Beautiful and Handmade Psling Obsession

Mothers all around the world wear their babies close to their bodies. Even in primitive cultures, babywearing is the accepted norm. Coincidentally, in babywearing societies, colic doesn't exist. So it's an excellent way to bond with your baby and also help soothe the dreaded colic or even the fussy period every baby seem to get.

Baby Carriers especially baby slings have become a must have baby item. Celebrities have made it fashionable but it is also very practical. It frees up your hands so you can get things done but keeps the baby close to you to nurture bonding. This is what the creator of Psling noticed. Created in 2005 in Japan:


Yasukazu Konno, the company's founder/COO, saw mothers who were holding their babies with one-sheet fabric while he was visiting hospitals in Central Asia and South America as a consultant for a medical equipment firm in the early 90s. He was impressed by the idea of "baby wearing," and the fabrics that make a mother and baby become "as one."


Those experiences led him to do some research on various baby carriers on the market at that time, including American baby holders (Baby Sling) and a European Style holder, but he wasn't be satisfied with any of them Therefore, he asked his wife, Chizuko Konno (Co-founder/CEO) to create their original baby sling. They thought that simply making functional slings was boring, so they started to make slings that could also serve as fashion accessories parents would enjoy wearing. (from Psling Website)


Handcrafted by Artisans, and made with only natural fabrics. This breathable and fashionable sling is a must have or any discerning moms.

1. Psling uses Cotton and Linen and recently introduced the Eco-friendly bamboo. Only natural soft materials to be against your baby's gentle skin yet tough enough to handle up to 39 lbs. This sling is a work horse with delicate appearance. The shoulders are padded but isn't bulky.

2. Highly breathable fabric; perfect for summer. The Linen is one of the most breathable fabrics while their Sijira line uses an ancient Japanese technique of weaving of applying a different weaving tension which is used in summer Kimonos. The fabric is reinforced to withstand baby's weight. Sijira fabric is highly hygroscopic and breathable. Although made of cotton, it has cooling qualities similar to linen.

3. During dyeing process, the linen is carefully hand-dyed in factories in Kyoto where they have dyed kimono fabrics for generations. Craftsmen don't use chemical paste, but use a natural paste.

4. Comfortable enough to wear for hours. Many mothers I have come across on the net who own Psling raves how comfortable it is. The pad is ingenious because it's deceptively thin but has enough padding so you can carry your baby stylishly without sacrificing comfort
