BABY WEARING

I've always been a fan of baby wearing, even before baby girl's arrival! I've always liked the thought of being close to your baby (physically)while out and about, and I really do believe that it's probably one of the most comforting/comfortable natural things that a parent and baby can experience with each other. 

I read all the reviews on the different types and brands of baby carriers when I was pregnant so I knew exactly which ones I'd wanted to invest in.

Here are my thoughts on the baby carriers I have tried out so far:

(1) Moby - I had seen so many people use these and many mommies and daddies raved about them, but from my experience I have found the Moby to be quite difficult... this may just be me though and I haven't given it much of a chance since the "one" time I tried it out when H was only a newborn. I think we were both frustrated with it and I quickly handed it off to a friend of mine. (She however made it look easy!)

(2) K'tan - This was a lifesaver for me when H was just born! It has the same feel as the wrap carriers like the Moby, but might be considered the wraparound sling for dummies! I say this only because I found myself challenged with the long piece of fabric of the Moby and found the K'tan to be super easy to use! I carried around my one and half week baby through Disneyland and the resort quickly, safely and securely. This was an excellent sling during the earlier months, but my girl got to be so heavy my back couldn't handle it anymore. And so we go onto...

(3) Ergo - By far my favorite baby carrier! The Ergo is a soft structure carrier and is the most comfortable of all the carriers I've tried. I even purchased the extra zippered pouch, despite the pocket and zippered pouch already built in. I love that I can easily slide a sleeping baby in from carseat to carrier and she still feels comfortable while doing so. This is the perfect travel carrier since you can easily put it on and take it off with two simple belted clips! By far the best buy for us, so we even bought two!

(4) Rockin' Baby Sling - I recently borrowed this from my sister, since I've always wanted a ring sling. I thought I'd try it out before I invested in a ring sling for myself (maybe the Sakura Bloom). So far, we've only used it once and while H loved it, I have still to gather the strength to carry her out and about in it for hours on end, she is after all 19/20lb? I do however, like H, love the closeness I feel with her in the sling. Honestly she feels like a newborn in it with her little head popping out! I'll have to try it out a little more before I write and updated review.

And so I leave you with that for now. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to update you on more baby wearing products in the future!
