Verb.
To carry a
premature baby
skin
to skin against the
chest
under
clothing
. Based on findings in
Columbia
in the
1970s
that noted increased
health
and
survival
rates among premature infants using this technique, as the babys stabilized their
temperature
,
breathing
, and
heart rate
s by being in constant
contact
with their
mother
.
Noun.
Forward facing method of carrying a
baby
in a
sling
, which gets its name from the
position
's
similarity
to a
joey
in a mother
kangaroo
's
pouch
. The baby must be capable of holding his or her own
head
up before you try this.
Place sling on either
shoulder
in standard position (
shoulder pad
or
pillow
cushioning one shoulder, and the rings or
knot
high on the
chest
.
Pull the closest sling
rail
(the one against your
stomach
) to mid-chest.
Hold
your baby facing away from you against your chest and the sling rail.
(You may need
assistance
here) Pull the other sling rail away from you, creating a pouch, and drop the child into it.
You will probably need to
cross
your baby's legs a little bit.
If you need to adjust the
tail
of the sling, support your baby's
bottom
.
(Optional) You can place your baby's
elbow
along the outer rail, as if he or she is leisurely sitting in the
cab
of a
truck
and about to make a
turn signal
. I don't know if this is more
comfortable
for your
wee bairn
, but it looks
cute as hell
.
