Babywearing is a silent dialogue between parent and child.
At PsLing New York, we believe that holding your baby should be an experience of both comfort and elegance. We have compiled these frequently asked questions to help you master the art of babywearing and ensure the lifelong enjoyment of your sling.

Category 1: The Art of Linen & Craft
Nature’s finest fibers, woven with artisanal care.
Discover why we exclusively choose 100% linen for our slings. This section explores the unique characteristics of our fabrics, the engineering of our signature shoulder design, and the simple rituals of care that allow your PsLing to grow more beautiful and comfortable over time.
Why 100% Linen? Is it better than cotton?
High-quality linen is superior in breathability and moisture-wicking, keeping both you and your baby cool in summer and warm in winter. Unlike cotton, linen becomes softer and more lustrous with every use, truly “growing” with your family and tailoring itself to your body.
Does the shoulder have padding?
No. We intentionally avoid thick padding. Instead, our signature design allows the fabric to spread widely across your shoulder and back, distributing the baby’s weight evenly. This creates a “weightless” feeling that surpasses any artificial padding.
How should I wash my linen sling?
We recommend hand washing with a mild detergent to preserve the natural fibers and protect the rings. Air drying is essential; avoid tumble drying to maintain the fabric’s integrity and the beautiful sheen of the linen.
Category 2: Safety & Usage
Snug, secure, and intuitive from day one.
Safety is the foundation of the PsLing experience. Here, we address the essentials of newborn positioning, the ‘M-position’ for healthy hip development, and tips for mastering the fine adjustments that ensure a weightless carry as your child grows from an infant to a curious toddler.
Is it safe for newborns whose necks are not yet stable?
Yes. By using the “Cradle Position,” you can provide the same secure support as if you were holding them in your arms. Ensure the baby’s face is always visible and airflow is clear, maintaining a gentle snugness that mimics a warm cocoon.
Up to what age or weight can I use the sling?
PsLing is designed to support your child from newborn up to approximately 35 lbs (15 kg), usually around 3 years of age. As your child grows, you can transition from front carries to hip carries to suit their developing curiosity.
My shoulder feels tired. How can I improve the fit?
Ensure the fabric is spread widely across your shoulder and down your back to distribute the weight evenly. Also, verify that the rings are positioned high—nestled between your chest and shoulder. This adjustment is the secret to a weightless and balanced carry.
Category 3: Shopping & Support
A lifetime of support for your changing lifestyle.
Your PsLing journey doesn’t end with a purchase. Whether you are sharing the sling with a partner of a different build, or looking to breathe new life into a cherished fabric through our ‘Remake’ service, find out how we support your family’s evolving needs and celebrate the memories woven into your sling.
Can I share the sling with my partner?
Absolutely. One of the greatest advantages of our ring sling is that it is “one size fits all.” The rings allow for infinite, micro-adjustments to perfectly fit any body type, making it effortless to share between parents.
Where can I find information about shipping and payments?
