby in the sling is always in the center of the action! He sees and hears the same as his mother, and involuntarily develops faster – everything is in the black! But everything must be approached without fanaticism. If a mother has health and back problems, then, of course, a sling is not suitable for her. I cannot find other reasons why a mother, who carried a child inside herself for a long ten months, thinks that a newborn immediately after birth can calmly exist in isolation from the most dear person on earth.

About myself. Now I have the best profession – a happy mother, but in general I am a personnel manager and a psychologist. There are many hobbies and now they are mainly associated with the hobbies of an inquisitive and active kid – drawing everywhere and for everyone, music concerts, zoos, exhibitions, long walks – the list is growing every day. For yourself, beloved – good thoughtful films and theater.

About family. The child is still one – son Vladimir, who is 1 year and 10 months old, but sometimes it seems that there are so many of him!

Why a sling? My son spent the first six months of his life in my arms, otherwise he did not like it. He ate, slept, and stayed awake. Therefore, when the ergonomic backpack appeared, I felt free! With a sling, a lot of opportunities opened up in front of our small world: walks without obstacles and restrictions, and easy trips to visit, and shops – everything became available, and the most interesting thing – we both danced for the first time in our lives! And it started – new acquaintances, trainings, concerts and other events. The most important thing is that we are always close, together, we feel each other with our skin and the beloved man is happy.

Sling or stroller? The sling does not take root among those mothers who love Groundhog Day – to wander from day to day along the same route, who are not ready to discover new horizons and make new friends, who do not want to kiss their beloved crown at any time.

About myself. I am 28 years old and have my first baby. Before the birth of my son, I worked at PJSC Rostelecom and was engaged in the selection of personnel for the contact center. I am fond of STEM and sports.

About family. I have been happily married to my beloved husband Pasha for 3 years now. The son is growing up as a boss, as everyone tells us – Ivan Pavlovich. We are already 5 months old. Born on the day of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (12.12.2015) weighing 3500, height 53 cm. Now weighs already 8 kg!

Why a sling? Even before the birth of my son, I decided that I would buy an ergonomic backpack. And so we were born, ate and slept well for up to 1,5 months. But then everything is like everyone else! The son stopped sleeping at home, and we also wanted to walk more often. But we live on the 4th floor. It is logical that in winter I cannot pull out the stroller alone. And at 2 months we bought a sling and my life became much easier. I began to keep up with everything at home, and the baby began to sleep more during the day. And, accordingly, less capricious. And then I realized: why not buy a 3-in-1 jacket for the spring and go for a walk whenever we want and wherever we want. Since then, my husband began to call me with the words: “Are you at home?” And at home, as a rule, you will not find us. We live in the Chkalovsky village and quietly go to the park for a walk, we go to the pool since four months, to our grandmother who lives by the circus, to friends in Amur in a car with my husband, and there we walk with them wherever we want at any time, to work to yourself for the documents. In general, wherever we want, we go there. And most importantly, recently we have also started going to Slingotants. Now we have also found a hobby for our souls, since I previously studied at the theater of pop miniatures and really appreciate this kind of event. Now I can continue my hobbies and be realized. In short, we have time for everything, always in a great mood!

Sling or stroller? I am a psychologist by profession. And psychologists do not give advice, as you know. But I can say for sure: a sling is not a replacement for a stroller, however, when the period comes, and we had it somewhere from 2 to 5 months, that the child does not want to walk in the stroller, the sling helps a lot. I think very few people like to take out the stroller and the baby on themselves for half an hour, then walk for 40 minutes and then drag the baby in their arms and roll the stroller next to it. And also lift everything back and forth. But! If you have a calm baby who sleeps well in a stroller, then you can use a sling only in the following cases:

• Do not wait for your husband to come home from work to run for milk.
• You have to get to a certain place, and you are alone. It is extremely inconvenient to use a stroller in public transport.

