Hi All, I am sure you have heard in the news about the recall of the Infantino Baby slings (Slingrider and Wendy Bellissimo)there has been a reported link of the deaths of three babies in the US.

Infantino have advised all customers to stop using the slings immediately because they pose a suffocation risk to infants.

Further advice on the recall can be found on their website www.infantino.com

I have never used a sling before, but have recently bought a Bubzilla Baby sling which is firm fabric not soft, does that make a difference?

Obviously, I am now relucatant to use it (33 weeks pregnant with DC3) and just wondered what other peoples thoughts were?

I have looked through the instructions/website and there appears to be no advice on limiting time in the sling etc?

As I will be breastfeeding I was hoping to use it a lot, out and about as I have a busy active life with DS1, 10 yr old and DS2, 2 yr old!

My DH is not happy about using it at all now, any advice/experience about using these slings would be most welcome!!!

This is a 5 year old thread. The Infantino slings have been off the market for a long time.

If you follow TICKS guidelines, using a sling is wonderful and very safe.

Although other bag slings are still available so probably good that the issue is brought up periodically.
