Just because you are a mom does not mean you want to be covered in bunny rabbits, ducklings, or pink gingham. Hotslings understands that. Hotslings Designer Baby Slings are available in the most current, fashionable fabrics that fit your modern wardrobe. Hotslings Designer Baby Slings include the original leg padding of the Hotslings Padded Pouch Sling. Some are Reversible (non-stretch) and some are Stretch Cotton. Non-stretch pouches are made of 100% cotton, and Stretch pouches are made of 97% cotton and 3% spandex.

Hotslings Stretch pouches have just a bit of give, like stretch jeans. The 3% spandex helps the sling conform more to your shoulder and your baby. The stretch is very slight, and the pouches are still structured, safe and supportive.

Reversible pouches have their advantages as well. For one, two layers of fabric provide extra comfort and support, as well as versatility. There are also many more beautiful fabric choices in reversible. They tend to be sized a bit smaller than the stretch cotton pouches.

Hotslings Designer Baby 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 Designer Baby 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 Designer Baby 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 Designer Baby 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 Designer Baby Sling. Please refer to the sizing chart to get the best size for your body.

When wearing a Hotsling Designer Baby Sling, 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 Designer Baby Slings, the baby should feel snug and swaddled, just like in the womb (minus the amniotic fluid).

Hotslings Designer Baby 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 Designer Baby Sling in up to five different positions. It is easy to swing your baby from one side to another 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.
