 Topic: baby sling
Posted: 24 May 2012 at 9:52pm |

Any preferred baby sling for newborns especially taking into account I'm a 'big girl' (not sure if that hinders sling wearing at all. I'm usually size 18ish. Also will have a 3 year old when bub is due to arrive, so would be good if sling made interaction with toddler easier. Hoping to not spend over $80, but any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks, Helen :)

Have a look on here 
Also depending on where you are there a quite a few groups around the country now where you cna go to try some out IRL first.
There's 3 in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Invercargill ( I'm sure I've missed one though)

Moby wrap! So comfy, plenty of material and lots of different ways to wear it.

Agree with Moby wrap!! I brought a natures sway sling despite the bad reviews and it really was a waste of money. i can't actually understand how anyone gets a newborn in there comfortably

There aren't any that I know of down there, but there isca group in Tauranga. This os their FB page. I domtik it's better to hav a play with different cariers IRL rather than buying one, hating it and being put off iykwim ?

I loved the moby with my first, but my second DS doesn't usually like to go in it. He does better in my mei tai although I don't feel it really has enough support for his neck when he falls asleep (could be the way I'm using it though).
So... if you can try with the bubs in question that would be my recommendation, although I expect you problem want to get it sorted before bubs arrives.
