Hey out there I am shopping for a sling and wondering if anyone uses a sling to carry their babies around in. I have been looking at Lucky Baby sling, I've been using a front pack, but at 5 months my dd is just too heavy for my back. If you use a sling which one do you have and recommend. I just like these Lucky Baby ones because the material is fun and they look really simple to use, I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks.

Unfortunately my dd didn't like it, I loved the idea of the sling unfortunately it didn't work out and I ended up wasting the money because I couldn't return it too much time had pa__sed ( I had purchased it when I was pregnant)

I am pretty sure my dd will like it because she loves to be held, and I am fine w/ toting her around, they just look so comfortable, I think my decision will be w/ the sprout pouch. Thanks.

My Daughter LOVES ours - and actually mine is home made - it is just a double sheet folded in half and tied! I can do about 6 diffrent carrys with it and she LOVES them! There are a ton of websites that show you how to tie it but basically it is over one sholder and under another - tie it so that the pouch sits under your bust and then drop the baby it in the pouch! Dont Forget to fold the sheet in half first! I found this way works best and then I double knot it and put the knot on my back and I can adjust it by how much fabric is the pouch! Whether you make one or buy one they are great!! maybe try the sheet first to see if your babe likes it! Good luck!

Well the Lucky Baby ones are $35(or so) depending on what you want I ended up ordering one of the Sprout Pouch ones because I liked the fabrics and they came in stretch(and I am a bit of a fashion freak, so I wanted a cute one). If I like it I may branch out and try others, the Sprout Pouch was a little spendy at $56, but I really thought about and researched and if I wear it a couple of months it will have paid for itself. The Lucky Baby ones are really cute, but they don't have stretch. I think my dd will be happy, she DOESN"T like to put down, especially lately, she's cutting more teeth so she's been sad : ( So I figure I'll try this. My SIL did say I could tie a sarong over my shoulder, but it didn't feel secure enough to me. For me I figure the the $56 is worth it for my hands being freed up and my babe being safe, there also free shipping included. I may end up trying to do the tie thing, but I don't know. My SIL recommended the Maya Wrap, but I didn't like the idea of rings and a bunch of fabric hanging all around my body and my baby(again it comes down to my look), silly I know.

Hi Erynn21. I have a ring sling from rockingbabyslings.com and I absolutely love it. I know you said that you were not interested in the fabric hanging down, but if you b___stfeed it is great, because you can throw the excess fabric over dd when she is nursing and no one will never know what you are doing. They are pricy, but well worth it. They are also very fashionable!! I bought a brown one and my husband got me a pair of brown boots to match!!! good luck.
