BuBBa mOe sling :) Do you have one?

[suse]

Thanks Salsa!!

Ali, I'm glad you found something that suits you. I had exactly the same problem (not with the Bubba Moe, which I have only ever tried on, never used, but with the Baby Rock, which is very similar). They are great slings if you fit within the range of adjustability but many petite people find that they are unable to get them tight enough.

So what would you say is petite? Im 5'3 and about sz 10 when not preg.

I would call that quite petite. I'm 5'7" and about a size 10 with narrow shoulders and waist (post pregnancy I have gone from skinny to voluptuous which is rather entertaining, my hips sway and my boobs jiggle when I walk which is a novel experience... anyway... I digress).

I find a Bubba Moe or similar difficult to wear comfortably. Is there somewhere where you can try one? How do you find the Ergo? If you find it comfortable then possibly the Bubba Moe will work for you - Ergo doesn't work well on me because I have narrow, angled shoulders; the strap angle was too wide.

Otherwise, a ring sling might be worth considering.

I have a bubba sling (not sure if quite same as u over head leans on sholder baby can lie or sit depending on age) I get sore VERY quickly in it but is useful for quick things eg we have no off street parking so good for getting stuff and bubs in and out in 1 run!

Love the ergo!!!! Jacob is starting to get ratty in it after a while though.

I have a Baba Sling and love it - my bubba is only 2 months old though - I don't think I would use it much after 6 months with weight. But I have carried him around the supermarkets etc with no problems - he is a good size too 5.5kg.

HTH in some way - my friend has a Bubba Moe, she hasn't used it much.

Salsa - I am 5'4" and a size 8-10. I would call you petite.
