Karina's post got me wondering about those backpack and front carrier thingys for babies. Does anyone use them?? Also there is something called a sling which looks very interesting. I have seen it being used. Looks comfy for the baby. A woman I know was raving about them. She said it was the best thing ever. Any opinions on these options?
I second the vote. The Baby Bjorn can be a godsend if your baby is clingy, fussy or colicky.
I tried the sling but it just did not work for me. My son was maybe to active? I don't know. I'm also very slim, and found the sling dug into me far worse than the carrier.
I my Bjorn. Both my girls loved being in it. They'd sleep in it half the time. They were a lifesaver for me. W/ Sophia, my youngest, I got the Bjorn w/ the extra long straps. Good for tall people. I fit into the regular Bjorn, but got the XL straps hoping my husband would carry her in it too. Nope, he'd look "gay". So silly. He likes the backpack. I forget who makes it, but backpacks are nice for dads who don't want to look "gay".
