Baby Wraps

Baby wrap tends to be the term reserved for baby slings which are made up of long cuts of fabric, some more stretchy than others, which are used to wrap the baby around your body in a variety of positions.  The fit is very snug and with practice you can find amazingly comfortable positions for you and your baby.  These are one of the most common types of baby carriers to nurse your baby in, another reason for its extraordinary popularity.

Pouch Slings

Pouch slings are simple to wear and offer a couple of positions.  They take the weight off the care taker’s back and with its wide cut of fabric, evenly distributes the baby’s weight across a large area over the shoulder.

Ring Slings

Ring slings are similar to pouch slings in that they have the same fit.  The major difference with ring slings is that they are adjustable, so you don’t have to guess someone’s size when purchasing a gift.
