My sling

[zebrastripes]

...came in the post today. It's very nice now to figure out how to use it. What age can you strap them to your back,does anyone know? As i attempted it with Willow earlier, but it didn't seem very secure: she seemed like she could fall back rather easily.

Why not pm Melanie hunni, as shes the expert on all slings!

what type did you get?

the Ellaroo. It's a pretty colour. I'm so confused as to how to fold it etc..

Babies can be carried on your back from birth but its about your confidence. Id recommend getting used to using the wrap in a couple of front and hip carries first.
Let me know if you want some videos to help you out and ill dig some good ones for you.

I've been trying her on my hip, but for some reason, no matter how tight I try to tie it, she keeps slipping everywhere. I'll get thew hang of it eventually. Videos would be useful

If you want hun you can pm me your address and ill make a copy of a really good DVD i have that i used when i first started babywearing. Its brilliant and i still check things on it. It covers almost every type of carrier too.
