There's only one thread. The other one was closed to keep the conversation in one place.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my ring sling. I never got used to it, never liked it, but maybe someone else would? It was too much to have all the weight on one shoulder.  If anyone would like it, let me know and you can have it.

The sling I borrowed from my friend was a ring sling, so maybe that's why I had so much trouble with it.

I would love to try to make one, but I think it'd just be easier for me to buy one.
I was looking @ some on ebay..... the ultimate baby wrap , there are 5 diff positions you can hold them in.....

Shannon...what kind did you have? (homemade or bought). Was it the way it sat on your shoulders that hurt you? I don't want to make one and then hate it and I plan on making me one very soon (like this next week if possible) since the movers packed up my moby wrap and we are now stuck with the backpack carrier and I HATE it.
I tried 3 mei tais - 1 was an Angel Pack, one was a homemade one, and the other was bought online but I don't know where it was from (I tried other people's mei tais on to see if I liked them; the only one that's mine is the homemade one). They all hurt my shoulders and neck, but my neck is very sensitive right now, so I'm not a great person to ask for opinions.
Donna, I couldn't figure out a ring sling till Ellie was about 3 months old. Now I LOVE It. It's the only sling I can nurse in. If you really want to get rid of yours, I would love to have it. I'm borrowing a beautiful silk ring sling from a friend right now, but I have to give it back in a couple of months. I'm grateful I got to use it, but I'm kind of disappointed I have to give it back.
Angie, I wouldn't recommend the Ultimate Baby Wrap. It's just a copy of the Moby wrap, which most people like much better. Go with the Moby; you'll love it!

THIS is the carrier I have and I love it. It has pockets on one end for holding my cell, debit card, etc.
I have never tried any other type of carrier, but I think I could easily become a sling addict too!!! Haha... we should start a club!

I'll take a ring sling as well, I love them. Do the wraps make you sweat? I get so hot just holding a baby that I cant imagine having all that extra fabric wrapped around me.

What kind of carrier would you ladies recommend for an older baby - DD is 16 months and big for her age - she's wearing 24mths/2T clothes. When she was a newborn, I used a bjorn type of carrier and didn't like the stress it put on my back - she's grown out of that now as she's over 25 pounds. I was thinking of something like a Moby wrap for trips to the grocery store, times when she wants to be "on me" and my arms hurt, etc, but didn't know how that worked when they are bigger?? Before I invest the money in buying one or the time in sewing one, I'd love some tips from moms who use carriers/wraps/slings!! Thoughts???

I haven't used it for a bigger kid, but the Moby has directions for a hip carry and a back carry that should work with a toddler. I have no desire to try it with Hannah (2 yo) though...she has beefed up recently and gained 5 pounds in a month!

Prudent, I'd go with the ellaroo. I don't like the hip position with the Ergo; it's awkward to me. I wouldn't get the hip hammock because it's not versatile. A ring sling is great for the hip position. That's how I wear Ellie most of the time now.

Probably that colostrum & abundant newborn milk
That's what we're thinking. I'm glad though because after her pneumonia in January, she looked really sickly. She's all pudgy again...even more than she was before she was sick, and she's got color back in her face.
I vote for the first one too. Is that a version of a Meitai?

Ok something funny is happening with my eyes, every time I glanced away from the ergo picture, it looked like the ladies hand moved! It really freaked me out! Don't pick the freaky one!
I like the first one best too, it looks like there's more ability to adjust in different ways

Re: the discussion about carriers you don't use. There's a mom online who started a charity that gives away slings to mothers who could not otherwise afford them. >>Here<< is a link to the donation page.
