Baby Slings

Has anyone used a baby sling and if so did you like it? I did not use a sling with my other children. For one I am very busty and I was to heavy for one to fit. This time around I am hoping to use one but am unsure. What do you think, is it worth the money and did you use it?

I bought the cutest one ever and even tried it on while I was pg and was incredibly excited to use it...and DID NOT : ( Nathan was a 9 lb 9 oz baby and he just did not like it....

There are some that the ladies have used on here that wrap around the front and back....am sure they will post.....

Thanks for the response. I just do not want to spend the money and then not use it.

I didn't use a sling with my 1st baby but did use one with my 2nd and she LOVES it still...and she's 9m old.  I didn't use a 'sling' but rather a wrap.  This is the one I got...



I got it at www.loveyduds.com .

 

Thanks I will check it out.

I didn't use slings with my first two (honestly couldn't figure it out how it was supposed to help, I felt like he was gonna fall out all the time.)  But this 3rd time around I saw a mother with a nearly identical body shape as mine and she carried the baby very easily with no hands.  I was astounded and had to try it out.  Now I love mine too.  It's so much better to put him in and walk with my other kids more freely.  Worth every penny in my experience.

I got mine at http://bundleoflove.net/.  I've heard it called a "peanutshell" style sling and there are a few other companies that make them this way (including thepeanutshell.com and I have seen them at babies-r-us also) but I chose the bundleoflove because they make each one to order, adjust very securely and account for larger size women.
