Scarf Sling

In the most diverse countries of our planet, women have long invented various ways to carry young children. In those days, when there were no wheelchairs, women carried babies in special devices that made it possible not to break away from everyday worries. At the same time, the child felt safe next to his mother, inhaled her scent, listened to her heartbeat, as he did for 9 months in the womb. In addition, the baby always had access to her mother's breast. Now such devices are called slings.

Sling-scarf is a fabric, about 5 m long, about 70 cm wide, designed for carrying children. The scarf does not have to stretch at length, but it is imperative that it stretches diagonally and in width, which is achieved by a special interweaving of strong threads.

• Versatile. Such a sling can be used from the very birth of the child as long as the child asks for pens. In this case, only the windings change, from the “cradle” for the newborn, to any convenient winding for older children.
• Safe and physiologically sound. It is the sling-scarf that is best able to fix the child on the mother, as it is well distributed over the back and attracts it from all sides, provides support for the child’s head and perfectly removes the load from the spine of an adult.
• Allows mom to be mobile. No matter how comfortable and easy the stroller is, it still is an additional burden on the mother when you need to pull her down the stairs. In addition, not everywhere you can go with a stroller. For example, in some shops, pharmacies, children's clinic. In this case, it helps the sling-scarf. While the child is in a sling, the mother can do household chores, such as cooking, cleaning the room, hanging out the washed clothes. At the same time, the child is calm, receives so much of his mother's necessary for him at first warmly and quickly adapts to the world.
• Incredibly beautiful. There are many different colors of sling-scarves that can be matched in color to the clothes, which will allow the mother to look stylish and irresistible, feminine and touching.

The disadvantages of the sling-scarf include the following:

• it is necessary to train in order to learn how to wind the sling correctly;
• skill is needed to put the sleeping child out of the sling into bed;
• Difficulties in bandaging the scarf on the street, since the ends will touch the ground.

It is convenient to start baby wear with a knitted scarf. It is easy to adjust, pull. It is very pleasant to the touch and soft. However, as the child grows and its weight increases, the knitwear, stretching, will begin to sag. The fragile spine of the baby will be forced to maintain the desired shape, which is fraught with curvature.

A great option for a weak baby's spine is sling scarf made from natural linen and cotton fabrics. Such a scarf will fit the back of the child tightly and the whole load will be transferred to the canvas. Excessive stiffness of these fabrics will disappear after several washes.

Thanks to the double diagonal (twill) weaving, the scarf stretches well only diagonally. Scarves with such weaving are the most versatile option., because they do not stretch, unlike knitwear, and perfectly fix the child in the required position.

Long sling scarf (to 550 cm) will be suitable for the most various ways of winding. A sling of great length is comfortable to wear on two shoulders, then all the baby is distributed evenly on both sides.

Medium Length Scarves (up to 390 cm) can be worn on one and two shoulders.

Short scarf (an average of 270 cm) is worn only in a certain way, through one shoulder. Despite the limited number of windings, the sling-scarf has several undeniable advantages:

• compactness;
• can be used not for its intended purpose, but as a cape or a duvet for a sleeping baby;
• it is convenient to rewind the scarf, without sweeping the floor;
• easier to master and not get confused in the limitless amount of fabric.

The size of the sling scarf is its length. The size must be selected in accordance with the parent’s equipment.

For women of medium size (44-46), fit 6 size of a scarf, the length of which is 4.7 m.

For miniature moms fit size 5 (4.2 m).

For tall moms or moms with sizes larger than 46, a size 7 scarf (5.2 meters) will do.

Mothers with large breasts are also preferable to choose a scarf with a length of at least 5 meters. Long scarves can be used for newborns and toddlers who have not yet walked. Short scarves are more suitable for older children who can walk and who often have to be removed from the scarf and planted back.

Sling color is a very individual matter. Usually the color of the sling-scarf is chosen according to the color of their clothes, since the sling is not just a fabric, but a noticeable, bright part of my mother's wardrobe. However, not everyone has the opportunity to choose a sling-scarf for each element of the wardrobe. Then You can choose a scarf in accordance with the color type women (Summer, Winter, Spring or Autumn). In accordance with the shade of the skin, eyes and hair, a very specific color palette fits a woman.

In the heat, it is also better to use scarves of light shades.

The most ideal winding sling-scarf for a newborn baby - "cradle". In addition, this winding does not require special skills. It is necessary to fold the scarf in half, make ends for the shoulders so that there is space for the pocket in front. Cross the ends behind to bring the hands forward and tie a knot at the waist.

One of the most common, simple and convenient windings is the “Cross over pocket”.You need to attach the middle of the scarf to the stomach and straighten it. Then take the straightened ends behind your back, without twisting the scarf, and throw them on the opposite shoulders. At the same time, a “pocket” is formed, and a cross behind it. It is necessary to put the child in the "pocket", gently pulling him down from the shoulder. Hold the cloths of the sling under the baby's legs crosswise, tie the ends at the back at the waist.

The same winding can be used for newborns. At the same time, it is necessary to place the child in a pocket not vertically, but horizontally, putting it in a “crib”. Then, from the side of the child’s head, take the end of the scarf and stretch it under the body of the crumbs. Also hold the second end under the back and tie both ends to the back.
