I'm all about wearing babies, too. I started with a homemade ring sling (pattern from elizabthleedesigns.com). Shortly after baby #4 was born I switched to a basic wrap and I find it much more versatile and comfortable. My first was a regular cotton weave but I've since found I like the give of the knit better. Either way, it's probably the least expensive way to go - 3 yards of fabric from the clearance rack cost me $3. A sheet would work, too, if you have extra. I cut the 3 yards in half lengthwise and sewed them end to end, finishing the edges. The end result is 6 yards of fabric that are easy to wrap up and carry Baby in once you learn how. I get comments everywhere I go and always give them as gifts to new moms. With the ring sling I only ever could figure out how to nurse on one side comfortably, but since this is symetrical, I just flip Baby over when he/she's done on one side. My husband likes to wear it, too and either one of us can comfortably carry a toddler on our back or hip in it. Because there's no extra padding, it also packs well when you're not using it. <BR/><BR/>Well, there's that...<BR/>~K~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401587244734109896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229583188222536563.post-14653469852916008392008-11-23T14:00:00.000-08:002008-11-23T14:00:00.000-08:00Hi there~Christine G.~I forgot to say Thank You fo...Hi there~<BR/>Christine G.~<BR/><BR/>I forgot to say Thank You for the helpful web site~ I added it to my blog post.

I was looking at the Moby wraps at Target...they seem like they would be hard to wrap up,so much fabric to deal with?<BR/>I would love to get a carrier that baby can go in the center of my body or on my back eazily? Olivia is 13 mo old,(22#). I want to use a carrier I can move around in and do chores with her. My sling is awkward for that. The sling,I use at church and when we are out. I love it.<BR/><BR/>What do you recomend?<BR/><BR/>Peace in Christ,<BR/>GeorgiannFruitful Harvesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874070640737395114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229583188222536563.post-64513303036701998332008-11-22T01:48:00.000-08:002008-11-22T01:48:00.000-08:00My ring sling is my favorite, because it's beautif...My ring sling is my favorite, because it's beautiful, versatile, and I can nurse in it discreetly. I love all my carriers (I have at least ten slings, wraps, and mei tais) but I don't have a Baby Bjorn or Snugli. I do not like those, and have had SO many people tell me theirs is hurting their back! It's because baby's entire weight is hung on your shoulders. Other more natural carriers distribute it much better.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to let you know about the contest I am having right now. It is for a two week taster pack of Glow Mama drinks! They are great for moms and pregnant women. Stop by and enter when you have a minute :-)<BR/><BR/>http://babyfingers.blogspot.com/2008/11/glow-mama-drink-made-just-for-you.htmlJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154415218933660079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229583188222536563.post-79743424671687220682008-11-21T21:03:00.000-08:002008-11-21T21:03:00.000-08:00Cute Mama and baby.

My carrier of choice, however, is a german-style woven wrap (brand names such as Didymos or Storchenwiege). You can do so many different carries in them (back, front, hip, etc.) and it is incredibly comfy. I used to post a lot at www.thebabywearer.com as ChristineG and have lots of wrap pics there. :)Christine Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998913848636417271noreply@blogger.com
