[Danni]

hey guys, I need a sling please. I need one where he is sitting sorts upright across me iykwim?

Please tell me what you have, where to buy them and the price please

[christy]

Sorry Danni... the only sling I know about is the HAB & I know you have one of those... hopefully someone else can help!

[Danni]

oh christy, your girls look gorgeous there!

Yes i forgot to mention I have a HAB and I am hoping one of the BB girls can show me how to use it today. Although I still think Mason wont like it as he isnt strong enough to be forward facing yet

I have a Bubba Moe Sling, which is fantastic. I don't have a baby to use it with yet, but at work (I'm a children's nurse) we use them all the time for babies that are withdrawing from drugs their mothers took during pregnancy and they are just fantastic.

I got mine from a shop in Brisbane called Mama's Home, but I'm sure if you googled Bubba Moe you'd be able to buy one online. Mine cost $80.00

H likes it too, we just got a plain black one (which is a bit boring in my opinion, but at least H will use it!).

Danni, another one that looks good is the Baby Rock ones in the Babies galore catalogue, they look really easy to use, just to pop them in without having to tie anything and they retail through them for about $100.

Danni, I have a pocket sling (with rings) which I love. But I think you'll find it similar to your HAB, in that it takes a bit of practice to get it right (although if you always remember to put the baby's bottom on the seam it's pretty easy). Also I don't think Mason could go forward facing in it any earlier than he could in the HAB.
But like Brooke and her HAB, I'd never have been able to shop until Tom was about 6 months without it.

i have an infantino baby sling that elysia kind of lies lengthways across me - i also have a tomy upright one but found her head moved around too much so got the infantino one which i love cause i hardly feel she is there!

I have used a Baba sling with three of my babies - they practically lived in it. Fantastic and I used it right up until they were almost one... Mine was about $80 and worth every cent!

Danni face him toward you!

Danni, Liebling doesn't like facing me unless he's tired - he was forward facing from about 2 months. You can put Mason forward facing and cuddle him so his head stays up (I have to do this if Lieby falls asleep).

[Danni]

ok! wow...

Nikki showed me how to use the HAB properly today. I walked from her lounge room to the bathroom to check us out in the mirror and Mason fell asleep!! He was in such a deep sleep he didnt even stir when I put him in the car 45 mins later!

Im gunna stick with the HAB. I loved the safe feeling but it was tricky getting it on myself. I hope I get the hang of it soon.

thanks guys

well done Mason! Danni you'll be right with a bit of practice.

Great to hear it was a success for you Danni. Ashton loves being the HAB too specially on cold winter mornings when I can also put on my big jacket and do that up half way over the HAB, when we walk to and fro kindy

Love

Wow, thats great Danni!!!! Yay for the HAB!!

[Astrolady]

I chose it myself

Love

Danni- I use the HAB almost everyday. Now that I can get it on pretty quickly, I use wihen shopping and taking the girls to school. Nicholas always falls asleep in it, and when he is unsettled during the day, I pop him in there and I can get stuff done around the house.

If i got a HAB would both my DH and i use it he is a musclie type of guy, well built... didn't know if i would have to get another one for him.. some slings i have looked at you have to get bigger ones for big guys. DH really likes the idea of baby wearing
