The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a safety warning about the use of infant slings, particularly in babies under 4 months of age. Watch this video for more information. Not all slings are born the same, so inform yourself about great sling options and the bag-type slings to avoid. And look at the infant position recommendations from the CPSC below to ensure you’re using the sling properly.
See the video at the bottom of the post.

Thank you for posting this. I was upset by the media attack on baby wearing! I loved my Moby when my baby was first born. I also used a locally made Slingling Sling (made here in Seattle) when my baby was smaller. The slingling sling can also be used to wear your baby on your hip when he/she is older. Now I can not live without my Beco for my 23 pound 6 month old baby! He is very happy in it when on my back or on the front. Thanks again for providing correct information about wearing your baby!
