A ringsling is a short woven wrap with on the end 2 aluminum rings. This babycarrier is suitable for carrying on your front and hip and it’s very easy and quick to use. A ringsling is ideal for carrying around the house, a walk with the dog, or quick grocery shoppings.

From which age can i use a ringsling

If all safety instructions are considered it is advised to use an babywrap from birth until both caregiver and child no longer feel comfortable with it.

Consult an expert if your child was born with a low birth weight, such as a premature or twins, or if your infant has respiratory illness or other respiratory problems. Extra vigilance is required with these babies.

What are the benefits of wearing your baby in a ringsling

When you are going out for a walk, the ringsling is the most easiest and quick babycarrier to use. No wrapping needed, you only have to hang the ringsling around your shoulder, place your child in the carrier and tighten the fabric by pulling it through the aluminum rings.

Beside this there is also a practical advantage. You are giving your child a cosy, warm and peaceful place close to you, and in the same time you are having your hands free.

Of course baby wearing has many more advantages. For children it’s extremely important to attach to their parents and caregivers. While wearing your baby the ‘cuddle hormone’ will release, Oxytocine. Oxytocin is very important when it comes to attachment.

While wearing your baby in a babywrap, your baby hears your heartbeat and feels your warmth, that will calm your baby. Baby’s that are close to their caregivers will experience less stress and have more energy to grow.

Babywearing also stimulates breastfeeding and has a very positive effect on baby’s with reflux.

Ofcourse there are many more benefits of babywearing, but most important; wearing your baby is super cozy!
