P-sling goes on vacation

2010-01-19T17:05:00.001-05:00

In the middle of cold (and long) winter here in New York, we received wonderful pictures from Hawaii that already turned our minds to summer. Coralissa, Ivan and Nainoa - Thank you for sharing pictures. We are happy to see you guys enjoying P-sling on vacation.

Welcome, Layni!

2010-01-14T19:35:00.000-05:00

We want to share happy news with all of you. Our dear friend, Danyelle had a baby girl, Alayna Marie on January 3. She was born at 7:40am and already feel cozy in a P-sling at 2pm. The second picture was taken when she is 1 day old. What a beautiful face she has! And red hair like her big brother, Ethan!

Congratulations on the new addition, Ritchie family! Thank you for your precious pictures.

P-sling's Debut in Australia

2009-12-29T10:58:00.001-05:00

P-sling's newest retailer "Pipsqueak Petite" is located in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

Our relationship with this lovely store started when its owner purchased a P-sling for her own grandchild. Since then, they became the only retailer of P-sling in Australia. The great surprise is that most of P-slings were sold out just in their first week!

When you get a chance to visit the beautiful city Toorak, please drop by this store. You will be warmly welcomed.

Hadagi Tips for Winter

2009-12-18T18:59:00.015-05:00

Coldness and dry air can be your baby's biggest enemy in winter, just like us. But did you know when your baby stay warm at home with heaters, he or she doesn't need to be bundled up as much due to their high metabolism? Newborns can't regulate their body temperature as well as adults can, so it is important for parents and care givers to make sure a baby is comfortable.

With Mikihouse's signature Hadagi Collection, you can layer one short hadagi under a combi hadagi on your baby. So it is easy to dress or undress your little one as needed. Also, high quality supima cotton won't disappoint you after every wash.

We received more shipment from Mikihouse today.

A perfect Christmas gift for a baby.

Traveling with your baby

2009-11-25T12:38:00.000-05:00

Traveling with a baby could be not as easy as we wish to be, especially when you have a couple of luggage filled with holiday gifts, diapers, toys etc... not to mention navigating a stroller at the busy airport. Also, if you are with an infant, you may need to feed your baby before you arrive at your destination.

Don't forget to bring a P-sling with you. Getting on and off the plane will be easier if you don't need to go through the whole process of checking or carrying a stroller. With P-sling, you can discreetly nurse while your baby is in the sling anywhere.

Carrying your baby in P-sling will also make it easier when you visit several families and friends or just need to step out for a stroll around the neighborhood.

Travel safe and have fun with your little one!

We would love to hear your travel experience with P-sling. Please e-mail us at customerservice@pslingnewyork.com.

How to take care of your P-sling

2009-10-22T18:36:00.000-04:00

Think about your favorite T-shirt or your baby's favorite snuggle blanket.

P-sling can be treated the same way. You take good care of it so you can appreciate and enjoy it to the fullest.

Here is the care instruction of P-sling:

Gentle cleaning method is hand-wash as always. But all P-sling is machine washable (Cold water in the "Delicate" cycle). Wash in a laundry mesh bag/net is highly recommended.
Use a delicate laundry detergent. No bleach
Do not soak or bleach
Wash with like colors
Re-shape while damp
No dryer (because of stainless steel ring). Hang dry in a well-ventilated place
No Iron. Our delicate fabric is sensitive to the ironing heat

Please keep in mind that P-sling is a consumable product.

One of the most common mistakes of handling the sling is to pull the fabric too roughly.

This could damage the fabric and your sling may not last as long as it should.

Remember, once your baby is inside of the sling, rings get tighter to keep the baby secure.

When you need to tighten the fabric around the baby, please gently lift your baby before adjusting the sling.

We would be happy to help you whenever you have a question.

Please contact us at customerservice@pslingnewyork.com if you have any concerns.

Newborn Essentials: Changing Pad

2009-08-26T16:33:00.002-04:00

Whether at a picnic or airport bathroom, changing diapers may not be always easy. Especially if the changing pad is too small for your squirmy baby.

