Keep that baby close!


I was wondering if anyone has experience with any baby carriers? I wanted to get a few.. a BabyBjorn type and a sling/wrap for the baby when it is a newborn. Anyone have any advise? I have an 18 mo and know I will be needing something like this in order to stay sane
Thanks girls!

I am looking into hotslings! They look wonderful...and I totally want one. I don't think they are too expensive, but that's what a baby shower is for anyways
They have a website...I think its called hotslings.com

I heard on another site that a lot of people like Ring Slings. You can adjust them to your size then. So I am looking into one of those and a babybjorn.

I was looking into the ring slings also, but the only downfall they say is that some of them slip...so you might want to read up on the ones your interested in.

I bought a ring sling made by Taylormade. I went through hundreds of sling reviews and although I originally wanted the Maya Sling it was less expensive to get the Taylormade shipped over than get a Maya in this country!

I've also made 4 mei tai's in the past week and I plan on making more before bubs is born.
I won't be using a pram or pushchair, we are going to be Attachment Parenting.

So yeah Mantha - Keep Baby Close!

Oh, if anyone wants it here's a great babywearing forum with loads of product reviews... http://www.thebabywearer.com/forum/

Hey Sara did you like the quality of the sling you bought? I was thinking of getting a peanutshell but ring slings are easier to get babies in and out of.