• If your baby does not want to walk in a stroller, then only SLING will help here.
• If you were active before the decree and do not want to lose your activity, then the sling will help you realize yourself. Active decree is so cool!

About myself. I am a mother of two children. Very soon I am quitting the decree, working as a ballet dancer at the Musical Theater. As a creative person, I like to create with my hands (crafts made of felt, ribbons).

About family. My children are son Vsevolod (2 years 11 months) and daughter Tamila (1 year 5 months).

Why a sling? I ran into a sling at work when I was offered to become a slingotan trainer. Previously, she denied them and did not consider it necessary to acquire them. But how my life changed after meeting him! My mobility knew no bounds. And, of course, with the advent of the second child, the sling has become simply irreplaceable.

Sling or stroller? This is not a choice for me! I believe that there should be both. When there is an opportunity to walk with a stroller – I am for! But if this is moving around the city by public transport, going to the clinic, shopping or entertainment – definitely a sling. Having given birth to two children, I am not ready to close at home and not leave the sandbox. And when there were two children, so in general. The sling does not allow the kids to scatter. In general, I have some advantages from the sling.

Why a sling? Our acquaintance with the ergonomic backpack happened when we were five months old. As an economist by profession, I am used to optimizing expenses not only at work, but also at home, dividing all purchases for my daughter into necessary and those that you can do without. Sling, in my understanding, of course, fell into the second category, so we rode successfully in a wheelchair, having learned to overcome the difficulties of movement on our own or with someone’s help. But over time, I began to understand that, due to my character, I cannot live calmly and measuredly, I need to be everywhere and be in time for everything. Moreover, the decree opens up new opportunities, because you do not need to spend most of your life at work. So I began to think about a new purchase. And then our grandmother moves, how can my daughters and I miss this ?! We must definitely control the process. I had to urgently purchase a backpack, and we didn’t regret it a bit. And how quickly Vitalinka fell asleep in it for the first time. A walk to the second floor with a flower under her arm was enough for us, and she is already snoring sweetly under the groaning and delight of neighboring grandmothers. And then everything spun, spun, life full of impressions and new colors. Excursions, holidays, walks, working days at the dacha, harvesting, a three-hour walk around the ice town at -25, even the wallpaper was glued together, and you can’t list everything. They did not write off the stroller, they used it from time to time.

Sling or stroller? For me personally, a stroller and a sling are by no means exclusive to each other, but rather complementary. We infected all our friends and acquaintances, both with children and those who are planning, by wearing baby clothes, because I can tell and show on my little model how great it is for hours. Now Vitalina is 1 year and 3 months old and I involuntarily begin to realize that the time of slingopenia is not far off. Of course, we are trying in every possible way to postpone it (now we are actively practicing back wearing), but we are not going to sell our Me Baby Carrier backpack either, there are too many pleasant moments associated with it. Probably, for us it is like the first socks of a baby or a dummy … In “retirement” he will be with us, because real friends are not betrayed!

About myself. My name is Olesya. My husband is Pavel. We have a wonderful son, Roman. He is now 7 months old. I am the owner of the Lamis Siamese and Oriental cats cattery. A zoologist by education. I am fond of equestrian sports. Currently, I have the best profession – I am a mom!

About family. We have a very active family, we cannot sit still. We walk a lot, go to the forest, including in winter, to the stables, visit cat and dog exhibitions.

Why a sling? He became our salvation. Thanks to the sling, our child learns the world. The kid feels comfortable in it, sleeps and eats peacefully. The child becomes calmer next to his mother, and the mother has the opportunity to easily go to the store, go to the clinic by bus, take a walk with dad, go to a cafe and even dance! Now my son and I go to the Slingotants. All this brings our family very close and develops our baby. Among other things, this is incredible happiness – every moment to feel your baby near your heart, to hug and kiss it! Our child is happy, which means that our whole family is happy too!

About myself. I am a sling grandmother! I am 58 years old. Already 3 years retired, but worked as a programmer for many years. I am a happy grandmother of two boys and a certified sling consultant, as well as a manager of the Yunona online store. As a hobby – I sew patchwork quilts.

