Infantino Slings Recalled

Here's a link to the NYTimes article about the recent recall on Infantino slings. Slings have gotten a lot of bad press in the last 2 weeks, so here's what you need to know:

• Wear a baby younger than 4 months in the Upright Inward-Facing, Tummy to Tummy position
• Do NOT carry baby in the "Cradle Carry" position any longer! This is the "risky" position according to all these reports.
• Make sure NOTHING covers the baby nose & mouth, like the sling fabric, clothing, or anything else or the baby could suffocate in 2 minutes.
• Be sure you can SEE your baby's nose & mouth
• Make sure the baby's head is not bent forwards towards his/ her chest because this can impede airflow & breathing.

If you are feeling anxious, then wait until your baby has good head control and start using the sling later (3 - 4 months old) and I assure you that you'll love it and get a lot of use out of it! Just read our reviews at www.thebabywearer.com