Try patemm® pad.
This patented, award-winning changing pad was designed by a mom who had been frustrated by the smaller rectangular shape of diaper changing pads (that is why patemm pad is round!).

It is 28 inches, wide enough even for wiggly babies. Patemm's new collection is made of laminated cotton so it is machine-washable. And inside pockets will allow you to store a couple of diapers, baby wipes and changing clothes.

manhattan momma patemm pad - $58

available at Psny store (212-253-0630)

Bubble - The Kids Trade Show

2009-08-05T18:22:00.003-04:00

"Bubble" is one of the best trade shows that buyers must go to check out the latest children's products. It takes place twice a year in New York and London. All exhibitors are carefully selected and we get to meet a great mix of brands around the world. We visit Bubble every season as a buyer to look for new items that will satisfy our sophisticated customers.

Brooklyn based "atsuyo et akiko" is one of designers we met at Bubble New York a couple years ago and they have been our and our customers favorite brand ever since.

Newborn Essentials: Hadagi

2009-07-27T17:33:00.002-04:00

HADAGI, a traditional kimono style underwear has been appreciated among Japanese mothers and babies for a long time because of its comfort and function.

Unlike ordinary onesies, kimono style is very easy to put on and take off. You don't need to put the baby's head go through the neck.

At Psny, we've been carrying the high quality hadagi from MIKI HOUSE for the past 4 years. Soft fabrics are made of Supima® Cotton (offers the desirable characteristics of cotton; comfort, absorbency, easy care, freedom from static cling, strength). All seams and tags are formed on the outside of the wear, so they do not irritate baby's skin. Because clothing tags and rough seams can be really uncomfortable for newborn's delicate skin.

Another unique feature of hadagi is the silhouette. A bottom part of long hadagi is designed to fit the shape of newborn's leg ("M" shape) so that a baby can move their legs freely.

Available in

White, Animal, Clover & Chick

0-3 months/3-6 months

$24 - $34

Babywearing Workshop

2009-07-14T16:18:00.008-04:00

The Prenatal Yoga Center is the first yoga center in New York City to focus on moms and moms-to-be. Yesterday, we participated in babywearing workshop and demonstrated how to use P-sling at their UWS space. It was a cozy and relaxed atmosphere so that all attendees could try P-sling to see how it works. A babywearing expert, Jane Silane walked them through different types of baby carriers (front carrier, hip holder, sling, mei tai, Wrap etc...) and shared her own experience with each carriers. It was insightful. We hope all attendees went home being excited about their babywearing experience.

KASURI arrived!

We are excited to inform you that the last stock of Kasuri collection has just arrived!

Perfect fabric for summer

2009-07-09T17:00:00.003-04:00

Finally, summer has arrived here in NY after rainy month of June! We are often asked by customers which P-sling collection is good for summer. Of course we have linen fabric which is great for breathability. But SIJIRA cotton is the best among our cotton collections.

Origin of SIJIRA is summer kimono in Japan. If you have never experienced summertime in Japan, we have to tell you it is hot and humid!! So the fabric has to breath better to fit the season. The fabric has unevenness on surface called Shibo. It looks like seersucker fabric. This surface makes a layer of air which results in giving lightness and coolness.

The fabric is created in Awa city known for indigo dying as "Japanese Blue". Usual SIJIRA fabric on the market does not have enough strength to safely carry babies because it is meant to be worn mostly as kimono. That's why we have been collaborating with Nagao-Orifu (founded in 1897) to produce our original SIJIRA fabric specifically for P-sling. Once you try it, you will love how the fabric dries quickly and gets softer.

Wonderful time with expectant moms

2009-07-05T16:02:00.020-04:00

Last month, we participated in Expectant Moms Dinner hosted by Big City Moms, the original social program for moms in NYC. At the event, we were fortunate to have an opportunity to introduce P-sling in front of 60 expectant moms. And one lucky winner brought an Organic Cotton P-sling home with her!

Big City Moms is founded by two sisters, Risa Goldberg and Leslie Venokur to create and host events and classes for moms, expectant moms and whole families. If you have not heard about this program yet, you should check out their website (www.bigcitymoms.com) for more info. You will be amazed by the variety of events/classes they offer.
