Does anyone have a Didymos sling?

How did you find it? Worth the money? Thanks

Also can you feed in it? Would a Maya ring sling be better?

I had one. I loved it. Worth every penny . I got mine from www.bigmamaslings.co.uk/zen-cart/didymos-wraparound-baby-sling-size-6-p-131.html.

I managed some feeding in it but my DS2 didn't like to be lying down in the sing in general, and that included feeding.

I used one for DS2 and it was good. Really easy to carry him, even when he was over a year and fairly big. Generally comfy. Certainly could feed in it. Main drawback I found was it is a bit of a faff to tie - wrap slings just are. I've got a Closer sling for DS3, which is good. Comfy and easy to use as it's already got the cross-over bit done (iyswim). not as easy to feed in and I'm not sure it'll be quite as good to carry in when he's big. although i do carry 2 1/4 yo ds2 in it and it's fine.
not sure how much that helps.

I have a woven wrap (Storchenwiege, but basically the same thing only a little cheaper). I love it now DS is bigger but it is more difficult to use than something like a babyhawk (my day-to-day in-and-out sling).

How old is your baby? If you're comfortable with wrap slings or willing to invest a bit of time into practicing tying, it would be a great birth-toddler sling. If you won't use it every day or you want to take your baby in and out a lot, maybe look at the alternatives.

At around the same total price you could get a nice simple ring sling (like the maya wrap) which I think is great for newborns and excellent for breastfeeding in AND a mei tai type like a babyhawk. These together would do you from birth to pretty old baby (depending on size) and are easier to use.

Baby is (a big) 12 weeks. He was born 10lb 5oz and is now wearing 3-6/6-9m clothes Maybe i'll try a maya first, I am totally new to slings. Thanks
