FAQ

Made by a mother of four children, the pikimama sling is special in every way: ease of use, comfort, and fashion. All Pikimama slings are carefully made by mothers in our atelier in Tokyo.

Pikimama sling is approved by the International hip dysplasia institute as hip friendly baby carrier

Pikimama slings can be used from newborns up to 16 kg. In addition, as an after-sales service, you can order an alteration service. For example, you can use this service to adjust the size of the sling when your baby gets bigger and the sling feels too big, or when your postpartum diet has been successful and the sling feels loose.
The sling can be used for a long time until you graduate from carrying your baby.

Carrying the baby in a comfortable sling is one of the easiest and best ways to bond with the baby. It supports the biological need for baby and mother to "be together. And swaddling also reduces postpartum depression and promotes milk production in nursing mothers. Being close to baby frees up mom's hands to fold laundry, answer emails, and take care of big siblings. Furthermore, even babies with reflux or gas can be calmed through swaddling. A pediatrician's study showed that carrying a baby for 3 hours a day reduced crying by up to 43%. The Pikimama Sling distributes the baby's weight evenly over the upper body without creating pressure points on the shoulders and back. This is why most of our users say they experience less shoulder and back pain after using pikimama. It also supports the baby naturally in a healthy and ergonomic "M" position. Every time you wear it, you will feel as if your baby is giving you a big sweet hug.
