Could you tell me a bit about yourself and how Oysterbaby came about?
As a practicing midwife I am well educated in the benefits of baby wearing, my knowledge combined with my experience as a mother I was inspired to design a sling that would be practical and comfortable. A sling that would encourage all mums to wear their babies, to feel gorgeous, empowered and enjoy their calmer, happier babies.
There are quite a lot of slings available on the market, what makes yours different?
Oysterbaby slings are the only slings on the market made from 100% organic bamboo fabric. The colours and designs are all unique and limited in edition, ensuring they maintain their boutique attraction.
Oysterbaby slings combine fashion with practicality, believing all mums can look and feel great when carrying their baby.
Oyserbaby is completely unique, All the designs are limited editions, they are reversible so you get to change your style daily and they are incredibly comfortable for both mum and baby. Oysterbaby slings are designed to be lightweight so you wear your baby close to your skin and layer clothes over the top. The fabric and designs i use are like no other slings on the market.
Did you use the sling with your own child?
Yes! My daughter is the original oysterbaby! I carried her in the sling from the day she was born, she is 15 months now and I still carry her everyday, she loves it. We traveled to Africa when she was 4 months old, and we are about to travel to Sri Lanka, we could not dream of having these adventures without an oysterbaby!
What are the benefits of wearing a sling over something like a Baby Bjorn carrier?
Unlike other slings, Oysterbaby is chiropractic endorsed ensuring spinal health for both you and your baby.
Oysterbaby carries your baby ergonomically - which helps correct hip development without putting pressure to baby's spine or pelvis. It helps muscle development and prevents flat head syndrome.
The sling distributes your baby's weight evenly over both shoulders and entire torso, making your baby feel feather light and does not cause any shoulder or back discomfort. In contrast to other baby carriers that have thin straps that dig into the shoulders.
Unlike other slings, It is also possible to comfortably and discretely breastfeed your newborn baby in an oysterbaby!
Bamboo fabric is more breathable than cotton, making it very comfortable to wear. And perfect next to your precious newborn baby’s skin.
Why Bamboo?
Bamboo fabric is cashmere soft, naturally anti-bacterial, UV protecting and hypoallergenic. It is thermo regulating so keeps your baby warm in the cold weather and cool in the warm weather, making it the perfect choice for your baby.
Bamboo produces the only true eco-friendly textile material. It is 100% biodegradable and takes in five times the volume of green house gasses and releases 35% more oxygen than cotton.
Bamboo is extremely fast growing and can grow up up to three feet a day.
And unlike cotton it needs no replanting, pesticides or fertilizers. Bamboo is cut not uprooted, helping soil stability, sustaining riverbanks and reducing water pollution.
Can you share the main benefits of babywearing.
Keeping your baby close to you regulates your baby’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature. It promotes breastfeeding and weight gain. Evidence shows improvement in reflux, colic and other discomfort caused by digestive problems such as wind. Oysterbaby allows you to be completely hands free with the reassurance that your baby is safe and secure next to you.
Studies show babies cry less, sleep more and show faster cognitive development when compared to babies who are not carried in a sling.
How safe are the slings? Is there any risk of your baby falling out or the sling coming undone?
Oysterbaby is completely safe to use, all slings are provided with a clear illustrated manual showing you how to safely carry your baby. Your baby is carried securely next you, with no danger of any buckles or straps breaking!
So I've got my Oysterbaby sling ready for little muffin's arrival and I'll be testing it out for myself and letting you know how I get on now that I feel rest assured that it is a very safe option ;-).
