[...] I can’t say the pillows really calmed my son. He still preferred me to carry him in arms or in my sling. But maybe he’s an anomoly. A century old tradition can’t be all wrong. [...]

[...] At lunch with friends over the weekend, talk turned to strollers. I had nothing to contribute since I’ve used slings since my son was 3 months old (and still am more than three years later). Stokke, Maclaren, Graco, Combi,…, the names just kept coming and the prices kept going up. One stroller discussed is priced at more than $1,000! [...]

river2sea72 – It’s true. Some kids really like to get down and run around. Mine likes clinging to me like a koala.

We started with a NoJo sling, which Sadie hated. The only thing she ever liked was the front pack Snugli, but once she started getting mobile, she didn’t want to be in it AT ALL. Very independent, that one. But I know plenty of parents who swear by their slings.

You have an amazing memory! I can never resist leaving a comment when I see a nice mama with her babe in a sling. Can you believe that was a year ago? Wow.

I am lucky that I’m a sturdy gal with a petite toddler.

Hmmm… Baby slings remind me of how we "met" online. Unfortunately for me, though, Cam outgrew the sling quite early. He just *never* liked being swaddled in any way.

Even when he was just born, he kept escaping his wrap, no matter how tightly and snugly anyone swaddled him. Even the midwives and nurses were surprised at how wriggly he was! I suppose, I probably couldn’t have put him in a sling for too long as he grew big so quickly (and I’m tiny!). He was 10kgs by the time he was 6-7 months old! And, I still had my torn muscles, bad back and all… :p

But, I digress… Anyway, another great tip/review! Thanks!
