    So sad. Slings are wonderful and I carry Anna in a carrier all the time, but definitely the upright position, the cradle carry is where their airway can get compressed and is no longer recommended. That poor family.

    Thats the way I was reading it.

    I just don't understand how you can not pay enough attention to your child long enough for them to suffocate.  I mean I guess it can happen in a little amount of time, but was constantly focusing on DS when he was young when I was wearing him in a carrier.

    That sling was recalled in the US wasn't it??   It's like a bag you put your baby in, not a regular sling.  So kids were deprived of air in them because they were essentially shoved in a big purse.  And then under your shirt and sweater????  WTF?   Who on earth would do that?    That's just awful.
