How to Wear a Boppy Baby Sling

For centuries, parents have used slings to carry their babies, not only because they could go about their daily routines, but also because their little ones seemed more content. The practice has gained a new following with the advent of the Attachment Parenting movement, which espouses "babywearing" to form and nurture "strong connections between parents and their children," according to Attachment Parenting International.
Many slings and baby carriers are available to make babywearing comfortable and practical. The Boppy Carry in Comfort Dual Support Sling allows a parent to carry a baby weighing five to 20 pounds.
