Are 100% cotton or stretch slings the most comfortable? TOP
This is a great question that I answer often. Honestly, they are both great options, and that is why you will find the different types offered by babe-a-gogo.com Having said that, I think the stretch slings are perfect for beginners because they do have a tiny bit of stretch, which makes it a bit easier to get baby in and out of the pouch. The 100% cotton slings offer a secure hold that cradles baby comfortably.
What is cotton stretch sateen? TOP
Cotton stretch sateen is luxurious and durable fabric with a high thread count that gives it a very soft lustre. It is very smooth and soft to the touch and has just a hint of stretch widthwise, not lengthwise, so it will not bag out or stretch out when you place baby in the sling. I love stretch slings. How are ultimate slings different? TOP
Most other sling companies produce reversible 100% cotton (non-stretch) slings, but few offer a double layer of stretch fabric. Some companies also make reversible slings with one layer of 100% cotton (non-stretch) and one layer of stretch fabric. Such slings do not stretch at all because they are sewn to a non-stretch fabric. Conversely, babe-a-gogo Ultimate slings offer the best of both worlds by providing two layers of comfy stretch and the versatility of two slings in one. What are the features of babe-a-gogo slings? TOP
There are many options and combinations of options for babe-a-gogo slings. There are toy tags, which are great for baby's pacifier or favorite toy. Another option is a secret pocket that is sewn in the seam of a reversible sling - great for stashing items for quick trips. Leg padding is a third option that many people have requested. This helps protect a toddler's tender legs when carried in the upright positions. Lastly, the ultimate slings come with a fashionable and functional shoulder cinch to ensure that the sling stays put on the shoulder. If you have more ideas or special requests, please contact me! Which slings are best for warmer climates? TOP
Slings seem to be quite popular down in Florida and Texas, and I welcome the southern business! Honestly, any of the reversible slings are good choices as they are made from breathable 100% cotton. However, any of the stretch or ultimate slings would also be excellent choices as they are made from cotton or cotton blends as well. I think I ordered the wrong size sling. How can I tell if I have the right size? TOP
For proper comfort and fit, measuring for a pouch sling is absolutely necessary. Still, when the sling arrives, some people may prefer a looser or tighter fit. The sling mimics the curve of the womb, and baby should be snug in the pouch. It should not, however, be extremely difficult to get baby into the pouch with a little practice. If you have tried and tried and cannot get baby into the sling without difficulty, it is too small. On the other hand, if the pouch hangs down several inches below your navel, then it is too big. Ideally, when baby is in the pouch his bottom will rest between your navel and hip. Can I exchange my pouch? TOP
Yes, you may exchange your pouch for another size of the same print within 14 days of its receipt. Please enclose the original packing slip, a note indicating the size sling you would like, and $6.00 for return shipping. Please allow up to 2 weeks for exchanges. I am planning on breastfeeding. Can I nurse while wearing a pouch sling? TOP
Yes. Pouch slings were very useful to me after I returned to work and had to get ready in the morning and nurse my little one. I looked into finding different positions for doing this, and I think that it does take a bit of practice to find what is right for you and your baby. However, it is definitely a lifesaver of a skill when mastered. Here is a link for helpful information on nursing and slings: www.kellymom.com I have a toddler and a newborn and would like to use the same sling for both. Is this possible? TOP
Yes. The sling is based on your measurements, not the baby's. When baby is a newborn, you will carry his entire body in the sling. This requires more fabric. Toddlers prefer to be carried on their mommies' hips. This does not require as much fabric because baby's legs will be hanging down outside the sling. Viola! The pouch can be used for both babes and for many years! What makes babe-a-gogo slings different from others on the market? TOP
