Slingling
*Andrew and Jude*
My all time favorite baby care item: The Sling. My friend Amy made Andrew and I slings when Jude was born- 49er’s print for Andrew and an olive green color for me. By far the most used gift/baby item we own. When we took Jude on our trip to Thailand as a baby I started calling him my ’slingling’ because he only seemed content in his little perch on mama in the sling. It turns out that ‘ling’ in Thai means monkey- which I thought was pretty cute- my little sling monkey:).
Our slings are ‘ring sling’ style- easy to adjust and has a handy little pocket for keys. A few websites with great slings and baby wearing tips:
*Wear Your Baby- has instructions to make your own sling and ways to wear baby
*Super cute patterns, a bit expensive but fair compared to other designer slings- Hotslings
*Another website with instructions to make your own sling- Mama’s Milk
*Owie & I on Mother’s Day*
Show your face Owie!!!
