Baby Slings Can Be Harmful to Baby Safety
The Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to issue warnings about the use of baby slings as they have had deaths attributed to smother of infants while in the carrier. The danger occurs when the baby falls into a “chin-to-chest” position. The baby curls and can obstruct its own breathing in such a position.
Baby safety is more assured when the baby is in a sling in an upright position facing the parent with their belly toward the parent. Very small infants in the soft fabric slings are the greatest risk. The safety commission has yet to issue the warnings or to identify the slings that are the most hazardous. We will try to keep updated on this warning.
Just what I was waiting for! I was searching articles for our blog when I came across your post (on Baby Slings Can Be Harmful to Baby Safety | Like My Prices – Baby Safety Information) which I noticed on AOL. We would love you to write for us, if interested. I’ve bookmarked this post for future reference. Nice comments here as well – Cheers from Family Guidebook
