What is the MamaBaby Sling?
The MamaBaby is a sling made of 100% cotton interlock fabric which is buttery soft and stretchy. The rings are made of durable, strong, heat-resistant nylon. It is machine washable and dryable. The MamaBaby Sling works well when worn by itself, but really shines when two are worn at once – one on each shoulder.
How does the MamaBaby sling work?
One MamaBaby sling can used in all of the same carries as other slings. For newborns, two MamaBaby slings can be worn with the rings down by your hips. Baby can then be worn up high just as you naturally carry her /him. Older children can be very comfortably worn on your back by using two MamaBabies to give you better weight distribution.
 What size should my child be to use the MamaBaby sling?
The MamaBaby sling works well with infants all the way up to toddlers. 
Why should I use two MamaBaby slings together?
Wearing two MamaBabyslings together distributes the baby's weight over both shoulders. When you wear a heavy child for a long period of time, you will really appreciate this. A second sling allows you to securely wear your child in positions that are not practical with one sling.
What colors are available?
The MamaBaby Sling is available in Blue, Black and Natural. All are 100% cotton, and very soft.
What sizes are available for the MamaBaby Sling?
The MamaBaby Sling comes in two sizes. The standard size is about 76 inches long. It is generous enough in length to fit larger sized users. The smaller size is about 67 inches long and is for the shorter and more petite user. Up to one foot of shrinkage may occur with machine drying: the sling has been sized to allow for such shrinkage for the majority of wearers. If you wish to prevent shrinkage, we recommend line drying out of the sunlight.

|
Buttery soft, 100% cotton, interlock, with a beautiful drape. It is currently available in black, navy or natural. |
| Shoulder |
Pleated. The top flap unfolds to perfectly cap your shoulder and hold your sling in place. Weight distribution is excellent with minimal restriction of your arm. |
Fan style. Leave the edges unfolded or fold them up to maximize arm mobility. Weight distribution is excellent. |
| Rings |
Metal rings which grip the fabric well but still allow easy adjustment for a perfect fit. |
Nylon rings which have a very tight grip on the fabric. The stretchiness of the MamaBaby Sling makes fine tuning adjustments unnecessary. |
| Positions |
Wear your newborn reclining or tummy to tummy. Babies with head control may be worn in front or on your hips. Toddlers older than about one year may also be worn on your back. |
Wear your baby in the same positions as the Maya Wrap. Wearing two MamaBabies, one over each shoulder, allows even greater versatility. |
