Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Love this - it's comfortable for both me and baby, easy to pop her in and out, and could even breastfeed in the early days - only wish I'd got it sooner. Once you've got the hang of how to tie it, it's a piece of cake, though it did take a couple of viewings of the DVD to master the technique. My baby loves being snuggled in and often goes to sleep in it, which is very nice for both of us.

I bought mine second hand from another Mumsnetter, which made it good value - it's quite pricey if you buy new, though comparable with other slings/carriers. Last but not least, you can sling it into the washing machine and comes up good as new.

dd is now 12 but I remember this as our best purchase ever and used it from 3 months to 3 years (after abandoning a front carrying sling which was impossible and uncomfortable.)

We live in a hilly town where many shops have steps, so it was preferable to a pram/buggy. We also did many long distance walks with baby, stopping to feed in a field on the way (happy days.)I could change from sleeping to awake position easily, and it was a fixture in our lives.

This was great - our first child would go to sleep almost instantly when placed in this sling and then we had both hands free to do other things in comfort.

It was very easy to lay her down without her waking. All you need to do is pull the strap over your head.

I loved this sling. Although it took a bit of getting used to (what baby equipment doesn't?!) once I got the hang of it I loved being able to pop Sam in it and take him about with me anyway. I fed him in it and it was brilliant on holiday as he could just sit on my hip wherever we were (especially good at the airport with pushchair checked in).

Really easy to use and my babies love it. Great way of soothing them if they're getting grumpy and tired.
