~*~Important~*~
Infantino has recalled all 'Slingrider' bag-type slings in USA see article here
'Bag Sling' brands in NZ include Baby First, Premaxx, Lamaze and Infantino Slingrider.
If your sling is NOT one of these, then it is absolutely fine.
Other baby slings are still safe and beneficial to use.
Like anything, baby carriers require some practice to wear, and positioning is especially important for newborns.
Make sure baby's neck is straight, you can get your finger easily under their chin, and their face is clear. If they are curled up or snuffling, adjust them.
If you are unsure, please come to a meeting, post a question on the forum or contact Jessica via the Contact Us page.
Slingbabies is a non-profit educational babywearing resource and group,
to promote and support parents wearing their babies in slings. Here
you will find expert advice and information on many types of baby
carriers, and where to get them.No payment
is accepted for recommending any one brand over another, all
information is based on merits of the carriers themselves. It is up to
you to read the information here and use it to choose the best baby
carrier for you and your precious little one.
