Over the Shoulder Baby Holder (OTSBH) is the perfect way to wear your baby, from birth through toddlerhood (recommended for children weighing between 5 and 39 pounds). This sling is the highest quality, both in terms of comfort and safety for your baby. The OTSBH has two times the amount of padding on the parents' shoulder, and around the baby's head and legs, than most other slings. The flame-resistant batting is paneled or sewn down, preventing slipping inside the seams. This also means the batting stays put, not bunching or twisting when wearing or during washing. The OTSBH has a third ring sewn into the bottom portion of the tail to prevent it from slipping through the rings if worn incorrectly.

The OTSBH allows you to be hands-free while still nurturing your baby. Your baby is near you and comforted by your presence, heartbeat, breathing, voice, and the rhythm of your walking. Being worn in a sling is very similar to the feeling your baby had when in the womb. What a wonderful gift of comfort and security to give your baby!

A randomized controlled test reported in Pediatrics showed that carrying babies in the manner promoted with the OTSBH reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night.

The OTSBH is popular among breastfeeding moms for providing a place both discreet and cozy to nurse. Your baby can breastfeed while in the sling, take a little snooze, and wake up for a snack!

Babes can be cradled in front with the OTSBH and, as they grow, move to the side/hip and even around to the back, all the while supported by the sling. There are many different ways you can position your child in the OTSBH.

Excellent for airline and other travel, it acts as an ideal insulation from unwanted disturbances. The OTSBH promotes comfort and natural body alignment for both baby and wearer, who is using her/his whole body for support instead of just the shoulders or arms and hip. The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder baby sling has padding in three places:

1. In the rail of padding that goes under your newborns head;
2. Alongside their body; (a newborn often needs the extra support of padding to be secure); and,
3. On your shoulder so that you can carry your baby or toddler all day without undue discomfort.

Babies who are worn cry less and are more content. They spend more time in the quiet alert state, which is the optimal state for learning. Babies who are worn experience enhanced learning as well as enhanced social and mental development. Because they are near their parent's face instead of far away in a stroller or bucket seat, babies who are worn see what their parents see.

A study found that 83% of infants who are worn are securely attached to their mothers, while only 38% of infants who are carried in bucket sears are securely attached to their mothers. (Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons)
