Over the Shoulder Baby Holder is the best sling you can get. This sling is so comfortable to wear, easy to put on and affordable. Over the Shoulder Baby Holder is made out of sturdy 100% cotton material wider than other baby slings with flame-resistant, hypoallergenic padding on either side of sling for you and your babies comfort. There are nylon rings that work to keep the sling in place, they are made so that the heavier the baby, the tighter they grasp the fabric, so no worries. There is also a special ring at the end of the "tail" so that if by chance the sling is worn incorrectly, it will not slip free.
You can use the OTSBH for babies birth to 3 years. There are many ways to wear your baby, tummy to tummy, hip stradle, piggy back or the basic laying down or cradle. Find out how to wear the sling here.
These can also be used for twins. You can put both twins in one sling, once they get bigger you can use two slings and put one on each hip or side.
I have used mine since my son was born. He has enjoyed every minute. He never cries, except when he is hungry which is very easily fixed since I can nurse him in it. I don't have to worry about finding a place to sit or figure out how to keep him semi-covered. All I do is offer him the breast and it's all taken care of. He nurses when we walk and since the OTSBH is large enough, I just pull the side up a little so nothing is exposed. He usually falls asleep after he is done nursing. And I haven't missed a beat in my walk! OTSBH also offers a great way for dad and baby to bond. If you nurse, dad may not get the time he wants with baby. So, just send dad out with the baby in sling for a walk and 9 times out of 10 the baby is fast asleep when they return home! A study in Pediatrics showed that carrying babies in this manner reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night.
So, your baby's happy and you're happy.
