Wearing the Gaia Baby Sling for extended periods is generally safe and beneficial for both you and your baby. However, it's crucial to listen to your body and your baby's cues. Ensure the sling is adjusted correctly to distribute weight evenly, preventing strain on your back and shoulders. Regularly check your baby's positioning to maintain proper support and comfort. Take breaks if you or your baby show signs of discomfort. Always prioritize your and your baby's well-being while enjoying the bonding experience that the Gaia Baby Sling offers.
