some advantages of the Didymos baby sling in brief
|
|
You have your hands free even when your baby wants to be rocked and walked around for an hour or more. |
|
Wherever you move, through crowded town centres or on rough terrain you can always take your baby with you. |
 |
|
Babies who are carried regularly do not develop fear of loss, they cry less and become independent earlier. |
|
The DIDYMOS allows to carry your child in many different ways depending on the length of your journey or the weight of your child. |
|
 |
The sling is suitable for all sizes andyou can carry your baby from birth tothe age of three years. |
|
Out in the mountains, on the beach, in the city or on hikes, the DIDYMOS sling means more freedom to share experiences. |
|
 |
The wraparound sling is lightweight and handy,and, when not needed, it folds and fits easily in a bag. |
|
When the Didymos is no longer needed for carrying, it will serve as a hammock, a comforter, a swing , sun-sail, a scarf, etc |
 |
 |
DIDYMOS- slings are made from pure organic cotton and the colours are free fom heavy metals. |
|
Quality always pays off. Parents often tell us: "I'm carrying my child in the same DIDYMOS cloth, in which my parents carried me." |

How it started in 1971
 The story of the DIDYMOS - baby sling started in 1971 with our twins Lisa and Tina (twin = ancient Greek didymos):
Once, when crying from the nursery was an unmistakable signal for: "Mummy, I have woken up!", but a mountain of unfinished housework could not be put off any longer, I finally decided to tie the little crybaby around myself just as women in other parts of our planet had done for centuries. Before then I had been fascinated by reports from distant countries where women pursued their daily work in a most uncomplicated way while intimately attached to their children. I owned a carrying cloth from Central America; but it seemed too exotic at first and that is why I had hidden it in the chest of drawers.
But now the time had come: I tried for a while until I found the right method and walked through our village where we had moved a few weeks before the birth of our twins. Very soon we were the talk of the village and not all the comments were positive. But the twins convinced me. They started smiling as soon as they saw the cloth, and I also enjoyed the physical contact, once with Lisa, then with Tina, just like a prolonged pregnancy. It also had other advantages: My work did not have to be squeezed into the short moments when they were asleep, I could manage the household again and became more relaxed, knowing that the two little ones received as much warmth and physical contact as their brother and sister had when they were babies and I carried them around on my arm.
The carrying cloth would probably have become a nice memento of the our twins’ early years, but when the "Heilbronner Stimme" and "Stern" magazine published articles about us, parents all over Germany wanted carrying cloths from me, and I only had one myself...
How I founded the baby-sling company in a small village, with four children and living in a half-finished house is another story. However this much is true, I could not have done it without the baby sling.
Best wishes for you and your family,
