Re: Ring slings for newborns
Another anti-cradle hold for anything but active nursing. I actually think any responsible ring sling maker should flat out state NOT to use the cradle hold with newborns.
Otherwise, I think the upright, tummy to tummy hold in a ring sling does an excellent job of mimicing the womb and calming newborns. The baby's head is right below your chin, they are breathing with you - very safe IMO
