      The Baby Sits Too Low<\/h2>\r\n\"baby\r\n

      If your baby sits too low, it not only strains your back but can also make it harder for the baby to breathe.<\/p>\r\n

      The simple rule of thumb is: Your baby should sit high enough that you can reach them with a kiss on the head (“head-kiss height”). If your baby’s chin is too close to their chest, you should adjust the binding to ensure free breathing.<\/p>\r\n

      Too Loose Binding<\/h2>\r\n\"sling\r\n

      A sling that is too loose can lead to your baby not having enough support and slipping.<\/p>\r\n

      The sling should be tight enough to keep your baby close to your body, but not so tight that it becomes uncomfortable. A good test: When you lean slightly forward, your baby should stay with you and not slip away from your body.<\/p>\r\nHow to tie the Ring Sling correctly<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n

      \r\n

      Ben\u00f6tigte Zeit:\u00a0<\/span>1 Minute.<\/p>\r\n

      Das Binden eines Ring Slings ist tats\u00e4chlich einfach, wenn du den Dreh raus hast. Hier eine Schritt-f\u00fcr-Schritt-Anleitung f\u00fcr die g\u00e4ngigste Technik, die sich auch im Haushalt bew\u00e4hrt hat:<\/p>\r\n

        \r\n
      1. Tuch vorbereiten:<\/strong><\/strong>\r\n

        \u00a0Lege den Ring Sling \u00fcber eine Schulter, sodass die Ringe etwa auf H\u00f6he deiner Schulter liegen.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

      2. Tuch durch die Ringe ziehen:<\/strong>\r\n

        Greife das Ende des Tuchs und ziehe es durch beide Ringe. Dann f\u00fchrst du das Tuch durch einen der Ringe zur\u00fcck, sodass eine \u201eSchnalle\u201c entsteht.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

      3. Baby in den Sling setzen:<\/strong>\r\n

        Setze dein Baby auf die gegen\u00fcberliegende H\u00fcfte (also die, auf der der Sling nicht liegt) und f\u00fchre das Tuch \u00fcber seinen R\u00fccken.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

      4. Sitz und Position anpassen:<\/strong>\r\n

        Ziehe das Tuch fest und \u00fcberpr\u00fcfe, ob das Kind sicher und stabil sitzt. Sein Gesicht sollte jederzeit sichtbar sein und es sollte leicht an deinem K\u00f6rper anliegen, ohne eingeengt zu sein.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

      5. Lockerheit und Spannung pr\u00fcfen:<\/strong>\r\n

        Achte darauf, dass das Tuch gut festgezogen ist, damit dein Baby sicher sitzt, aber dennoch genug Bewegungsfreiheit hat, um bequem zu atmen und sich wohl zu f\u00fchlen. Das richtige Binden ist der Schl\u00fcssel f\u00fcr die Sicherheit und den Komfort beim Tragen im Haushalt. Nimm dir daher zu Beginn ein paar Minuten Zeit, um den Ring Sling korrekt anzulegen.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

        Incorrect Spread-Squat Position<\/h2>\r\n\"spread-squat\r\n

        The baby’s legs hang straight down instead of being in the recommended M-Position<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

        Ensure that your baby’s knees are higher than their bottom and that there is a slight spread. This position relieves the hips and promotes the healthy development of the musculoskeletal system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

        The Baby’s Face is Covered<\/h2>\r\n\"baby\r\n

        If the fabric of the sling covers your baby’s face, it can restrict breathing.<\/p>\r\n

        Keep the face always free and make sure you can observe your baby well. Especially in the first weeks, it is important that the chin does not fall onto the chest to avoid obstructing breathing.<\/p>\r\n\t
