What The Experts Are Saying

"As a long time advocate of attachment style parenting I can not recommend Over the Shoulder Baby Holder enough. It is always the first choice for a new baby gift and among the few necessities for any mom or dad and a new baby. The advantages of the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder are nearly endless. My favorites are: helps regulate baby's body temperature with mom/dad holding baby close, safe, easy on the parents back, versatile, works well for older children too."

"As a Chiropractor, I am constantly getting new mothers with upper and lower back pain from carrying their babies the wrong way (the one-hip prop the most common). The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder really helps to eliminate a lot of these problems. The over the Shoulder Baby Holder also helps the child's posture which will definitely help as the child grows to adulthood."

- Antoinette M. Kotchounian, D.C.

"We have been offering Over the Shoulder Baby Holders At our hospital for almost five years, and have probably sold over a thousand by now. Parents love them, and we are so pleased to see babies arriving at our postpartum support group snuggled to their mothers' chests rather than in a hard plastic carrier. Thank you so much for helping us model the kind of attachment parenting we strongly advocate."

- Becky Krumwiede, RN. IBCLC

"If I can show an expectant mother how to be a better mother , if I can help her bond with her baby and can give her the self-confidence to listen to her heart when it comes to raising her child, then I have done my job whether she breastfeeds for two days or two years. In a nutshell, Over the Shoulder Baby Holders are helping moms breastfeed and stay close to their children."

"The Childbirth Education Program at our hospital recommends the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder to women in our pre/postnatal classes because we believe in the vale of mothers carrying their babies.

"At the Romanian orphanage where I work, infants typically spend more than twenty three hours in a crib. Over the Shoulder Baby Holders make it possible for us to carry a child with us constantly while in team meetings and doing chores. The fact that your design requires the infant to constantly adjust to the movements of the adult provides stimulation for the otherwise grossly delayed motor development."

- Grace Caruso, Ph.D.

"Until babies voluntarily begin to climb off their parents laps, their nature requires that they be in constant human contact, awake and asleep. I can recommend the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder for its comfort and versatility."

"Some of the advantages of the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder that I chose to highlight include: simple design makes for easy on-and-off; when baby falls asleep, it can be easily removed so that baby stays asleep; many carrying positions as baby grows; useful for years, fits newborn through age three; serves as a cover-up for breastfeeding in public so no one's the wiser; more fabric and padding than other brands."

"We recommend only this sling to our clients for the following reasons: we have tried several other companies baby slings and have chosen the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder because of the consistent superior workmanship and the three different sizes.
