Award winning, UK made Lifft slings are a uniquely designed pouch sling, which have been recommended by numerous health professionals, and even celebrities like Cerys Matthews have raved about the it! When I tried it for myself, I could understand why. I was able to comfortably carry my 2 year old on a two hour shopping trip with no signs of shoulder ache, a feat my other pouch slings had not achieved.
So, why are Lifft slings so comfortable? Well, first and foremost, Lifft slings are the only slings to be scientifically proven to improve your posture. This is important after giving birth, because your tummy muscles are softened and don't support your spine as well as usual. The sling holds your baby at your centre of gravity, which encourages you to stand up straight, and because of the supportive pouch there is no need need to 'kick' out your hip to hold your baby there, as you would need to do if carrying her without a sling.
The fabric is really soft and breathable. It is smooth and cool to touch, with a soft sheen appearance, and it's double lining means it feels warm in cold weather, yet cool in the heat. It has no buckles, rings or knots, so there is no possibility of pressure points.
The shape of the sling also contributes to it's ultra comfy feel. It is wide across the shoulder and back, spreading baby's weight evenly. It has a special stretch panel at the front, which provides extra flexibility and ensures baby feels secure. It is also curved to create a roomy pouch to position baby's bottom comfortably. There are padded rails, but unlike many brands which only have padded bottom rails, this sling has both the top and bottom rail padded. This protects a baby's arms, legs and neck, ensuring they are comfortable in any carrying position.
As well as being comfortable, it is also really easy to use. With my toddler it was important that I could pop her in and out quickly, as she's at that 'let me down, I can walk/pick me up mummy I'm tired' stage, and with the Lifft sling I had no trouble.
But the Lifft sling is still brilliant for newborns, as it keeps your baby in a natural cradle position and doesn't put pressure on a babies developing spine like some high street frontpacks can. This is important because the newborn pelvis is still developing, and good positioning contributes to a good posture as baby grows.
