Bubbaboo Slings baby & you

The special design of the Bubbaboo Slings provides new born babies with a safe
and comfortable environment while allowing you the flexibility to have both
hands free.

Bubbaboo Slings promote bonding for you and your baby and are exceptionally good
for calming your baby and inducing sleep. Placing baby into the newborn sling position
will help settled your baby together with the soothing gentle sounds and motions
from you. The newborn sling position is great for fussy/colic babies.

Bubbaboo Slings are designed to ensure even weight distribution across your
back and shoulders, which also promotes correct posture when carrying your child.
Your entire upper body is carrying your baby so your arms never get tired.

Bubbaboo Slings positions:
• Newborn cradle – perfect for settling fussy baby and breastfeeding
• Hip sit – great for when out and about
• Tummy to tummy – excellent for bonding and face to face interaction
• Back carry (1 year over only) – fun for baby
