Baby sling

A baby sling or baby carrier is a cloth device, usually of adjustable length, used to carry a baby securely against the carrier's body. Slings have been used for millennia. They are usually made of soft fabric, and wrap around the carrier's chest.

Slings provide comfort and support for the baby and allow the parent or carer to keep their hands free as they go about their everyday tasks.
