Native slings, or pouch slings, are the easy, basic slings. It is a continuous ring of fabric that you wear over your shoulder. Your baby is tucked into the pouch that the fabric makes. You can wear your baby in front of you, on your hip, in a cradle carry, or on your back.
Bella Slings Native Slings are specially designed with an innovative shoulder strip to make putting the sling on simple and hassle-free.
Native
slings are sized according to your body and can be used from newborn until you can't carry your baby around anymore. I love my native slings because they are so small and easy to throw into the diaper bag. When our daughter was smaller the native was great because I could tuck her into the sling and she would sleep and most of the people around me wouldn't even realize I was carrying a sleeping baby around. If you are nursing, native slings are also great with helping you position your baby to nurse, and work great as a cover-up.
Pros: They are quick and easy to slide into and slip your baby into. They are great for quick runs into the grocery store and long walks on the beach. Babies (especially new babies) love the close, tight feeling that the sling gives them.
Cons: Because they are a specific size,
if someone else wants to wear the sling and they aren't the same basic body size as you, it won't fit them correctly. As your baby grows, you may need a different size as well. The weight is all on one shoulder, so if you are carrying your baby for a long time you might need to switch shoulders or carries if your shoulder begins to hurt.

Our native slings' proven strength will give you ease of mind as you enjoy their convenience and comfort. Each seam in our slings has been sewn a minimum of three times with a sewing machine. I have tested my slings using hand weights to just over 100 pounds and they held with no problems at all. You will never have to worry about the safety of your baby sling.
Sizing is very important when ordering your native sling. Please feel free to ask any questions about the sizing questions. I will need your bra size, your t-shirt size, and your shoulder-to-hip measurement - the measurement from the outside of your shoulder to the outside of your opposite hip.
