The Babylonia BB Sling is a beautifully designed woven ring sling with two aluminium rings to allow for easy adjustment. Simple to use from birth right up to 3 to 4 years, the BB Sling has a pleat-style which cups the shoulder holding the sling comfortably in place. The special fabric of the BB-SLING is woven using the best weaving techniques for slings offering optimal support for new born babies up to children of 3 to 4 years. Suitable from 2 to 20kg, it features 5 carrying positions (Hip, cradle, heart to heart, facing out and back). After nine months of warmth, movement and constant contact with the mother, babies who are carried close to the body visibly enjoy this direct physical contact. The cherishing body-to-body contact fulfils baby's primal and deep needs and offers an ideal position from which to discover the big wide world. Providing optimum support both in the cradle and M-position, the fabric of this ring sling is specially woven to provide strength and offer support. In a simple sling, your baby feels safe and secure, feeling your physical warmth and hearing your voice and heartbeat. Your little one recognises your scent and can have permanent eye contact with you. Research indicates that babies who are carried on a daily basis cry significantly less. In a sling your baby is not forced to be passive, instead participating naturally in your daily activities. Hence, your baby can observe and hear quite a bit, which is beneficial for psycho-social development. When your little one has had enough, they can simply close their eyes and fall asleep on your chest. During the first few months it is not always easy for a young father to develop an equally close bond with baby as the mother. However, with a sling, he can undertake a lot of things at a very early stage with the baby safely tucked on his chest. The BB Sling is made using responsibly sourced organic cotton under a Fair Trade project in India.
