i love my sling my baby got fed walking along a beach on Sunday night it was lovely. the sling is great

i even managed to carry my 4 year old who is tall about half a mile in it without breaking my back and normally i cant lift him

as for co-sleeping i love it and highly recommend it

[smirnoff]

i havent ever used one! Glad you are liking it though

[princessjacs]

lol there fab

i used my sling today...but dd is getting so heavy, back breaking stuff!..but at least i could be hands free chasing after ds..

[trogette]

what kind of sling whassat? Sure we can sort you out with something that doesn't hurt as much, or tweak what you have... I carried my nearly-5yo round Lidl the other day, I think the weight distribution was better cos she's longer and thinner than my 20mo thunderthighs...

Crikey my kids have to walk once they can walk, it would kill me to carry a 5 year round.

Good for you though. I could never get on with slings, they always hurt my back too much, think they are good for trips to the supermarket though, I used to think that as soon as I turned my back someone would nick mine in their car seats balanced across the trolley.

trogget it can hurt my back but i am prone to a sore back (very sore infact) i have a freedom sling any ideas??

[Tess]

mine is a Babydan Clip n go front carrier...the one that was on here (in the comps) looked really comfy...
mine is comfy when they are newborn and face forward....but when they face the other way, im scared of them falling out, you know if i bend down etc...

I've a Ellaroo MT, Coorie and Ergo. The Ergo is good for my nearly 3yr old who is reluctant to walk when we need him to. He is also very good at TT's in public, easier to carry him

"Doh" :blusingan

[trogette]

aha. princessjacs, I'm thinking if you're prone to a bad back you probably need something two-shouldered, a wrap or ABC, and whassat, carriers like that tend to carry the baby quite low down in front, which can put lots of strain on your shoulders, so something that either puts the baby higher up, again a wrap or mt can do this, as can pouches and ring-slings, or something that puts more of the weight on your waist/hips like the Ergo or Patapum might be good.

Dd3 walks most of the time, obviously, but it was just a good solution at the time when they both wanted to ride in the trolley! Stops her from running round going 'can we get this Mummy?' too, lol
