"Hands free carrying" enables nurturing of one's child
in the best possible way while you work or play. This baby
carrier is receiving enthusiastic support from hospital and
university pediatric departments, lactation consultants, baby
authors, natural childbirth educators, birthing centers and
chiropractors.
The "Over the Shoulder
Baby Holder" is one of the most versatile carriers, allowing
you to carry the baby in front lying down or sitting up, on your
hip, or on your back. The way it adjusts using the rings means
you can wear a newborn snug and high on your chest, and a few
minutes later a toddler on your hip. It is one of the easiest to
learn how to use.
Over the Shoulder Baby Holder has a unique fold which creates a
hammock effect for the nursing infant or sleeping child, with
twice the padding of other slings. Carrying an infant close to
the heart and baby's source of nourishment promotes bonding and
intimacy. Infants feel very secure and thrive.
Being carried in this way lays the
foundation for good feelings of self-worth and sociability. Your
baby can be exposed to a variety of experiences and yet feel safe
and secure in its cocoon. The "womb with a view."
Baby can lay down to sleep or nurse with head supported. This
takes the weight off the spine. The sling supports the baby's
head, follows the natural contour of the spine & keeps legs
together.
All slings are $40.00, and they are available in many fashionable
colors. You can purchase a sling from La Leche League of Teaneck,
NJ one of three ways:
1. Call one of the Group Leaders for information on ordering.
2. Send an email to RebeccasMom with your subject "Slings." Please include your name and telephone number. One of the Group Leaders will call you back as soon as possible.
3. Come to the next scheduled meeting, and see the full demonstration, choose your sling and bring it home with you!
