Yey! Slings!

I have a few mei tai's. I had a ring sling when DD was very small, but she didnt like it. But neither of my children have liked to be in the cradle position unless they're being fed. So I looked into slings as I liked the idea of carrying her and found out about mei tai's. They keep baby upright, and are really easy to put on. If you look on you tube there are loads of videos showing you how to put them on (that goes for any typre of sling).

Now DD is bigger I'm going to try another ring sling as she could sit on my hip in it rather than lying across me.

But personally, I'd say, mei tai's all the way. And you can get some really pretty ones!!

Never had one, the cloth ones look good

I have one Tasha recommended to me.

Close Baby Carrier.

Didn't need to try another, Caitlyn loves it.

So versitile, and bloody comfy for me and her (once I worked it out of course)!

We've got a hug-a-bub (http://www.hugabub.com/), never tried another. I liked the fact it is strong enough to hold LO's head in place so you can bend forward hands free without LO moving if you should need to. He is fast asleep in it as we speak!

I bought a Moby fabric sling, www.bigmamaslings.co.uk not badly priced and easy to put on after the first couple of times. (I've only tried 2 positions at the mo as Lewis is still quite small).

It's not as supportive of his head as I'd hoped & I get quite hot when wearing it but all in all not a bad sling. (It looks similar to the close baby carrier).

Moby

Tried a ring sling, and didn't like it. Will probably go to it again when we're ready for the hip carry.

This is an interesting thread, i was wondering about getting one too as I can't do anything all day as LO wants to be held when he's asleep! And as we live in a 3 storey house, I'm not happy leaving him asleep and being on the ground floor (even to make a cuppo tea!).

the close and the hug a bub seem similar, so any more recommendations would be great, as am very keen to buy one!
