Baby laying on a Tucker Sling

One of the ways you can ensure maximum comfort as well as ensure uninterrupted sleep is by simply changing the position of his sleep!

That’s why I wanted to review the Tucker Sling. The Tucker Sling is such an infant positioning system for babies who suffer from any of the disease conditions as mentioned. Tucker Sling provides elevation for the baby to sleep soundly.

Product features:

• Tucker Sling is available in a variety of sizes which can accommodate babies weighing between 2 and 30 pounds. All the three sizes fit standard home crib mattresses.
• You could have your special Tucker Sling, custom made also.
• Tucker Sling offers safe and secure to your baby.

• To adjust Tucker Sling to your baby’s growth, you could opt for double Velcro strips which are an added feature.
• Shoulder straps (available on medium and large sizes) help in keeping larger and more active babies in control.
• Tucker Sling provides equal comfort to ailing babies at half the cost of normal therapy.
• Tucker Sling is machine is made of durable cotton and polyester quilted fabric and machine washable.

Thousands hospitals across the US use Tucker Sling for babies with reflux and other illnesses that require positioning. If you too wish to avail of this product for your baby, it is recommended that you consult your pediatrician before starting to use it.

To quote Douglas LaGarde, M.D. pediatric gastroenterologist at Tulane University Hospital and clinic in New Orleans, Louisiana:

“I have found The Tucker Sling® to be very user friendly. There have been no problems with babies falling out or getting tangled. Moms are pleased and the price is right.”

My thoughts on the Nap Nanny

I haven’t used a Nap Nanny myself, but a good friend has one and she loves it. Any time her son is crying or upset she places him in the Nanny and he quiets down nicely. Also, the Nanny reminds me of the Tucker Sling which is also very popular for colic so you might want to check that out as well.

Pricing & Where to Buy

I’ve seen the Nap Nanny for sale for anywhere from $120-$145 online, offline it always seems way over priced. One of the best places to get a good deal on it seems to be Amazon.
