Mummy! Take me in your arms!
When a baby masters the art of walking, it wants to still improve this difficult task. I can walk and I won’t hesitate to use it. I am walking - of course, not in the direction chosen by my mum. I am walking - till one is blue in the face. And when I lost my strength, one option left - take me in your arms! Chasing our little treasure with a stroller is not an easy peasy. But there are more options!
A ring sling is light, small, you can store it in your bag and wait when your little saunterer is tired. It does not need a complex tying. It a two-meter piece of a material, which is ended with two rings, through which you pull the material and then tighten it. Once you prepare the ring sling, you can use it multiple times. It takes little effort to adjust it. Mainly, it is used to babywear on a hip, but you can use the ring sling for both front and back carry.

Shoulder in the ring sling
LennyLamb ring slings are available in two options: with s pleated shoulder and with a gathered shoulder. A ring sling with gathered shoulders enables one to distribute the material on the shoulder as one wants and distributing the material on the back widely. Whereas, the pleated shoulder gives bigger freedom of movement. It is a better solution for people with narrow shoulders. The sling looks elegant. The choice of the shoulder in an individual decision.
Ring sling for newborn and baby
The ring sling can be used from the first days. In case of tying newborns, we recommend carry with a reversed edge of the ring sling with gathered shoulders. This way, it is easier to obtain the asymmetrical position of a baby, which is extremely important in case of the newborns.
Ring sling and breastfeeding
Basically, we do not recommend breastfeeding in the wrap. But you can use the ring sling as a cover and give you some secrecy. It also allows you to obtain the cross cradle hold in such a way that the wrap holds the baby and unburden the nursing mother.
