Recently we've all heard about the tragic deaths related to the baby sling carriers and the subsequent recall. I admit that in the past I too used a sling type carrier, however I did not do so until my daughter was one. They made me nervious for the very reasons that they have now been found to be dangerous. I was concerned first with my daugther falling out and second that all that fabric might suffocate her.
When mom indroduced me the the My Baby Nest, my fears of using this product were quickly set aside as my son was in an upright position. He was still close to me but becaue of the sling design I could have him in either a nursing position, or an upright position. Most importantly in the nursing position he was still above my breast. This is important because I could see his face and know that he was still accessing fresh air.
For this reason I continue to carry the My Baby Nest wrap, a safe alternative to the baby sling carriers that are currently being recalled. To read more about the recall visit the link below.
