Masih ramai lagi yang kalau outing dengan family bawak anak kecil dan dukung anak sambil jalan-jalan. Dart terfikir tak lenguh ka korang? Tapi tak dinafikan jugak sekarang ni dah ramai yang outing bawak baby carrier dan baby sling or anything yang boleh baby wearing. Bagi Dart, baby carrier or sling is a must!! Wajib!! Untuk parent yang suka berjalan, memang disarankan la selain kita ada stroller, kita juga perlu ada carrier supaya bukan apa, takla masa kita kat luar tu terjejas. Kalau tidak nak melayankan anak menangis meraung, last-last tak jadi shopping terus balik rumah. Rugi rugi.
Satu lagi, baby carrier ni penting kalau nak ke tempat-tempat crowded, tak ke mengganggu nak tolak stroller bagai. Tak pun , kalau kita nak jalan-jalan naik public transport, kita tak perlu bawak strolller, just pakai carrier dan bawak baby tanpa perlu berasak nak jjugak masukkan stroller ke dalam LRT etc.
Stroller dan baby carrier/sling ni memang mempunya fungsi yang totally different! Punca utama Dart cari baby sling sebab anak dah masuk dua, stroller pulak jenis single, bukan tandem. Kalau keluar, sorang tidur dalam stroller, sorang lagi nak letak mana? Tidur dalam dakapanku la jawabnya haha. Nak dukung lama-lama pun sangat lenguh tangan woi. Kalau ada carrier/sling at least beban load baby tu tak sepenuhnya di tangan kita. Divert ke bahu plak. hehe
Apa beza carrier dengan sling pulak? Baby carrier ni macam ala-ala beg galas. Kita galas di ke dua-dua belah bahu kita. Sling pulak sebelah bahu ja yang akan menampung beban. Komfomlah baby carrier kurang terasa load baby untuk jangka masa yang panjang.
Why i chose Baby Sling?
Firstly, Dart suka tengok macam cool aja hewhew takleh blah.
Point paling penting sebab Dart nak baringkan anak bila dia tidur or menyusu. Kelebihan sling ni sambil jalan kalau baby dah terlentok, kita boleh terus baringkan dia. trust me hannah pernah tidur dalam sling tu 2-3 jam masa Dart keluar jalan-jalan. Kalau baby carrier baby tidur secara duduk. Tapi ok ja kalau carrier yang betul betul ergonomik. Menyusu pulak sambil jalandaaa pon buleh kalau pakai sling.
Ada juga baby sling yang dipanggil baby sling bag yang boleh bagi baby baring dalam tu tapi AWAS! Tidak disaranka kerana ada kes kematian dalam baby bag sebab baby lemas dalam tu. Lemas sebab apa pi google balik.
Never use a bag sling. A bag sling is one shaped like a bag with a narrow strap – see the diagram. The baby cannot be placed in a safe position and can suffocate. One brand (Infantino) has been recalled following three deaths of babies in the US, but any sling of this design is unsafe.
Never use products that allow the baby to lie with a curved spine – these are described as ‘womb-like’, or a ‘cocoon’, or placing the baby in a ‘foetal position’. These place the baby in a dangerous position with a curved back which folds the windpipe and blocks the airway. A foetus doesn’t need a straight back to breathe – a baby does.

Dont worry. Baba luna sling takkan bagi anak kita dalam keadaan "curve" dan melemaskan anak.
Rata-rata bila orang pakai baby carrier nampak macam kaki baby tergantung ke bawah. Macam sakitnya dia nampak. Kalau carrier yang betul-betul
What is a safe position for a baby who is being worn?
A baby, when being picked up, will pull the legs up in the correct position which will place the hip joint into the socket in a perfect position to ensure correct hardening of the cartilage present the first few month after birth. This position is called squatting straddle position or wrongly called frog leg position.
A good baby carrier will always ensure this healthy hip/leg position for the baby.

From the IHDI "The most unhealthy position for the hips during infancy is when the legs are held in extension with the hips and knees straight and the legs brought together, which is the opposite of the fetal position. The risk to the hips is greater when this unhealthy position is maintained for a long time. Healthy hip positioning avoids positions that may cause or contribute to development of hip dysplasia or dislocation. The healthiest position for the hips is for the hips to fall or spread (naturally) apart to the side, with the thighs supported and the hips and knees bent. This position has been called the jockey position, straddle position, frog position, spread-squat position or human position. Free movement of the hips without forcing them together promotes natural hip development."
Ha...kalau nak cari baby carrier yang betul-betul meet straddle postition ni mahai la kan. Macam Ergobaby, Boba etc.
Kalau taknak spend lagi boleh la cari baby sling. Ada macam-macam jenis. Nak ikan sendiri macam bibik pon ada hahhaha pakai kain batik ja sonang.
Untuk baba sling,
Macam-macam position boleh bagi baby kita duduk. lagi satu yang best pasal sling ni, kita boleh terus pusing baby kita dari facing forward ke facing ke arah kita on da spot tanpa perlu bukak sling tu. Sebab Hannah kadang-kadang dia boring asyik facing ammi dia ja, dia teus menggelupur jadi ammi faham la dia boring dan trus boleh tukarkan dan pusing badan dia ke arah depan. Kalau dia boring jugak boleh ubah letak ke sisi pinggang kita pulak. Sangat senang.
Jangan risau kain baba luna ni 100% cotton, jadi tak panas tak sejuk sangat. Hannah tak pernah la pulak lemas dalam tu. Sangat-sangat reccomended.
Happy babywearing!
