We've featured several baby slings here on Hippyshopper but that's because, in my opinion, it's the easiest and safest way to carry your baby. Not only do you get to maintain that close bond, but your little one is kept safe and cosy, and there is no stress put upon it's delicate body.
These slings by Close are made from soft, luxurious, organic cotton. It's designed to be worn over both shoulders, which reduces the strain on your back, and you can choose from five different carrying positions. It's fully adjustable and will hold your baby securely from birth to around 32lbs. Available in four colours it's £49.50 and comes with a free DVD showing you how to get the most from your new carrier.
