Over the Shoulder Baby Holder
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."

"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."

"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."

"At
our Family Center we recommend Over the Shoulder Baby Holders to

their infants and toddlers."

"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.
We have sold this sling for several years and find the quality
exceptional. It is comfortable to wear even in the case of
chronic upper back and neck pain and is particularly helpful for
settling baby after feedings."

"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."

"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."

Liedloff, Author, The Continuum Concept
"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. About 25% of our
sling sales come from customers who have a different brand sling
which does not fit."

Deborah Ehrhardt, BA, IBCLC
"My clients
frequently describe their Over the Shoulder Baby Holders as "A
Lifesaver"--particularly for the colicky baby."

"We would recommend
the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder in a heartbeat. We found it to
be the most natural, secure and loving way to carry a baby
outside the womb."

"I am a midwife and
I recommend the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder to all my clients.
If I could receive only one baby gift, I would make it an Over
