For about two months, my child could only fall asleep while being held, so I bought and used this sling, desperate for a solution. Whether it's the sense of security or the gentle rocking, my child would quickly fall asleep in this sling. (My child only allowed the "koala hold" position, haha!) You can lay the sling directly on the futon, and unbuckle it, allowing your baby to sleep soundly. My child was on the larger side, so we didn't use it for very long, and it's in very good condition. It has been washed in the washing machine several times. It's a good idea to wash it at home and let it absorb the scent of mom and dad. - Color: Gray - Model Name: u-sling - Usage: 6-WAY use - Brand Name: keratä - Accessories: Storage bag Thank you for looking.
