The Baby Sense Sling has been designed to encourage parents to carry their babies in the optimal position. The Sling’s soft fabric cocoons the new baby in a foetal position, which supports the neck well – essential for the newborn. Curled up snugly and close to the parent the baby is calmed in a familiar womb-like environment.
So, what are the reasons for carrying your baby in this manner:-
Sleep: The movement stimulation, as well as the snug hold of the sling, promotes sleep. Evidence shows that babies carried during the day sleep better at night. When the newborn baby falls asleep in the sling you can easily put him down still asleep in his cot. As he gets older you can use the sling for away times and outings.
Calm: There is overwhelming evidence that babies who are carried on their mothers are significantly calmer than babies who are not. This Sling mimics the calming environment of the womb. The feeling of being rocked, the soft, snug feel of the sling and the sounds of the mother’s body (heartbeat and voice) help to calm the baby.
Convenience: Carrying a baby, as well as being able to get on and do essential chores, or just go for a walk is often a balancing act. The Sling keeps the baby content whilst freeing up the mother’s hands. The convenience goes as far as allowing a mother to feed discreetly whilst carrying her baby.
Real Stock Status - In Real Time!
House of Baby sells online from stock and on some occasions, provides items on a 3-10 working day basis. This means that if an items states that it is 'In Stock', then the item is sat in our warehouse, awaiting your order for same, or next working day despatch to you. This is not a manually controlled or cosmetic stock display function, but a real-time stock state connected to actual stock values.
Can the same be said of other websites:
Many websites state that the item you are after is in stock, but how accurate or true is that information? At House of Baby you can test to see if we are telling the truth about our stock availability by adding an item to your shopping basket and then increasing the quantity within the shopping basket to an absurd level. Our system will tell you if you have exceeded our real-time stock level and ask you to adjust accordingly. When you have tested this on our website, try it on other sites that state that an item is in stock and see how many hundreds you can buy from stock holdings with them, which is obviously a sham and not reporting true stock availability.
Order Despatch:
All items ordered from us that are stocked items and displayed as 'In Stock' are despatch same or next working day by 24 hour courier (mainland UK). In some instances, receipt may take 1 to 3 days depending on weather conditions or position within the UK (Highlands, Islands etc). Small or items below a certain value are sent using Royal Mail and can take approx 7 days to arrive.
