Manduca Sling - the elastic baby wrap

The bi-elasticity of the Manduca Sling is unique, as it means that the sling can be stretched not only lengthways but also crossways. This makes this sling super easy to put on and yet it maintains its stability and the fabric of the Manduca Sling does not sag. As recommended by babywearing consultants, every baby sling now comes with the practical contrast stitching for even easier tying.

Do you still remember the feeling of pregnancy? Your baby was so close to you and it was just wonderful. We can give you and your baby a little bit of that feeling back, because like a super soft stretch top, the Manduca Sling adapts to your body and moves with you. You feel your baby very close to you and your baby simply enjoys it. The elastic Manduca jersey sling is cuddly soft, bi-elastic and stable at the same time. Even parents who actually didn't want to use a sling that had to be tied are always surprised at how easy the Manduca Sling is to tie and how comfortable it is to wear.

What makes the Manduca Sling so special:

Manduca Sling - the baby sling made from a very special fabric

Developed specifically for the Manduca Sling and after several test phases, the decision was made to use a special knitted fabric. This is a high-quality jersey interlock that contains no synthetic fibers or elastane. The Manduca Sling is always made from 100% organic cotton. And although the Manduca Sling is made from pure organic cotton, this bi-elastic fabric (stretchable lengthways and crossways) is particularly stable lengthways and particularly elastic crossways.

It always fits - just one Manduca Sling size for all.

The Manduca Sling is made in one size (5.50m) that fits everyone. The sling has narrow tapered ends that are tied around your body with a knot. The fabric is no bulkier than a normal T-shirt.

Tie the sling once - wear it all day

The Manduca Sling is pre-tied. Even if you have not been able to cope with a woven sling before, you will not find tying this elastic sling difficult. It really is super easy to use. Put the sling on at your leisure and without your baby. You only tie it correctly once and then put your baby in the Manduca Sling as often as you like. The elastic fabric ensures that the sling adjusts perfectly to your proportions and your baby. Please do not tie the sling too loosely. Please always tie the Manduca Sling with 3 layers of fabric, otherwise the correct stability and support of your baby cannot be guaranteed.

Special children - a special Manduca sling:

The Manduca Sling is basically ideal for all newborns weighing 3500g or more. We particularly recommend the elastic sling to all parents with babies who are very sensitive to touch in the neck, throat or head area or who have had birth trauma such as Kiss syndrome. The Manduca Sling is also very suitable for babies with diagnosed spasms. Since babies cannot arch their backs in an elastic sling, the Manduca Sling is particularly suitable for babies who react to pressure with counter-pressure. The sling is also suitable for premature babies whose muscle tone is not yet well developed. The sling provides the necessary support through a firm binding. The basic rule for premature babies is: This applies to your baby if it weighs less than 3.5 kg, or if it is a very early premature baby that still needs to be kept in the ward. There are a few additional things to consider if you want to carry your baby in the Manduca Sling. Please be sure to get expert advice on which specific binding technique can offer the right support for your baby. A babywearing consultant who specializes in premature babies will help you find the best way to carry your baby.

When can the Manduca Sling be used and for how long?

The Manduca Sling has been tested and approved for a weight of 3.5 kg to 15 kg. We recommend it especially for the first few months of life. After that, switching to the Manduca baby carrier is ideal. To make this easier for you, we also offer our 2for1 service.
