CPSC Gives Warning For Parents Concerning Sling Infant Carriers

As many of you have probably already heard, the CPSC has declared a notification to caregivers and how they handle their newborns in their baby sling. |A little over a week ago, the CPSC issued a warning 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." It also urged parents of preemies, twins, babies in fragile health and those of low weights to use additional care and counsel with their pediatricians about using slings. "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.

The CPSC is looking into around 14 fatalities over the past 20 years affiliated with sling-style baby carriers, including 3 deaths in 2009. Children younger than 4 months are the highest risk factor 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.

Slings can pose 2 distinct types of suffocation hazards to infants. In the first several months of life, children have difficulty controlling their heads because of their weak neck muscles. The baby sling carrier material can press against the infant's nose and mouth, inhibiting the baby's breathing and rapidly suffocating a child in just a minute or two. In addition, when a sling keeps an infant in a curled position bending the chin toward the chest, the airways can be restricted, limiting the oxygen supply. Your baby will not be able to cry and could possibly suffocate. The CPSC has recommended that parents and caregivers make definitely sure that the infant's face is not covered and can be seen at all times by the sling's wearer. In short, please be careful before using your baby sling and read the directions!
