“There is very little information available to inform parents of safety and positioning advice of young babies in carriers/slings and in particular nothing in relation to breastfeeding in carriers/slings”

“The only current "tips" are provided on the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) website but these are in fact unhelpful”

“Consideration should be given to industry standards to promote the safe use of slings/carriers, to warn users of the risks and whether any such standards should be voluntary or mandatory”
