If I could share only one item that helped me tremendously throughout the first 1-2 years of raising my babies (aside from proper nutrition), it would be a device in which to wear my baby. Otherwise known as a sling. There are several types of carriers, varying from ring slings, pouches, mei teis and so on. You won’t know what is just right for you and your baby until you try it, and I recommend doing so at least once. I can almost guarantee you will not turn back.

I’ve tried all of the various styles, and have LOVED only two of them. One of them being the Baby So Smart Every Day Silk Demi Sling. I cannot say for certain how I would like it with a newborn, as I have not had the opportunity to do so. However, I feel confident that it would be just as comfortable. My baby (toddler?) is 17 months old and weighs 22 lbs. I wear her around the house for at least 1 hour per day. She is a baby who likes to be close to her mama, and wants to be held while I get some of my chores done. I am able to oblige with the help of my Baby So Smart sling. We wear it on walks and I’ve worn her at the numerous fall festivals we’ve been to recently. Besides the comfort and closeness factor that my daughter and I are able to share with this sling I love the fact that is so portable. You fold it up and stick in the diaper bag and are good to go! No bulky strollers taking up space. Lastly, but not unimportant, its how beautiful this sling is. The fabric is the smoothest silk and the print is gorgeous. I have not gone anywhere without receiving at least 2 compliments on my sling.
