Two Under 2

Recommend your baby sling.

Just found out we're expecting #2 at the end of april! I didn't get a sling of any kind for ds because needing my hands wasn't an issue. Thinking we'll need one this time around. What worked best for you?

    I never used a sling. I didn't feel as secure with LO in it and I've heard to many safety issues about it.

    I did, however, use a moby-type wrap in the beginning with both my kids and then moved on the Ergo and baby bjorn. Loved all of them.

  • Maya wrap.  Great for nursing the baby and having at least one hand free!

  • Check to see if you have a local Babywearing International group near you. They'll be able to help you choose a carrier (or 2) and they have a lending library where you can borrow things for a month at a time. Also, Paxbaby.com has a WIDE selection of carriers. I personally love a wrap conversion ring sling! Though I used a boba wrap for the first 2 months and just kept it tied on all day. I will probably do that when I start watching my niece in a couple of months. She's only 5.5 pounds!

  • I had a Moby at first, but I'm not a huge fan once they start getting heavier, it always felt unsafe after the newborn stage because it stretches with their weight. I'm also just not a fan of wraps and slings, I think they take too long to put on, especially if you've got two little ones needed your attention. I have a Baby Hawk Oh Snap for my toddler that I LOVE for back carry. For a newborn, I wore my 9 week old at the zoo in my SIL's Beco Gemini and I loved it so much and she was so comfy in it I ordered one the next day! It does front, back, or hip carry, and the straps can go any way you want them. For her narrow pelvis, I snapped in the bottom like you would for a front facing and she was much comfier than with her hips almost doing the splits in my much wider Hawk, but still spread enough to keep it from being a "crotch dangler."
