*** We have changed our name!***** Formerly Pura Vida Slings, we've updated our brand name to Nalakai (the names of my two children).
Using a ring sling is the best way to bond with your baby and keep her close to you. I explain everything you need to know to wear your baby safely and comfortably in the sling.
It might take a little practice, but be patient, because once you get the technique down, ring slings are the easiest baby carrier to use.
NALAKAI Slings are made from super soft and durable bamboo and linen. We keep you and your baby safe and comfortable. Our ring slings are inspired by paradise and made with love.
Nalakai Slings are available on Amazon! Just go to this link: bit.ly/NALAKAIS...

I love how this looks so much easier than it actually is 🤣 I tried it with my 2 week old and it was like wrangling an alligator. By the end we were both sweating and had to get out of it. I’m new to the ring sling. I’ve used other carriers for years but not the ring sling. I hope we get better. 🤣 thank you for the video. I love the neck rest idea! So neat.

@Nalakai 5 лет назад

Hey mama! My daughter is 6 weeks old in this video. I started wearing her at 1 week old, so she's used to the sling. The more you use it, the more relaxed you will both be. Try putting the sling on right after nursing or when you're outside in your yard, etc. Some time when your little one is nice and relaxed and happy. All the best! xoxo

I really appreciate the tips of how to measure for an infant and toddler. As new moms every little comfort tip helps. You are very nurturing. I am all about "original" motherhood. I will watch this often to help me position my baby properly. Thank you.

I ordered this on amazon. I did a lot of research before the purchase and felt like this would be the best for my baby (5 weeks). I was eager to use but was lost on how to use the sling. I am thankful for this video to show me how to use the sling. I am scared that I may not be using this right. A part is said not to let your baby sit on their ankles. I don’t think my son is, but I’m also worried he may be. I wish if there was a video to show how their feet should rest within the sling.

@Nalakai 5 лет назад

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for your support. You want your son’s legs in an M position, so his ankles should ideally be just out from under his bum. Some infants will naturally tuck their legs in a bit more. This is ok, as long as his weight is in his bum, and not his ankles. When he is in the sling, you can support his back and lean forward. This will put his weight into his bum. And don’t worry, he will let you know if he’s uncomfortable ❤️ I will be adding another newborn tutorial soon and I really appreciate your suggestion. Thanks! Anne

I have trouble keeping the ring in place while tightening the sling with my 5 month old. Once I get him in place, however, the sling (not the rings) slowly lowers down until he's sitting well beyond my "kissing level." He also ends up leaning away from me. How do I stop both of these issues? I'm afraid to cut off circulation if I tighten it around his legs more!

How would you do for a 3 month old baby I feel so lost how there supposed to lay

@Nalakai 2 года назад

Hi momma! My daughter is 6 weeks old in this video. For a 3 month old baby I suggest wearing your little one with their legs outside of the sling, but in the same upright position that I show in this video, the front carry. I also have a video called Ring Sling Troubleshooting and How to Get a Deep Seat that I think you would find helpful. Thanks so much! Anne

@brittanyobrien3123 5 лет назад

So excited to receive my sling in the mail! How long can babies be worn with their feet in the sling? My LO is almost 8 weeks, and I’m wondering when to transition from feet in to feet out? Thanks! :)

@Nalakai 5 лет назад

Hi Brittany! I hope you love your sling! How long you wear your baby with legs in depends more on the size and weight of your baby, not so much the age. My daughter Nala was a small and skinny baby, so I wore her with legs in until she was 6 months old. I definitely find legs in more comfortable for newborns. Your baby will let you know if he or she starts to get uncomfortable with legs in. Basically, when your baby has thicker, stronger and fatter legs its a good time to try legs out. And you can always message me if you have questions at info@puravidaslings.com - All the best! Anne

@melanierice8588 4 года назад

Thank you for the video! (Awesome tats btw). I did have a question though - once you put the/ a newborn baby in, are you also tucking the fabric under the feet? It would make sense but I'm a total novice and practicing on a baby doll for now until she decides what her birthday wants to be :)

@georgerhodes7467 4 года назад

Hi Mel! With newborns, yes I like to wear them with their legs inside the sling. So you make a pocket with the bottom of the sling folding it up. When you lower your baby in, you let’s their legs naturally froggy. And you want the lower fabric down the baby’s back, around their bum and legs and up between you to your baby’s belly button 💗

@tater_chip_ Год назад

I bought the moby and i hate it! It worked great as a newborn but now hes a chunky 13 lbs 2 month old and the cloth is already overstretched. Hard to get a tight hold with all the crossing you have to do. I'm a plus size mom with a big belly so it's so hard to get it right.

@Nalakai Год назад

Hi Kristell! Our ring slings are made from woven bamboo and linen so they don’t stretch like a Moby, the fabric is much stronger. We also have longer length ring slings that we made just for our gorgeous plus size mamas and babywearing Dads 💗

@mjt889 5 лет назад

Hi Anne! Thanks for this video. I have a 15m old and am going to have a newborn soon, so I'm really wanting to be confident with this newborn carry before he's here! I've carried the 15m old in a sling, maybe starting when he was around 5m, but I'm really nervous about carrying a newborn because of their lack of head support. Do you have any additional tips on head positions to make sure their airway is 100% open? I know I'll be able to see/hear him breathing, but it still makes me a little apprehensive!!

@Nalakai 5 лет назад

Hi Melissa! Have you seen our other video with newborn tips and tricks? The best way to give a newborn head support is to pull the top rail up to the top of your baby's head, then twist the tail fabric, pull it across the sling under your baby's neck and fold the top rail over the tail fabric. That gives a great pillow for your baby and keeps the top rail from shifting too high over your baby's head. I started wearing my daughter when she was 5 days old and that always worked great for us. And using the sling around the house will be a lifesaver with two young kiddos! All the best! Anne

What type of material is this? Is it stretchy?

@xyriusd832 4 года назад

I wish I knew too. The sling I have is so hard and thick the fabric can barely get pulled through the rings to tighten. It's a nightmare. This one looks soft, thin, and stretchy...

@poppythrift22 4 года назад

I ended up buying the moby ring sling. It’s thicker material but with enough pull it get good and tight. Baby always feels secure and I never have issues with him slipping.

You dont look very hands free. You keep holding her head and butt up. Is that normal? I dont want something I have to hold the baby the whole time.

@Nalakai 6 лет назад

Keyonna Naughty hi there! I am not actually holding her weight when I touch her head or bum, I’m just touching her because she’s my daughter and I like to snuggle. Also, I’m not a professional actor, I get nervous making these videos so I move a lot! You are absolutely hands free when you use a ring sling. You can see more in my other videos. If you’re worried about getting the right support, please watch our video called Ring Sling Troubleshooting and Getting a Deep Seat. Thanks for watching and all the best! Anne

@yzakhare 6 лет назад

Omg i have a baby i dont have time to figure this out!! And is this even safe?

@Nalakai 6 лет назад

Свет Демагогии hi there! Of course ring slings are safe! They have been used as baby carriers by indigenous women for many centuries. And actually slings are very simple to use. It takes a little practice to find the perfect position, but once you get it right, it takes less than a minute to get your baby comfortable in a sling. We are also proud members of the Baby Carriers Industry Alliance and we comply with all relevant safety standards, the CPSIA 2008 and the ASTM Standards. If you would like any advice on how to use a ring sling, I am happy to help. Of course, if it’s not for you, there are many other types of carriers you can use. All the best!

@yzakhare 6 лет назад
