    For those with a close carrier....

    Ive used it a few times around the house....love it. Doesnt kill my back, i could happily walk around the shops for an hour or so without having to sit down coz im in pain....H looks comfy too...i think. Although today, i found his face was right in my chest....i felt like i was suffocating him with my boobs....do you turn babies head to left or right...? what is your babies head possi when in close carrier? Do i have it too high up or something ????

    Thanks in advance...

    Hi can I just ask if that is the sling made by a company called 'Close Parent'? I live in the UK and have been looking at slings and from what I can see on the net it is the same but I just wanted to make sure as from what you have said it sounds like a great sling and I am seriously thinking of getting it.

    poppy - it's the same one - I love mine - DS nearly always sleeps in it. I tend to use it when he's unsettled and it helps calm him very quickly and is so comfy for me too.

    mbear - DS seems to try to face plant my bbs too - he's sometimes just off a total face plant so on a slight angle - I can't try to turn his head as his refuses to let me turn it (really strong neck muscles already). I just make sure I can hear him breathing when he won't shift his head - does eventually do it himself.
