Huggababy Babysling

I've loved this sling! I got it to make breastfeeding more discreet when DS was about 4 months. I really wish I had discovered it earlier. DS absolutely loves it, he's 11 months and he feeds and sleeps in it and we walk miles with it. Whenever I pick it up he kicks his legs and squeals to jump in. would recommend.

Really easy to use, easy to breast feed in, and easy to change positions, but as all the weight is on one side it is not great for my back. DD's breathing sometimes sounded labored in the newborn position. DH prefers this sling to our wrap as you can pick it up and go. I prefer the wrap as the weight is more evenly distributed.

I find this sling really uncomfortable for the newborn positions. It pulls on my neck and I can't get baby in easily. Also find because its on the side you have much less flexibility and movement. Would not recommend anyone with any back problems to use this sling.

This is the most comfortable of all slings that I have tried. Soft and natural and my baby could just curl up and look at me as I got on with what I needed to do. I used it with my toddler too while he sat on my hip and also with my second child. I walked for miles with my baby close to me, even climbed Tintagel Castle on a camping trip. I would recommend this to any new to be mum!

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.
