I'm not stalking you I swear.....

I didn't even think about it before I had Darcy, but when she was born and my arms nearly fell off from holdng her all the time, it took me about 4 weeks to figure out that on might be a good idea.

I bought a baby bjorn off ebay. Not everyone's cup of tea, but honestly I loved it. SHe was secure and snug and I wore her in it until she was about 6 months old. It certainly got it's use. Dh liked it too. SOme people hate them because they don't support the back. I am quite strong though and it wasn't a propblem for us. It was easy on and easy off, and Darcy loved being in it. I wore her for 8hours regularly.

However, it did open up my eyes to baby wearing and this time I'll be prepared.

I would love some of the flashier slings and meiteis, but finances will just not allow it.
I have made a ring sling out of some fabric I had left over from something, and next time I'm in Sydney I'm going to buy 6m of cotton jersey to make a wrap type one (HAB sorta). I will get 2 from the width it comes so I'm splitting it with my sister. That way I haven't wasted money I don't have if bubba hates it.....
The sling for easy on/easy off at daycare etc short trips, and the wrap for feeding, long wearing etc.
