baby slingsWith the assortment of cradles, strollers, seats, cribs, prams and every other invention out there, it’s hard to decide what to carry your baby in. But the best answer for both you and baby is the simplest: baby slings. Here are some reasons why baby slings are the best carrying method, according to ergonomenon.com:

1. Provide balanced back support without straining the neck.
2. Allow for discreet breastfeeding in a comfortable position.
3. Babies are ergonomically correct; their legs are not spread apart, conflicting with the damage of the pelvis, or shoved through a restrictive opening and constricting circulation.
4. Sling can be removed easily even with baby asleep inside it.
5. Constant contact with the baby promotes bonding.
6. The baby’s head is supported without applying any compression to it’s central nervous system or spine.
7. Reinforce positive attachment between babies and parents, and reduce stress hormones.
8. Enables baby to sleep better, aids in digestion, and reduces crying and colic.
9. Stimulates baby’s vestibular system, which is the parts of the inner ear that work like levels or sensors to control the body’s sense of balance.
10. Promotes cognitive development and speech development, because baby is exposed to more experiences and conversations.
