FREEDOM SLING - BABY CARRIER - MIDWIFE ENDORSED 0 - 3yr

Freedom Slings™

This listing is for our original design and top selling Freedom Sling. The original Freedom Sling is the MOST versatile and easy to use best all round sling you will find.

Available in a choice of colours, it is an adjustable sling that offers 7 different carry positions, hands-free breastfeeding, a handy pocket in the tail and each sling comes with detailed instructions for use.

As the mother of twelve (12) children, I must have seen and tried every type of Baby Carrier on the market, including backpacks, baby pouches, etc. and it took me until the birth of my last baby to find one that meets the needs of both me and my baby.

On First discovering ring slings, my first thought was that how could such a simple piece of fabric work! The simple design of it made me doubt its capabilities, DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS SLING. It took me just one wearing of it with my baby to appreciate that for all its simplicity this sling actually really works!  It is the most comfortable and practical baby carrier I have ever worn and if like me you have your hands full with a baby and toddler it is quite simply the one baby item you really can’t live without.

Hi Margaret, 

I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE this sling, it is extremely easy for me to put on myself and now my little boy can go around the house with me no problems!  Taking my other son (who is 3) to the nursery is now a breeze! I can now change his shoes, take his jacket off and before I leave him I can give him a proper cuddle - with both hands! (He used to only get a strange, half a head cuddle type thing!)  

I also have a daughter (7) and it’s great for me to be able to hold her and my son’s hand when out walking, instead of having my hands on the pushchair.

I also want to say that it’s not only good for breastfeeding, it’s great for bottle feeding too,,,,,,,,as I can now wash, sterilise and make up bottles without my baby screaming from his moses basket.  He is now right up beside me!

I don’t know how I managed with my other two children when I didn’t have this sling….wish I'd discovered it years ago, I might need to have more kids now, so I can get the use out of it!!!

Thanks again, Sharon x 

Hi 

I noticed that you had a gallery for pictures of babbits in their slings.  I thought I would send you a couple pics. of Sophie, who's currently 5 1/2 weeks.  She actually has panic attacks if we dare to put her in her push chair. People here in Grimsby are gob smacked when they see us out and about with it, and she gets loads of attention. My other half has one, as well, and they spent an afternoon asleep together in his chair, without him worrying about dropping her.  And we've also sent one to my brother in the States, who's little one is 2 days younger than Sophie.

I'm starting to think we might get another one soon, for a change of colour. 

Many Thanks, again,

Mel

Sharon Trotter, Midwife, Mother and best selling Author of “Breastfeeding: The Essential Guide” says:

‘I met Margaret at the Glasgow Baby Show in March 2005. She was wearing her 'Freedom Sling' and her gorgeous 10 month old daughter was asleep and cozy. I had been looking for a sling that was easy to use, comfortable for both mother and baby and also allowed free access for breastfeeding. The Freedom sling does all these things and I am more than happy to recommend it to all new mums.

So just what makes this simple sling so special?

The Freedom Sling is designed by a mum with mums (& Dads) in mind.  It is far more versatile, natural and most importantly comfortable for both wearer and baby than conventional carriers. No more straps that cut into your shoulders and put strain on your back because unlike other slings/carriers it spreads the weight of the baby across your back and shoulders. This Freedom Sling is a fully adjustable ring sling and can be used to carry your baby in front, hip, back, reclining, nursing and kangaroo positions. A Freedom Slings instructional CD is included with your sling, making it easy to use from day one and assisting you through all the different carry positions, along with other useful advice and helpful links. The Freedom Sling can be used from Birth to Over Three Years.

The Freedom Sling is so versatile. For extra comfort the top and bottom of the Freedom Sling can be independently adjusted for a perfectly customised fit for both Mum and Dad.

The Freedom Sling is perfect for nursing, as its tail allows for feeding your baby discreetly. 

The size of the Freedom Sling is small enough to allow it to be carried in a changing bag, handbag or glove box and yet still remains quick and easy to put on and take off.

The best part of the sling is as the name suggests FREEDOM your hands are free to get on with other things, especially if your baby is like mine and won't stay in her buggy and constantly wants to be held or if you have a toddler or older children who still require attention when baby is being fed. And that's another thing, most couples can share a sling - I am 5'7" and a UK size 8. My husband is a x-large-framed at 6'3" and we both use the same sling. Please note I can make slings longer or shorter if required at no extra cost. I have made slings for ladies size 32+.  

It is as accommodating for a newborn as it is for an older baby as it allows the baby to lie horizontally across mum to be fed or to sleep. My youngest Saoirse, even at over a year old could still lie and be breastfed or sleep in her Freedom Sling (perfect for when I was out shopping and had a toddler and bags or even a buggy to be attended to).

                                                          From Sitting, to  Fed................                     Sleeping to Bed...............

As can be seen from the above pictures, if your baby becomes hungry or falls asleep in the sling there is no need to remove either the baby or the sling to change position all that is required is a simple one handed adjustment of the rings. If you then need to transfer your baby to either their cot or perhaps car seat, as you can see from above this again is easily done without disturbing your baby, the sling can then be used as a cosy blanket if required.

THIS REALLY IS THE ONLY SLING YOU WILL EVER NEED........ Freedom Slings, the Slings that Grow with your Baby®.(see pics below)
