    Another wrap sling question..

    I have found slings that are 100% cotton and others that are 95% cotton 5% spandex. I know that the spandex makes it more stretchy, but what would you recommend? I am tossing up between:

    *sleepy wrap which is the spandex one priced at $50 + postage
    *a moby which is 100% cotton and about $80 + postage
    and a sling from victoria slinglady. She is in the UK and cheap, hers are made from jersey cotton.. priced at about $17 + postage

    HELP I was hoping to find a wrap at the baby market that was on today but no luck. They only had ring slings, peanut shells and pouch style carriers..

    I have a Tyion Sling from Franklyn & Spencer and DS is sound asleep in it right now! Typing with 2 hands and all Priced at about $89 plus postage & its 95% cotton & 5% spandex so stretchy & comfy. I think one of these wrap style slings is a can't-live-without baby item!!

    Well I just bought a hug a bub 2nd hand for $25 off gumtree. The condition is ok, a good one to practice with. I think it will take me a while to get the hang of it LOL, I need a baby to practice with.. A teddy bear just doesn't cut it..

    FWIW I loved my hug-a-bub; and I used it mostly in tropical weather with no sweating issues. The only thing I never worked out how to do with it is wear the in a back carry lol

    I made a few so a bit different but I found anything with a slight stretch in it far more comfy that the 100% cotton because they have no give on your shoulders.
