1)Hands free - When your baby is in a sling you get your hands back to do whatever you need to - I've cooked, cleaned, shopped, sewn, knitted and even worked at a market stall with my baby in a sling.2)Comforted baby - For a newborn the environment inside the sling simulates the womb, the baby can hear the heartbeat of the wearer and feels safe. When your baby is carried close you can respond really quickly to needs.
3)Less burping - The constant movement in a sling can help to ease colic and reflux.
4)Better head shape - There is no pressure on the head with a baby sling and babies who are carried are less prone to Flat Head Syndrome (which they can get if they spend a lot of time on their backs).
5)Helps bonding - Slings are excellent bonding tools for fathers and grandparents.
6)Happier baby - Babies who are carried have less stress hormones.
7)Milk on Tap - Most slings are easy to breastfeed in discreetly.
8)Stairs are no problem - No more thumping a pushchair up steps!
9)Cleaner Air - In a pushchair the baby is at the same height as exhaust pipes, in a sling, the baby is higher up and away from them.
10)No bashing bags - I lost count of the number of times people smashed their bags into my pushchair - you don't get that problem with slings as your baby is carried at your chest height.
