Say goodbye to those complicated sizing charts and hello to the infinite possibilities of the adjustable Hotsling. Two buckles allow the Hotsling to fit comfortably on almost every body type while also accommodating (very easily) to postpartum body changes. Just adjust and go! The Hotsling baby slings are an innovative design that combines fashion with function.
Key Points for Safe Babywearing:
- Keep chin off chest: two fingers should easily fit between the child's chin and chest
- Baby's face should be in view at all times with no need to move sling or carrier
- Baby should be high on wearer's body: "close enough to keep the top of his head
- Baby's face should never be turned in against wearer's body or into fabric of sling
- Semi-reclined or upright position preferable to horizontal one
Extra Care Should be Given to the following:
- Babies under 4 months that have yet to develop head control
- High Risk: Premature infants, twins, babies with parent who smokes, babies in fragile health
