Photo from mammapappalam.se<\/p><\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"Beskr\">A five-meter long jersey shawl is tied around the parent. The baby is placed inside the shawl and pressed firmly against the parent\u2019s chest. The solution leaves the user\u2019s arms free and enables to move together with the child. The sling works for newborns until the baby no longer fits on the parent\u2019s lap, facing the parent. The length of the sling can be adjusted and as the baby grows, the sling can be loosened to allow the baby\u2019s weight to rest on the parent\u2019s lap.<\/p>\n<p>Model: Elastic baby sling Looma Sino.<\/p>\n<p>For instructions in Swedish on how to tie an elastic baby sling, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yzT96VLi7dU&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">youtube.com\/watch?v=yzT96VLi7dU&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/a>, (last checked December 2020).<\/p>\n<p class=\"bkom\"><strong>Users comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThe sling works like an extra pair of arms. I tie the shawl on in the morning and then leave it on during the day. By using the shawl I can move around without being afraid of dropping the baby. Since the baby is pressed against my body, it doesn\u2019t get heavy even though I have reduced trunk function. When we go out the baby lies inside the shawl under my jacket, with a cap on her head as the only outer garment. Nothing else is needed to keep her warm even in winter. People usually say that an elastic sling only works when the baby is small and that you have to switch to a fixed sling, but I used it until my daughter was 1.5 years old and didn\u2019t fit facing me in my arms anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Inkopstallet\"><strong>Purchased from<\/strong><br \/>\nPurchased used online, but it is available in well-stocked baby shops and online stores<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nThe user<\/p>\n<p class=\"rkom\"><strong>Editors comments<\/strong><br \/>\nThis tip is from <a href=\"http:\/\/mammapappalam.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mammapappalam.se<\/a> (last checked December 2020).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ordinary elastic baby sling works well for a person sitting in a wheelchair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":54603,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[352,455,353],"tags":[465],"class_list":["post-3531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-about-carrying-babies-52","category-tips-about-moving-around-in-wheelchair-together-with-smal-children-155","category-tips-about-security-53","tag-authors_v6","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/1531_100_1_600.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/100"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3531"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254279,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3531\/revisions\/254279"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spinalistips.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
