I always found baby carrying to be a very elegant, sweet idea, and ever since I saw a photo of Keri Russell tenderly carrying her little bunchkin in a sling, I felt even more strongly that this is a beautiful, bonding way to hold your baby.
I started to look into this, and learned there are many benefits to baby-wearing:
♥ Wearing your baby close to you allows you to easily reach, caress, and talk to your baby,
♥ Being physically close to a parent and being touched often gives a baby a greaters sense of well-being, and higher levels of self-esteem later in life,
♥ A mother and father feel more bonded to a baby that is close to them for at least three hours a day,
♥ Your baby is safe- slings are safe and secure, and your baby is always within reach,
♥ Baby wearing allows for easy, discreet nursing,
♥ You are able to carry your child and keep your hands free for errands, shopping for groceries, etc.,
♥ Your baby is unable to run off if you are distracted for a moment,
♥ Your baby can fall asleep if he wants to, and you don’t have to put him into a stroller or seat, or even tote one around as you go about your day,
♥ Studies show babies that are carried sleep better,
♥ Studies show that babies that are held and touched often have stronger immune systems and develop higher IQ’s,
♥ Benefits of a sling over a traditional carrier include: ease of putting on and removing (no buckles and straps to fit and adjust), ease of storage (less bulky, easy to fit into a diaper bag or purse), and easy to clean (throw in the wash with your other clothes),
and many more.
New Native Inc is a great company that supports and encourages baby-wearing wholeheartedly. They make beautiful, perfectly sized slings for the baby wearer (in sizes XS to 5XL) in a variety of patterns and solid colors, and each sling is guaranteed to fit. If it doesn’t, even after washing and shrinking it a bit, you can still exchange it. New Native Inc is dedicated to helping you successfully carry your baby close to you and receive all the benefits of baby carrying, and will work with you until you are totally satisfied with the fit.
Each sling comes with a cd of instructions for the many, many ways to wear your baby (in front, on the hip, behind, infants or older children, or even two babies at once!) and the many ways to put the sling on.
I was sent an organic baby sling in the cherry blossom pattern to review, and practiced using it for a day, not feeling I was getting the hang of it (it seemed a tad too big). I wasn’t sure if I had the right size, because I’m in between sizes xs and small, so I washed it and tried again. It shrunk a bit, making it a better fit. I tried the carrier again, with an infant and a slightly older child (these are great for up to 35 pounds), and found it very easy to carry a baby with the sling, comfortable for both me and the baby, and fun! I am very much looking forward to carrying my soon-to-be-baby around close to me and plan to get more in different colors.
Buy it! A New Native organic sling can be purchased for approximately $54.00 (contact the company if you are unsure about sizing). They also offer organic baby clothes, personal products for new mom and baby, and much more.



I like the 100% Organic Cotton Cocoa Brown Twill Baby Carrier with Sweet Jane Trim. Very sweet, I wonder if this would help my back carrying around my 20 pound daughter.

Oh, wow, I'd LOVE to win this for my sister! I have a baby sling now, and my 14 month old still fits into it and LOVES it! I'd have to go with 100% Organic Cotton Natural Twill Baby Carrier with Poppy Trim… organic cotton is so soft, and that poppy trim is beautiful.

Oooh, crossing my fingers on this one! I tried to use a ring sling with DS and it didn't fit me quite right, I had wanted to try a pouch with him but never had the $ to buy one…holding out hope I'll get to try one with this new baby!

The slings now are so beautiful and updated and I sure wish I had a need for one. What a fantastic company.
