could I have some advice on slings please?

[Kayshields]

Hi my baby is 3 months old now and I really hate the pram, so im considering getting a sling and a sling rain cover, does anyone have any advice on the best slings to buy?

There are so many to choose from! I would find out if there's a sling library near you and go and try some out. I really would advise against buying without trying for a week or so as everyone is so different and gets on with different things. The sling librarian will be able to advise and show you how to use them, too. Good luck, slings are fab :) still use one with my 2.5 yr old

Ok, you can copy and paste the url... :D

Lol thanks just a little green ill have a look now :)

I'd look at buckled carriers like Manduca, Beco, Rose&Rebellion, Ergo.

There are so many different styles to choose from. It is purely a matter of personal preference. However I would recomend that whichever one you choose ensure that your baby is sat in the knee to knee position (sometimes known a frog legged) otherwise it will put a strain on your back.

I used to struggle carry my 6 week old until I changed and she is now 10 months and I am still carrying her

I had a moby when ds was smaller, but have moved to a mei tai and really like it. Ds is 4 months but quite big for his age.
Got one on amazon cheap.

Ergo works for us. Best piece of baby kit I've bought and you can get a rain cover for it.
