My new Sling This is my new ergo, I am excited.Riaan has grew out of the ring sling some what. He likes to be craddled in it and it is starting to hurt my back. I really like the decision of this as our newest babywearing tool because: 1.It is 100 percent organic 2.The ERGO Baby Carrier's design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth 3.Workers are paid minimum wage and are paid by the hour from 9 am to 5 pm Monday thru Saturday.This is important we are trying not to participate in the terrible treatment of people around the world. 4. This of course for all carriers is very important and why we babywear Babies cry less. Slinging a Baby reduces crying and fussiness 43% during the day and 51% at night according to a randomized controlled test reported in Pediatrics Good for baby's mental development Good for baby's emotional development Babies who are carried for prolonged periods of time tend to develop good tone in the neck and trunk and are able to adjust their posture nicely in different positions once they are self mobile. In other words, you could expect the child to obtain sitting balance and transitional movements between positions, such as from sitting to standing, more rapidly, and more enhanced balance when walking Good for babies whose mums are depressed and over stressed Sling carriers allow babies to see and feel their caregiver while allowing their caregiver to hold them comfortably and for longer periods of time. Being able to see and feel their caregiver lowers the stress hormones in a baby's system, thus lessening crying, spitting up, and diaper rashes. Sling carriers literally "sling" over the parent's shoulder. This style, as opposed to the carriers which use straps, greatly increases the comfort of the nursing mother because it doesn't restrict circulation in her chest tissue
