I'm thinking of buying a baby sling for the new baby. There are so many to choose from! With dd I just used a plain snugli but the slings seem like they would be more comfortable and easy to use. Have any of you used a sling? If so, what kind did you use? Was your baby comfy in it?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Maya Wrap. It has unpadded rails which is nice with the heat and there's not so much bulk. I can also pull the tail out of the rings and I have a place to change baby, a blanket, a shoping cart belt, etc. I can also make a loop and put is around a waist to have a "leash". It's very versatile and I still carry Taniyah in it.

We just bought a snuggli type sling at the store and we loved it when jamison was tiny....derrick would use it more with him than me and it was manly enough for him!!!! But I do recomend them!

i used a peanut shell when titus was a newborn now i use the mei tai. i love them both. there are so many to chose from. here is a really good site that might make the choice a little easier. http://www.thebabywearer.com/

I have a maya wrap that I use when I travel with Val...I dont mind it but i have a hard time using it because I'm 5'1 and have huge boobs so its really hard to get it to sit right across my back...I didnt really use it alot when she was small so I'm gonna try it again when we have another but she can help me more now holding on so I'm more comfortable using it now...

I have a new native that I use a lot and I love it. I can get housework done and the baby just rides with me.

Thanks, everybody! I will definately check out the sites you've all suggested. So far, I kind of like the Hotslings because they seem so easy to use. I just wish there was somewhere around here that sold them so I could try one on before I buy it. Many of the slings are very size-specific and I have no idea what size I'll be after the baby. Hopefully not too big :ohno :)

I love slings & used them with DD until she was a little over 3.

Besides the above mentioned, I also liked the OTSBH.

I made my own Maya Wrap style slings...I have several, if I find fabric I like then i make it :) LOL

Anyone want one...PM me!

I wish I would've seen this earlier! I just ordered a mayawrap adjustable pouch...the "low cost option" of course. I don't even know what kind of fabric I'm going to be getting... I really hope it's not pink :teehee
