If you can find an attachment parenting group around you, I know sometimes they pile all their slings together on a special night and you can try all the different ones on to see which you like best. I don't know if they do that in Michigan though...Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147176085020618060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-1134614998972765952005-12-14T21:49:00.000-05:002005-12-14T21:49:00.000-05:00I've never used a sling or a wrap for Caitlin. I ...I've never used a sling or a wrap for Caitlin. I did use a Baby Bjorn when she was young and she loved it. I wore it on an airplane trip (4 hours total) and she slept the whole time! It was wonderful! :)<BR/>I hope that you can find something that works for you & Noah. I have many friends who have used a sling and have loved them, but I have no personal advice.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927215566474451712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-1134604343785216722005-12-14T18:52:00.000-05:002005-12-14T18:52:00.000-05:00I hope you find one that works, Lauren.I never use...I hope you find one that works, Lauren.<BR/>I never used one, but I did notice that holding Kelsey close calmed her down...still does sometimes.<BR/>Love you.<BR/>KendraKendra Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987312000889846337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-1134597699632144982005-12-14T17:01:00.001-05:002005-12-14T17:01:00.001-05:00Forgot - Maya has a series of videos on their site...Forgot - Maya has a series of videos on their site for using slings and wraps - I found it very helpful with my own sling!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858511221598789469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-1134597665219045572005-12-14T17:01:00.000-05:002005-12-14T17:01:00.000-05:00I have a sling that a dear friend made me (she mak...I have a sling that a dear friend made me (she makes them as a business)...it is similar to a Maya sling but not as pricey. I LOVE IT. I couldn't function without it. What I love most about it, though, is that they are rated for up to 40 or 50 pounds - Tyler's at 28 right now. So, I definitely needed something that was made for bigger boys!<BR/><BR/>It is definitely better on my back. I still have to lift him, but the weight is distributed over more of my back, shoulders and sides, so it isn't so bad. Now, if you don't wear it correctly and get too far up on the neck, it isn't fun at all.<BR/><BR/>Mine has pockets - it folds into itself to slip into the diaper bag, it is easy to wash, and those pockets are awesome. I put my wallet, keys a toy, the travel wipes and my shopping list and we're off to the store. <BR/><BR/>I HIGHLY recommend a sling. I've seen the wraps, they look much simpler, but I'm just loving my sling.<BR/><BR/>Other plusses of the sling - so many different ways to carry them! WE're just now starting to carry him in it piggy-back and it is wonderful! He also sits on my hip, naps on my chest and used to nurse in it (but we don't do the mommy stuff anymore - whoo hooo). My older son used it when we went to Wassailfest - it was so cold and he forgot his jacket. WE just wrapped it around him like a blanket and it worked like a charm! It has been an emergency burp cloth, pillow, towel, and blanket. The thing is awesome.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am biased, biased, biased, but I wouldn't get anything else!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858511221598789469noreply@blogger.com
