CPSC Proclaims Alert For Parents Regarding Sling Baby Carriers



As many of you have almost certainly already heard, the CPSC has declared a warning to parents and how they manage their newborns in their baby sling. |A little over a week ago, the CPSC released a caution for parents to use care while handling their newborns in child slings.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission urged parents to "be cautious when using infant slings for babies younger than four months of age." They also urged parents of tiny infants, twins, and infants in poor health to consult their pediatrician before using a sling with their infant. "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 infant slings are being inspected from the past 20 years by the CPSC, including three in 2009. Children younger than 4 months are the highest risk group as 12 deaths involving baby slings over the past 20 years involve babies in this age group. The vast majority of these deaths involved a low birth weight twin, breathing issues, or were born prematurely.

Two particular hazards to your newborn are innate with infant slings. In the first several months of life, children cannot control their heads because their neck muscles are not yet fully developed. The baby sling carrier fabric can obstruct the infant's nose and mouth, interfering with the baby's breathing and resulting in accelerated suffocation. Also, keeping your child in a curled position is asking for trouble. This blocks the airway by bending the chin towards their chest and can limit the oxygen supply. Your baby won't be able to cry and could potentially suffocate. The CPSC always recommends that parents utilizing 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!
