A baby sling is a type of carrier designed to hold an infant close to a caregiver's body. Made from soft fabric, it allows for hands-free carrying while promoting bonding between the caregiver and the baby. Slings come in various styles, including wraps, pouches, and ring slings, each offering different ways to secure the baby. Using a baby sling can provide comfort for both the baby and the caregiver. It can help soothe fussy infants and make it easier to navigate daily tasks. Additionally, baby slings can support healthy hip development when used correctly, making them a popular choice for parents.
