Chita vermelha baby sling

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

I've worn my youngest daughter in a sling since she was about two weeks old. Because she was a "high-need" baby and took very short naps during the day, the sling was extremely important for both of us: i could carry her all the time that she wanted and still keep my sanity. She's 9 months old now and a very hapy and active baby, but she still loves the sling.

Most of my pouch slings are made from african wax print fabrics or "chita", a traditional Portuguese fabric usually printed with bold floral patterns (100% cotton).
