Hi everyone, some questions about carrying my 8 month-old DD... she is a pram-hater but is happy as a happy thing in a sling :)
I currently use a mei tei (Maya Tie) on loan from SIL - this generally is working OK for me, but is a bit faffy for DH's taste so thinking we should move to a SSC instead, for him to just clip and go. I have contacted our local sling library to see if I can borrow a couple but not heard back - unfortunately I work on the days the library is open for loans so can't get there in person.
Seems the ergo is popular here? V scared of ordering one without trying since they are pricey... DD is long and skinny and I'm tallish but average build, and DH is over 6ft - anyone out there think this sounds OK for an ergo or similar?!
Finally - this is a bit of a weird question, but what do your LOs wear on their feet when in a sling? I don't have any coats/long cardis that button over DD when she's on my front, and she doesn't have shoes yet as she doesn't walk (though she loves standing up if I hold her hands). For some reason it strikes me as a bit weird to buy her shoes at this age, but otherwise, if in tights/socks her feet seem awfully exposed to the elements, especially as it's getting so coooold now.
Thank you very much for any advice!
