I don't know if anyone remembers me at all but I hung out here awhile ago but took a little break... I wanted to say hi and join the fun again :)

For anyone that remembers I did have my baby boy 6 weeks ago! His name is Dylan and here is a link to a gorgeous layout that Amy did of him... She did an AMAZING job :)

Any way I was wondering if anyone could recommend a baby sling or carrier (not sure of the right name). I am nursing and I would love something that would offer me a little bit of freedom. Not just for nursing but for around the house or out and about so I have my hands free when I need to get something done. Are there any particular ones that you all love or hate??

Thanks in advance :)
 
i know i bought mine off etsy where a lady on there made them. I think her name was loveyduds or something along those lines. Her carriers are great. I've given them as presents to first time moms and they love them :)
 
When I was back in baby mode, I always checked out baby bargain's website. They have a section dedicated to baby wearing and you'll probably get lots of great advice there! I can't remember the company that custom made mine, but you'll be sure to fine lots of options and opinions there!
 
I have no advice on where to buy, as I'm thousands of miles away, lol, but I LOVED my Moby. It's great for beginners, and perfect for new babies, soft and secure. I don't know how it would work out for nursing in, as I could never get the hang of that no matter what carrier I used, I always had to take him out!!

Congrats on your little guy, he's a cutie :D
 
You're probably going to get recommendations on twenty different kinds! ;)

My personal fav is the ergo baby carrier - and that's after the Baby Bjorn, two kinds of slings, Maya, Moby, and countless lectures by others on the safety or not of buying homemade carriers.

After I found it, I really wished I had had it all along. We're still using it - it converts to a back carrier - when we hike and snowshoe. HTH!

Big congrats on your little one!

I had a Mei Tai, custom made by a friend here:

I couldn't nurse in it, but I know she makes other types. The Mei Tai was great, I could just put her in, and I had FREE HANDS! It was miraculous, especially with two other ones aged 4 and 2 to contend with. I wore it for hours a day some days.

She does have other kinds, and I can vouch for her quality, it's amazing. My picture is in the Photo gallery, I had the fuschia brocade fabric with velvet straps.
 
I am a MOBY mama. I've tried hotslings, front carriers and a few others between my 3 kids (one being 7 weeks now). I love my moby, it is kind of big, but he fits great there are so many holds, I can nurse and chase after my older two at the same time and it doesn't hurt my back or shoulders! :thumbup:
 
I've heard great things about maya, moby, and ergo. My personal favorite was a BabyHawk Mei Tai. I know people have/can nurse in them, but I never did, since I didn't even know about baby carriers until Luke was about 15 months old. :)
 
I had one that was just bought for me at Target and I hated it. It only worked when he was little and it was so much work to get him into. I also had a huge piece of fabric and directions for how to tie it around me, I much prefered that one. Next time, I will get one from etsy, a moby wrap most likely.
 
I bought a Baby Hawk (babyhawk.com) and LOVE it. It was pricey, but I got to customize it all and it was worth EVERY PENNY!
