Babies: 0 - 3 Months

hot sling owners come in

So I am a baby wearing addict, but up until now I mainly use the Moby or Bjorn. I've had a hotsling, but Graham hated the newborn hold cause his head was hidden. Anyway i tried the front carry today, and he loved it. So for those who have one, when / how do you use your hotsling (for errands, around the house etc.)? It doesn't seem as secure as the Moby so I was just curious.

  • We use it when we are out and about.  We bottle feed so I find it really easy to do the front carry and feed on the move.

  • I use it all the time.  DS doesn't like front carry at all anymore, and has never liked the bjorn, so I wear him on my hip and he loves it.  When he was comfortable in the front carry, I felt he was quite secure- I've never had a Moby though, so not sure how that would compare.  I don't feel he's as secure on my hip- but I hang onto him with one arm anyhow and use the sling more to bear his weight.  He's a big boy for a 3.5 month old at over 16 lbs so any bit of help is great ;)

  • I keep my hotsling in my diaper bag incase Kennedy wants out of her stroller.  My Moby is my pirmary carrier.  It is way more comfortable.  My DD is getting heavy!
  • we just ventured outside for the first time w/ the hotsling to take the dog for a walk.  DD really seemed to like the front carry, although my only complaint is that I can't see her face to tell if she has spit up.

  • DD is 5 months, so we now use the front carry and hip/side carry.  I'll use it around the house, while I'm tidying up, doing laundry etc.  Outside the house, I put her in when grocery shopping, running errands, etc.  For longer walks (like with the dog), I'll  use the Bjorn.
