Which sling do you prefer?

Hi, I am with sunshine_sieben - learning how to use it properly takes 15 minute - once you do it a few time with the DVD that comes with it - it's the best thing since sliced bread! AND it is the best one for your back as well as the baby.

Hi there

I have just used a Hug a Bub to carry my one year old granddaughter around Japan. It was fantastic. I tried a sling on my back and also the HAB, but i liked the HUB because I was actually wearing it. It goes over your shoulders and back and the support made it very comfy. I used it nearly everyday and it was so easy to get around wearing it. We were in the snow and walked everywhere. It also left my hands free for her three year old brother. Daisy faced outwards if awake or inwards if it was nearly sleeptime. One day she slept for two hours on me.

I have a bubba moe - and found that in the front carry- my newborn HATED it because she hated to lie down (reflux) and she is a long baby so was kinda squished in there.

And it pulled on my shoulder and she wasn't particularly heavy either.

Personally I love the BubbaMoe and so does the little guy. I guess it's horses for courses though, because Mr. J is 4 weeks old, 56cm (reasonably big I'm told) and has reflux. I think little guy loves the squish.

I've put him in an Eden Meitai (sp?) once and he screamed his head off. I'll try again, but maybe once he has more head control. One thing about the BubbaMoe is that it can be lifted off and on very easily. I swapped him from me to DP without waking him. Also, when he wakes and starts to grizzle, we just lift it off and lay it down on a flat surface and he's quiet for the next 5 minutes while he adjusts to stretching out. Perfect for that quick window to prepare for a feed.

if you LIKE the HAB you will LOVE the close carrier
