Rings slings are very popular among new and experienced mamas alike, and it’s no surprise why! They are a fantastic option to help free up your hands while still allowing the baby to remain close to your body which is comforting to them. Not to mention, essential for attachment and bonding. below we will discuss everything you need to know about them and tell you which ones are our favorites.
The ultimate guide to sound Slings
Moms are busy and babies always want to be held (especially at the most inconvenient moments), those are just simple facts of life. And, that’s why sound slings are a must-have!
So, what exactly is a sound sling? Well, it’s a long piece of cloth that you wrap around yourself and pull through two rings to tighten making a perfect little pouch for your babe. They have become wildly popular because they are so convenient and the most versatile option when it comes to baby carriers.
While they are similar to baby wraps, make sure you don’t get the two confused because there are some key differences. baby wraps can be connected in many different configurations, which is so nice because you can change the amount of support from different areas of your body. but this can also be a huge pain. You have basically got to do origami every time you put one on, whereas with a sound sling you just slip it over your shoulder and tighten.
This means the sound sling is easy to slip on, but still provides you with that ultimate cuddly closeness which will keep your baby calm and happy. While they have had a recent surge in popularity, moms have been using similar methods to carry their babies around since ancient times. There’s definitely something kind of cool about the connection you feel to moms all around the world and moms from long, long ago by carrying your baby close to you in natural materials. There’s even been research done that carrying your baby this way is part of attachment parenting, which leads to lifelong positive consequences. I always say if something has lasted since ancient times in parenting, it’s well worth checking out.

What to use Them For
These bad boys are great for short stints like the grocery store or cleaning up around the house.
Breastfeeding hands-free! how exciting is that? We know that sometimes mamas with newborns feel like they are feeding all day long making it impossible to accomplish anything else, but just think of all the things you could do if your hands were free. So maybe it’ll just be enough freedom to scroll down your Instagram feed (don’t forget to check us out while you are there) but hey, we support it.
Use them for all ages. This means when you have a young child who wants up and down and up again, you can easily put them in your sound sling and it won’t be too hard to get them back out.
For new babies with reflux or colic, this might be one of the best places for them to nap.
Why to love ‘Em
Versatilidade; newborn babe to a wiggly young child can all fit in the sling with easy adjustment (Hi moms of 2! You can fit either of your kiddos in!)
They make dad duty easy! A lot of carriers fit a specific body type or take a lot of confusing adjustment to switch over making it only convenient for one carrier. The sound sling will fit mom, dad, and whoever else needs to use it with ease.
The leftover material tail doesn’t just make you look super trendy, but actually has multiple uses. You can flip it back over to the front to make a perfect sun shield or nursing cover.
You can make whatever fashion statement you’d like since they come in many different colors and patterns.
They make hip carrying a breeze.
All the cuddles.
The Downsides
They can wear out the one shoulder that supports the babies weight.
Carrying for an prolonged period of time gets harder as your child grows.
You have to be very careful when washing. Hand washing and air drying are best.
