Mom always has a lot of worries. Sometimes, it would be nice to have another couple of hands, because the child occupies the lion's share of time and attention. Since ancient times, our ancestors have invented a device with which for a while there is an opportunity to unload their hands. The sling is useful in cases where there are many worries, and the child cannot be released from the hands. In many ancient cultures, they were used, had different names and forms, and in fact - this is a piece of fabric for wearing children - like “carry everything with yours”. Their convenience and tradition helped them to reach this day. Now there are several types of slings, different options for wearing them and a huge number of opinions about their benefits and harm.
Sling with rings - what are
So, the sling is a fabric section, more than 2 meters long, with a width of 50 cm. For it, a special fabric is used, which has the ability to remain not stretched. Her weaving shifts along the oblique, prevents stretching.

How to wear sling with rings
The sling with rings has many fans and many opponents. Those who use the ring-ginging according to the rules are very satisfied, because its proper wearing is the key to comfortable use. So, in order:
- Firstly, a system of two rings is very simple. It is enough to draw a neatly folded free edge into both rings, and return the tail through the lower ring. This mounting system allows you to correct the length of the sling. That's right when the edge with a ring clings to the shoulder itself, and not the neck. It will be easier to lay inside the child, supporting him behind his back with one hand and changing his hands when he is half inside. It is necessary to monitor the correct position of the body during use.
- Secondly, a child can be seated in different positions. If the baby is still very small, his handles should be laid with him, and pull the panel itself to the neck. With the elders, you can leave the pens at large. A vertical position will allow the baby to look at what is happening around. The main poses for the baby in the sling are vertical (face to face, the density of pressing is important) and horizontal. The horizontal pose has several options and everything is suitable for feeding. In any position, the reaction of the baby and his position are very important. Do not allow its twisting. You should be embarrassed to distribute the strength of the back support by regulating the length of the sling. There should not be a baby’s chatting, but you should not pull it. Unfortunately, this will not work right away, here you need to act experimentally.
- Thirdly, the child needs to give a break from such a load. Make him a break once an hour.
For and against the sling with rings
Positive moments of such a device begin with the free hands of the bearing. If we ensure the correct position for the child and for itself, the center of gravity does not shift, and fatigue will come much later. Slings provide mobility. The negative is that if you allow a very long sitting in one position, some consequences for posture are possible, you should more often free the baby and thereby reduce the load. There is a possibility of spilling something onto the baby or touching the head, but this applies to the question of the responsibility of parents, of course.
So, sling on the rings is an excellent invention of ancestors, which has survived to this day and performs the same function as many years ago. The ancients believed that the child, being close to the mother, has energy protection and feeding from her.
The use of ringlings should be responsible. Here are the factors for reflection are such - the place of use, weather conditions and the physical condition of the baby.
