| Mum (Mom) Active BnB Member  Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Cheshire Posts: 174 | Which sling?! I know everyone will probs bombard me with millions of diff slings now but i'm open to anything!  Little man is 2 weeks & is quite grumpy, hates being laid flat anywhere but is very happy to be lay in my arms.on my chest all day...not fun when we have things to do/have to be somewhere!  So I want to know which sling I should go for? I want something that is easy to put on and that I can do myself without any help etc as most of the time will be on my own during the day....also something that will last me a while and I can use in diff ways etc, like the look of wrap slings etc not a fan of the carriers Thanks in advance! x |

I have only used a Moby and still use it with my huge/heavy 9 month old Some people use woven wraps from newborn but they take a lot more practice. As Sara says, they're not the quickest to use at first but give it a few attempts and you'll love it I'm sure! If you want something quicker/easier to use then maybe a Ring Sling for newborn, again, love my Ring Sling for my now 9 month old! I personally think Mei Tai's/Soft Structured Carriers are better for slightly older babies but plenty of people use them for newborns/young babies. x |
