Baby Sling

[Keely]

Hi

Ellis is currently not letting me put him down in the mornings as he is awake and wants cuddling all the time and I was wondering if anyone has got or recommends baby slings so I could still get some stuff done round the house??

Apart from recommending you say b**ls to the housework, here is a couple of discussions we've had about slings before

I can recommend a pouch for whilst he's teeny, but you may find a mei tai more secure. Personally I wouldn't bother with any of the framed carriers/shop ones like Tomy's etc as they are uncomfortable and bulky.

My friend has just made up a new design of a mini mei tai for newborns, its smaller than the normal sized ones so they dont look so lost in them, however you can buy a normal sized one and fold it if you want it to last longer than a few months

This is the link to the newborn one (other colours are avaliable other than this one)

That sling is gorgeous.

Keely,
I have had a baby bjorn and it was good for being out for a walk but not much else. Too bulky. I have ordered a coorie pouch sling off of the brightsparks website and might get a ring sling if the breastfeeding works out.

Hope you have some success.
