One of my absolute most favorite, don’t know what I would have done without it, total best buy baby item is my sling. Maxwell spends hours every day in the sling and he loves it. He’s always calm in the sling just checking out the world around him as I walk around the house or outside. We’ve taken lots of neighborhood walks with him in the sling and he naps better there than anywhere else. I love having him right near me all the time and I know he likes it too! The sling is also a great conversation starter. We’ve walked to Starbucks many, many mornings with him in the sling and every time at least one person will comment on how neat it is and how they can’t believe there’s a tiny baby in there! The barista calls it my “baby bag”! 🙂 Unfortunately, Maxwell isn’t quite as tiny now and he’s starting to get a little heavy! But, the sling is great because I can just start carrying him in a different position once he can hold his head up and sit on his own.
I’ve done some reading and feel there are so many positives to “baby wearing” as some call it. Here’s an interesting article from Dr. Sears discussing the benefits of slings: Dr. Sears
I just love that Maxwell is content in there and I still have 2 hands free. A win-win for all involved!
The sling I have is by Hotslings. Unfortunately, the company is no longer producing new products but you can still find plenty on the internet.
I have these two prints:

Happy camper!
Have a great weekend!
He even liked being in the sling with me when we were in Dallas! I only wish I’d had one when you and Keath were babies!
Cozy baby!
Maxwell in sling = no crying. Great formula. Can’t wait to get hom this afternoon and relieve Mom of some baby time. No ashes and switches for her this X-mas!
I’m kinda surprised you haven’t made these yourself…I remember that grosgrain ribbon + tank from years ago!
