Sling Talk

mama with baby in sling


Things people have said to me whilst wearing S in the sling:

  • That's the best way to travel!
  • She looks comfortable!
  • He looks comfortable!
  • You've got something on you...
  • Is there something you want to get off your chest?
  • Isn't she heavy like that?
  • Nawwwww!
  • You're not still carrying her, are you?
  • I wish I could go about like that.
  • I bet that's difficult isn't it?
  • Doesn't your back hurt?
  • Don't you have a buggy?
  • There's a baby on you.

You get extra points if you come up with something amusing... or at least something I've not heard a million times before!

    I've been humming and ha-ing about whether or not to invest in a sling. Would you advise one? x

      Absolutely! I've used a sling with S since she was tiny, and love it.
      Practically, it's 100 times easier to get around busy shops without the buggy. But also, I think it's nicer for baby to be close to you. They're at eye level so can see more of what's going on, and S has literally never cried whilst in the sling. Plus if you're breastfeeding, you can do that while they're in the sling, and do the washing up at the same time!

    When DS was newborn I had a massive raincoat that I could do up over the sling (not covering his head, before anyone panics!). I was in the corner shop one day and an elderly gent kept staring at me. After a couple of minutes DS started grumbling so I undid the raincoat, at which point the gent exclaimed loudly "Well bugger me, that's a baby! I thought you were just really fat!".

    I would have said 'Doesn't that make your back hurt' So no extra points for me :-(

    S does look really comfy though, I definitely might have to invest in a sling for future kids.

    I've got a gauze woven wrap for when Baby C arrives and it came with a slightly fleecy winter wrap too... Can't wait! I've been practicing with teddy bears!xx
