The baby sling<\/strong> is a wonderful way to keep your baby close to you, strengthen your bond, and make your everyday life easier. However, especially at the beginning, small mistakes often creep in that can affect carrying comfort and safety. Many parents wonder why their back hurts or why the baby remains restless. The most common carrying mistakes can be avoided with a few simple adjustments.<\/p>\r\n\r\nTable of Content<\/strong> \r\n

      A sling tied too low<\/h2>\r\n\"sling\r\n\r\n

      One of the biggest mistakes is a carry position that is too low. If your baby sits too far down, the weight shifts unfavorably, which can quickly lead to tension. A good rule of thumb: your baby should be at kissing height so that you can reach their head without effort. It’s also important to ensure that the chin doesn’t sink onto the chest to avoid obstructing breathing.<\/p>\r\n

      Another problem is a tie that is too loose. The baby should be close to the body but, of course, not squeezed. A simple test: if you lean forward slightly, your baby should stay firmly with you and not slip forward. If you feel that your child is “hanging” in the sling, it’s time to retie it. The correct posture is also crucial. Babies should be carried in the spread-squat position<\/strong>, with their knees slightly higher than their bottom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      This is the spread-squat position<\/h2>\r\n\"spread-squat\r\n\r\n

      This ergonomic M-position supports the healthy development of the hip joints and ensures a comfortable seating posture.
