CPSC Gives Alert To Parents Concerning Sling Infant Carriers


Chocolate Truth eBook
As many of you have almost certainly already heard, the CPSC has issued a warning to caregivers and how they handle their newborns in their baby sling. |A little over a week ago, the CPSC released a notice for parents to use prudence while handling their newborns in baby slings.

The commission warned parents to "be cautious when using infant slings for babies younger than four months of age." They also urged parents of petite infants, twins, and children in poor health to consult their pediatrician before using a sling with their baby. "We know of too many deaths in these slings and we now know the hazard scenarios for very small babies," said CPSC chair Inez Tenenbaum.

Several fatalities involving child slings are being investigated from the past 20 years by the CPSC, including three in 2009. Infants younger than four months are the highest risk group as 12 deaths involving baby slings over the past 20 years involve babies in this age group. Many of the babies who died in slings were either a low birth weight twin, were born prematurely, or had breathing issues.

Two particular hazards to your infant are implicit with baby slings. In the first several months of life, babies cannot control their heads because of their weak neck muscles. The baby sling carrier fabric can obstruct the infant's nose and mouth, interfering with the baby's breathing and leading to rapid suffocation. In addition, when a sling keeps an infant in a curled position bending the chin toward the chest, the airways can be restricted, limiting the oxygen supply. The baby won't be able to cry for help and may slowly suffocate. The CPSC always recommends that parents wearing the baby sling make certain that they can see the infant's exposed face and be sure the baby's face is always visible. In short, please be careful before using your baby sling and read the directions!
