New Native Baby Carrier New Native Baby Sling Navy
If you love the idea of wearing your baby but find that traditional carriers strain your back or shoulders, consider the New Native Baby Sling. Endorsed by chiropractors, it distributes the weight of your baby evenly from your shoulders to your hips, aligning your baby’s center of gravity as close to you as possible. Its unique design allows you to wear your baby across your front, on your side, or in back. Easy to use, it has no belts, buckles, clips, or straps to adjust. Simply slide the carrier over your torso and slip your baby in or out in seconds. A built-in curve keeps the sides of the carrier up even when you bend over. Because this sling is so convenient, you’ll spend more time in close physical contact with your baby, strengthening your bond. Perfect for breastfeeding moms, the sling provides support while affording you a bit of privacy. New Native Baby Sling
