Ring sling is easy to sort of slide baby into....I can get Ruby in and out easily, even if she wriggles. I find Mei Tei harder, OH has to help me

I've got a ring sling which my husband uses but I don't get on with, a Babyhawk mei tai and a Moby wrap. The Moby arrived only yesterday and because my baby was wailing I popped her in it straight away by myself. She was extremely happy in it for about 3 hours and went to sleep. She was very dozy when she came out of it and was very chilled for the rest of the evening. Both the mei tai and the wrap take a little bit of practice, but are not too difficult to use by yourself.

I got lots of advice from here www.thebabywearer.com

I have a Kari me wrap around sling and its great. I practised putting it on when i was pregnant so that one baby arrived i was an expert! now i can get it on and get baby in it in no time! and he loves it, falls asleep right away. I really recommend it! x
