When Jude Kuipers registered for her baby shower, the expensive stroller, crib, bassinet and traditional front-pack were her highest priority items. Now, she looks back and laughs. Since she developed the Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling, she never uses any of those things. When she came home from the hospital, exhausted from an emergency c-section and nursing constantly, she wanted to just stay curled up with her baby on the couch forever. But eventually she realized there are a few things to be done when caring for a newborn. The problem was, Jude couldn’t bear to set her precious baby down even for a moment. She remembered reading about babywearing in Dr. Sears, but the front pack she’d gotten at her baby shower was bulky, confusing and uncomfortable. She was determined to find a way to make babywearing work.
The design of the Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling is the result of years of brainstorming and development, working to make an adjustable sling more elegant. Jude wanted to create a sling that adjusted without bulky hardware. Her goal was an invisibly adjustable sling, wonderful when multiple babywearers of different sizes want to share the same baby carrier. The Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling also adjusts as you lose your baby weight (or get pregnant again!).
The Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling is breathtaking, and photos do not really do justice to the elegant, washable silk. The sleek design is quick to slip on and off. The Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling adjusts to fit both parents. It is ideal for newborns, who can curl up in a natural fetal position and nurse discreetly. It is also wonderful for toddlers who want to sit in an upright position, with extra padding to cushion their legs.
While a baby sling may seem confusing at first – and let’s face it, to the sleep deprived, everything is confusing – it is actually easier than a stroller, lighter than a car seat, and faster and less bulky than traditional front carriers. Traditional front carriers put unnatural stress on an infant’s spine, are too bulky to keep in a diaper bag, and are not conducive to breastfeeding.
The Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling can be used as soon as your baby is born. There is no minimum weight requirement. It can continue to be used in several different positions until your toddler weighs around 35 pounds. With the luxurious fabric of the Mamma’s Milk Silk Baby Sling spread out over your shoulder, your baby’s weight is distributed across your entire back.
