Bag slings, which are worn messenger-bag style across your body, are unsafe as they’ve been associated with a risk of suffocation. Both of these types of sling typically involve baby in a seating position facing their parent, or perched on a parent's hip. K is for Keep chin off chest. "Their chin should be off their chest and baby's airway open and unobstructed, and remain so if baby falls asleep," says Rosie.PREMIUM COTTON BLEND: A soft, lightweight, breathable fabric, with just the right amount of stretch. Made with natural cotton and ZERO harmful chemicals. The superior quality ensures years of repeated use, and it’s machine washable too. A ring sling is typically a piece of non-stretchy fabric attached to rings at one end and slung diagonally across the body from shoulder to hip. Education – our current education system is geared one way – towards telling the story of white men. We need to understand and be taught about the contributions of women, and of people of colour too. Breaking these stereotypes alone will help future generations to be more open to people from all walks of life. There are other benefits of using an Amawrap baby sling, too, including less colic and reflux. Keeping your child upright in an Amawrap baby sling wrap aids digestion, and also serves as a gentle massage to babys stomach.

Sophie: The only restriction was I couldn't see that the child is able to forward face in the sling, which is preferred for the older child ( I found from 12 months my children would prefer to look outwards). This could restrict the use for some children and parents. In general a well made product that has been well researched and supported. A baby carrier is a secure and practical way to carry your baby around, but if you're looking for everyday comfort, you may find a baby sling or a baby wrap works best for you and your little one. With so many parents swearing by their baby slings and wraps, we can see why they've become so popular. Catia: I think this product should be considered to win best wrap because it is great, it folds really well, you can easily take it with you in your changing bag. Fabric is very soft, there’s many colours to choose from, it’s very long in length so anyone can use it, even men. It’s a light fabric so it’s great for summer.

Catia: This wrap did help me a lot, my son is a baby that wants to be held all the time, so this was a godsend. I put my son on the wrap and he goes to sleep straight away, and it’s so easy to put on and take it off. Also having three children, being hands-free on the school run it’s great. It’s great to do some housework, also I was really amazed that I managed to breastfeed my son while having him wrapped.
