Sling bag: Is it dangerous or safe to a newborn baby

Hi Poch3ng, I think it is pretty safe. I used the sling when my girls were babies and I loved them. I never had a problem at all with them. If your baby were not getting enough air, you would notice it. I thought they were perfect for newborns. As the baby got bigger, it hurt my back to use it But if you have a newborn, I would highly reccomend it.

You said new born baby??? no way, I would not buy sling bags and place my new born baby there, it is really dangerous because the spine is soft, the head and neck is soft and baby will never be comfortable to breathe there too. Maybe if the baby will be around 7 months above and we stroll the mall or were riding a bike from here, I can carry that sling bag handy. Your hubby is right, you should think of the position of your baby, just my two cents.

Although the sling bag is based on good theory - this method of carrying a baby has been used by mothers for many thousands of years in some cultures - the design of some modern slings can be dangerous, especially for newborns, who don't normally have the neck muscles or the instincts to turn their heads so that they are able to breathe properly. There are many sites which give guidance on the proper use of sling bags and their advantages and disadvantages.

I hate those. I think if you are so busy that you have to sling the baby in a sack onto your front so you can do things...you shouldn't have had the baby until you had more free time. THen they carry on about holding the baby to much...well, that's what the sling bag does...hold and carry. There are strollers and other kinds of "carriers" for the comfort of the baby and for the use of two hands...I don't see why a baby needs to be slung around like a sack of flour. They even have a back pack that you can strap the baby into so you can go hiking...I am sorry, but a baby doesn't need to be taken on a hike. And the babys head just bounces around like a bobble head on the dash of the car! Isn't good for the little one. A baby required time...and if you can't give it to them for wahtever reason...you need to rethink your decision to have one at this time.

I think that is a hard decision. I chose not to use one of those because I was too worried; however, I do see many other women that use them. I'm not sure if it is safe on unsafe. I would like to think it went through some kind of testing or something before they would release it to the market, but I'm not sure. I'm sure you will make the best decision for you.

I guess it's dangerous if not use in a proper way. But, many people use it so it may be somehow, effective. Just check the position of the baby once in a while.