About family. I have a husband, two grown daughters, two sons-in-law and grandchildren, who are 5 and 7 years old. Wore both from scratch to 2,5 years. In all types of carriers, from a knitted scarf to a hipseat and a backpack.

Why a sling? I can’t imagine how it was possible to do without slings in principle. My daughter really needs my grandmother’s help. And my back already hurts. And the fifth floor and no lift. Well, I just really want to keep up with the boys everywhere!

Sling or stroller? The stroller, in my opinion, is a completely unnecessary invention. Of course, I drove my daughters in them, but then there were no slings. Mothers and grandmothers, what a happiness it is – to carry a baby at a distance of a kiss! Who is not a sling for? It suits everyone, that’s for sure. You just need to choose the right one.

About myself. I am a mother of three children. I work in BUZOO OKB. I have developed and run a practice according to the “Mom and Baby” program, which contributes to the correct physical development of the baby and the recovery of the mother after childbirth. I love to be creative, do crafts with children, ride bicycles, travel, I really love nature and the sounds of wildlife, I am a slingo lady and I am engaged in slingotants.

About family. Her husband’s name is Vladimir, son Vladislav is 16 years old, daughter Maria is almost 6 years old and the youngest Marianna is 1 year 8 months old. We have a sports family, my husband is fond of football, participates in competitions, our son – hockey, Maria – choreography, Marianna goes to developmental classes. I also do gymnastics with girls. They are very athletic, they love to run, jump, climbs, descents, exercises on fitball, and together we love to be creative.

Why a sling? The sling frees my hands, allows me to lead an active life, to do simple household chores with my child, as well as to walk, visit shops, take my eldest daughter to classes, pick up from kindergarten, use any public transport, and even dance. And also an incomparable feeling of that closeness and unity with my baby at the moment when she is in a sling.

Sling or stroller? Pediatricians and orthopedists say that when used correctly, the sling evenly distributes the weight of the child on the back and shoulders of an adult, it is in this position that the child behaves much calmer, sleeps better and happily comprehends the world around him, without experiencing anxiety. The sling helps to cope with crying and discomfort with colic, and if the child is sick, then it is in the sling that he quickly calms down and does not waste energy on screaming. This has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, and the closeness of the mother stimulates her milk production. With the first child, I also used a kangaroo, because. there was no alternative, but with the second it was already a safe correct sling, with the third daughter – a sling and an ergonomic backpack, and all three times they helped me a lot. Therefore, I can safely say that the sling not only makes life easier for parents, it is very necessary for the early and correct physical development of the body.

About myself. A programmer by profession, a mother by vocation. More precisely, slingomama. I found out about slings when I was in my fifth month of pregnancy, after which I began to be interested in the types of slings, their differences, ways of winding, watch training videos and I had a lot of patience to master the sling.

But “Moscow was not built right away!” A one-month-old toddler explained to me that a denim SSK with soft sides is not what kids want, so I had to buy an insert for a down jacket and a scarf for winter walks. I will never forget the first time I went for a walk with my baby in a sling … It is a magical feeling when a warm lump of happiness is pressed against your chest! So for the whole winter only grandmother walked with a stroller. And with me the baby was still near, almost under the heart, where he used to feel himself. And at concerts, and at a party, and on walks – everywhere he is with me, and I am with him. In the spring, the six-month-old son invited his mother to dance – he took her to the Slingotants. Where, where, and there you can not do without a sling!

Why a sling? Our family appreciates what unites people, makes life qualitatively better, and therefore we try to share our experience. These ideas prompted me to participate in slingocrossing, babywearing week, various events of the Slingoledi studio. Our life is filled with bright events! Mothers all over our country should know that being a mother does not at all mean staying at home or thinking about where to “park” a stroller at a party. Climbing stairs without a ramp? Catch up, wheeled! We will show you how great it is to carry everything with you!
