CPSC Issues Caution For Parents About Sling Infant Carriers



As many of you have most likely heard, the CPSC has issued a notification to parents and how they manage their newborns in their baby sling. |A little over a week ago, the CPSC issued a warning for parents to use care while handling their newborns in child slings.

The company warned parents to "be cautious when using infant slings for babies younger than four months of age." It also urged parents of preemies, twins, babies in fragile health and those of low weights to use additional care and consult their pediatricians about utilizing slings. "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.

The CPSC is investigating at least 14 fatalities over the past 20 years associated with sling-style child carriers, including 3 fatalities in 2009. Twelve of the fatalities involved children younger than four months of age. Many of the babies who died in slings were either a low birth weight twin, were born prematurely, or had breathing issues.

Slings can pose 2 different types of suffocation hazards to infants. In the first few months of life, babies have difficulty controlling their heads because their neck muscles are not yet fully developed. The baby sling carrier material is known to hinder the infant's airways, finally suffocating them within a couple of minutes. Also, keeping your child in a curled position is asking for trouble. This restricts the airway by bending the chin onto their chest and can limit the oxygen supply. The baby will not be able to cry for help and could gradually suffocate. The CPSC has recommended that parents and caregivers make sure the baby's face is not covered and can be seen at all times by the sling's wearer. In short, please be careful before using your baby sling and read the directions!
