To Sling Or Not To Sling




...that is NOT the question. The question is which sling to choose. I have always admired the cute look of mama and baby 'slinged' up and now that I am actually thinking about using one (I have heard that it does and doesn't work for some moms and babies) I am finding there is an enormous and varied selection of these Kangaroo-resembling pouches on the market. Do I want one with a ring, do I want one that wraps, do I want a patterned or solid, do I even want one?....the options are endless.

The good thing is that from what I've gathered, the price is relatively equal across brands and variations, so the real question is which are the easiest and most comfortable for mama and baby to use and which do you find the most aesthetically pleasing.
Personally, as I get very excited about any baby item that can function as a fashion or design statement, I have picked my two favorites below, both available from http://www.giggle.com/.

MY FAVORITE PICKS


1. The Kyoto - mixed-patterned cotton sateen version for babies 8-35 pounds







2. The Market Sling - an eco-friendly hand-embroidered brushed organic cotton version






If you are interested in sifting through the world of slings, I found some great online websites that have unique selections.
