Harmony has so far been in a peanut type sling, but it only made for little ones, it had the velcro straps inside, and baby can only lay down, no other carry way possible...
It is now KILLING my shoulder to carry her, and she is awake alot now, and I'd like to be able to look abot, but she has only a tiny amount of head control so far.
So what do I get for us?? I want it be as easy as my pouch sling, so no mei tei's, or hard carriers... maybe a ring sling? Can she go in one okay?
I looked at the peanut shells....I can sit her in a kangaroo type possy cant I?? And I can use it up to toddlerhood....
I was really happy with the first sling, It was made for newborns, so worked perfectly, but now I need a not-quite-holding-her-head-up-but-wants-to-see sling
I carry her for a few hours on shopping days too....
Have you seen hug a bubs? My bub is too heavy for our sling too,one shouldered slings are too tough on the back for us...So I googled HAB and ended up making one from material from spotlight... good as bub can look around and a bit of material cam come across to support their head.
i think a ring sling will do the trick!
is also very versitile later ie hip carrying.. i still can put miss A in there..and she is almost 2(but a tiny 2yrold)
i have a 100(or is it 1000) knots ring sling..
Ring slings are great for all ages. I've used one for DS since birth, and now he's big and heavy but I still use it. They're easily adjustable and no need to worry about different sizes. So many different ways to carry bubs in them, too. I used to have DS snuggled in it to sleep, then sitting up like a little joey facing out, and now I use it like a hip carrier or piggy-back style. Mine is home-made, so I put pockets in the end of the "tail" so I can take everything I need for a short trip without needing an extra bag. I love it! But remember - keep baby high and tight so it doesn't hurt your back.
Jodie, I have a hotsling and as much as I love it and as much as it's been reall great, I am looking to upsize to a mei tei because he is starting to get too tall for it, so for a while he wasn't feeling as secure as he used too, but he's put on a fair whack of weight lately so it's better, but at the rate he's getting taller, I can see him growing out of it soon. I have seen some ring slings that are wider in the fabric to allow for a toddler carry etc plus you can also pull the top part tighter
An in-between sling....??
