Q&A for new parents (1) Will slings and slings cause bow-legged babies? Many parents are worried that when babies use slings and slings, their legs need to be spread too wide, which will affect leg development in the long run. In fact, the baby\’s natural leg shape is separated, that is, M-shaped. Starting from the time when the legs need to support weight when they learn to walk, they will slowly develop from the \”O\” shape into the normal straight legs of adults within a few years.

Holding the baby vertically is a favorite position. It broadens the field of vision, allows the baby to see a larger and farther space, and can also stimulate the baby\’s cognitive development. The key point is to support the baby\’s head, neck and back well when holding it vertically. As long as the baby can breathe smoothly, there will be no problems.

Compared with ring slings, ringless slings have a variety of operation styles and can adjust the posture according to needs, so they are welcomed by most mothers. However, ring slings are outstanding in terms of anti-slip performance, so everyone still needs to choose according to their own needs. (4) Can the baby carrier be carried cross-body? The straps you see on the market are usually carried on two shoulders, but some can also be carried on one shoulder. This is mainly when purchasing a sling. Pay attention to whether it can carry your baby cross-body. Not all slings can be operated in this way.
