Unless you were warned to do some serious weight training before conceiving your baby, you may be wondering right about now when your arm is going to fall out of the socket. Between lugging the giant car seat (and baby) in and out of the car, and constantly hiking a tired toddler onto your hip, moms must develop an upper body strength envied by Olympic weight lifters. But you don't have to do all that heavy lifting alone!
Hotslings Padded Pouch Slings are an innovative design combining fashion with function. They help you hold your newborn or toddler in a position that's ergonomically correct for them and comfortable for you. Best of all, being a mom doesn't have to mean wearing cartoon characters and dump trucks. Hotslings Padded Pouch Slings are available in a variety of fashionable colors and styles.
Hotslings Padded Pouch Slings are the ultimate in simplicity - one piece of fabric that requires no tying, adjusting, snapping, or aspirin. The wide shoulder spreads evenly across your back, distributing the baby's weight. The sleek leg padding protects baby's tender knees from the digging common to some baby carriers. With a tiny baby, wearing the padding on the top rail gives a teething baby a soft place to chew. And a Hotslings Padded Pouch Sling is extremely compact. It folds down smaller than a diaper, so you can always have it on hand in your bag or purse. They are machine washable, and hanging to dry will preserve the life of the Hotslings Padded Pouch Sling and make sure it does not shrink. All Hotslings are made in the USA, under fair labor conditions.
The only tricky thing about a Hotslings Padded Pouch Sling is getting a good fit. Most people get it right the first time, and many sizes allow for a precise, custom fit. Sizing is very important in selecting your Hotslings Padded Baby Sling. Please refer to the sizing chart to get the best size for your body.
When wearing a pouch, the bottom of the pouch should be somewhere around your belly button. If it hangs down lower, you need a size smaller. If the baby is inside and it feels tight and uncomfortable, you need a size up. If your baby won't fit in at all, you need two sizes up. When in the Hotslings Padded Pouch Sling, the baby should feel snug and swaddled, just like in the womb (minus the amniotic fluid).
Hotslings Padded Pouch Slings are terrific for newborns and ideal for breastfeeding. As your baby grows into a toddler, you can continue to wear them in your Hotslings Padded Pouch Sling in up to five different positions. It is easy to swing your baby from one side to another or from front to back, with no adjusting. Meanwhile, you carry on with your life, hands free. Your toddler will probably outgrow their desire to be worn before the sling becomes unable to handle their weight.
