Babywearing has been one of the best things I've done with my little boy.

We started off using a peanut sling in the early days. I was having weekly blood tests, so it was great to just have him cuddled in there in the clinic when I needed that done; and my DH plays soccer - so most of his winter games had my little boy just tucked away on me. I loved him being in there!

Then when he was about 4 weeks old or something, I started using the Hug A Bub. Hard to work out at first, but before long it was second nature. This was really good for us on Wonder Weeks, or during arsenic hour - I would just walk around the house or street with him in there and he'd settle pretty quickly.

From 6 months old or so, we had the Ergo Performance & I still use it still. Rhino LOVES it - tucked into mum and watching the world go by. I really should do back carry; I just don't set aside the time to learn it.


Tell you what though - feels like EVERY time I wear it someone has the assumption that he's too heavy for it and that it has to be so uncomfortable. I love educating people as to why it's so much better than the ones you usually see people wear (apparently it's not that common at the places I visit!); and hopefully I've converted some people... :lol

I don't know how people get on WITHOUT a sling. My SIL has never used one (with 3 kids) and I just don't understand it!
