Baby Sling Safety

Baby Sling Safety

Read and follow the instructions in this booklet before you use your sling.

DO NOT use a sling until you have read and fully understand the safety instructions.
Babyslings are designed to carry full-term babies (over 37 weeks gestation) weighing 6 lbs (2.8kg) or more. We recommend a maxium weight of 35 lbs (16kg).
Use common sense. While learning to use a pouch sling keep a hand on your baby at all times.
Ensure that your baby is positioned in the sling according to the directions.
Use the correct size sling. A sling that is too large is less secure and makes it difficult to position the baby correctly.
Use carrying positions that are appropriate for your baby’s age and development.
Use the sling hands-free only with a cooperative baby.
Do not leave a sleeping baby alone while enclosed in the sling.
Keep a hand on your baby while bending. Bend at the knees, not your waist.
Do not use your sling in situations that could harm your child. Be cautious around hot or sharp objects.
Whether you carry your baby in your arms, or in a baby carrier, there is always the possibility that an accidental trip or fall could result in injury to you or your baby. Please be careful when walking on stairs, wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces.
If you have any concerns or questions about the safe usage of your baby sling, please do not use your sling until your questions have been answered. Please email your questions to info@browniesnbutterflies.com or call us at 817-231-0780.
