Does this look a ridiculous baby sling or is MM cack handed?

This just looks really uncomfortable for MM and her son? Does she have it on right? I had one of those babybjorns and it seemed a lot of less strappy and one sided than this contraption?

Jesus Christ - give it a rest!

Isn’t very tall? She’s 4 inches taller than the average woman. I’m the same height as her and it’s not huge but she definitely isn’t petite.

Also yes the carrier is wonky.

PineappleDanish · 21/01/2020 10:15

Far too loose. Not very secure!

mummumumumumumumumumum · 21/01/2020 10:16

Doesnt she look happy, and the photo of her looking down at her child happily. She doesnt give a fuck what any MN bash MM thread says and good for her.

How about instead of publically tearing down a woman (who has already been ripped apart for absolutely nothing), @Raspberry123, you just ignore and get on with your sad life.

I wasn't critiscising just an observation that he body wasn't very long Confused

Jeezoh · 21/01/2020 10:19

Maybe this type of scrutiny is exactly why they’ve scarpered off to Canada and can’t say I blame them!

theWarOnPeace · 21/01/2020 10:20

Yes, yes, it’s wonky. If anyone has ever used a sling and not had it go a bit funny, then please applaud yourself, you’re fucking supermum! I’m sure it started out right. Mine always did. The amount of times I had to stop what I was doing and sort my sling out, though, was ridiculous. She’s supporting him, she loves him and cares for him, he’s not dangling dangerously.

Seriously. I’d love to know when the Meghan-bashing will end?

PortiaCastis · 21/01/2020 10:20

FFS leave the woman alone, this bitching about her is foul and is ruining the site

Poor woman

Something on the tv this morning says that they will get paped more now they are in Canada than in the UK. Is this true?

Yes because the royal family and media have an agreement about publication. Now they have stepped down, that has stopped which is why we are suddenly getting articles about who Archie’s grandparents are and of Meghan out walking with Archie in a sling.

Haworthia · 21/01/2020 10:21

It looks like she’s slipped it off one shoulder so the paps can get an unrestricted shot of her face.

Somebodystired · 21/01/2020 10:21

I'm glad to see her looking so happy and at ease.

I can find several photos of me and my friends wearing a sling not quite perfectly if you're interested in seeing those OP?

Straycatstrut · 21/01/2020 10:21

Yeah but her legs look amazing.

The baby looks like a doll, doesn't look like a real child. Exact same position every picture.

Raspberry123 · 21/01/2020 10:22

I'm not saying its good or bad I'm just saying it looks uncomfortable for them both.
How about instead of publically tearing down a woman (who has already been ripped apart for absolutely nothing), is this tearing down?? Pointing out something looks uncomfortable? Wowzer..

Ffs - the woman can't do anything right as far as some bitches people are concerned.

TossACoinToYourWitcher · 21/01/2020 10:23

FFS seriously? I bet you don't look a million dollars every time you step out of the house either OP.

Shirazza · 21/01/2020 10:24

Agree, 100%.

Lana1234 · 21/01/2020 10:24

She did a better job than me with a sling could never figure it out or get it right when mine was a baby. She's had so much criticism, this is just unnecessary. I read the comments on that daily mail article and people are obsessed with hating her it's weird

theWarOnPeace · 21/01/2020 10:25

How about we get some paparazzi to follow you around and take photographs of you, your parenting and anything else we fancy and then we can publish them on the internet and all speculate about whether you are doing things right?
PS - Those shoes you are wearing look really off to me. Are you sure you’re wearing them right?

Yes to this. I can’t imagine al the stupid things I’d be accused of, if I was hounded by the paparazzi! I shut my fingers in my front door yesterday, and then almost immediately tripped over my own foot! I dread to think how that would have played out in the gutter press, “drunken mum falls over while in charge of three helpless infants”. As I said above, I was constantly shuffling my slings about, I remember once having to ask someone in a shop to hold the baby for a minute while I sorted one of them out, I think it was one of the wrap ones. I gave up on them eventually because they were so annoying, and I’m always amazed at people who prefer them!

Chillyourbeans · 21/01/2020 10:26

Oh fantastic, I'm so glad we've found a new reason to take a pop at her Hmm

rollonoctober · 21/01/2020 10:26

For the record I wasn't Meghan bashing, I'm fairly neutral on her and Hazza. Would have had the same reaction to any "celeb" pictured looking so uncomfortable in a sling. She's still having to support him with her arm, when the whole point of a sling is to have your hands free.

But I do accept that she has had a rough ride with the press, so any observations about her are likely to been seen to be "bashing" regardless of intent, which is a shame.

RonaldMcDonald · 21/01/2020 10:27

I was rubbish with the sling. I could never seem to fit them into it properly and spent my entire time worrying about suffocation or limbs being broken off
She looks like a normal mum with that sling
Also all the she slipped it off to get a photograph taken is just bs.
Have you considered that the person who last used it was Harry?
Every time my husband used our sling I took at least a week to get it right again
Is there no possibility this is the case with her?

Raspberry123 · 21/01/2020 10:27

I'm happy for Somebodystired to show how its gone wonky for you. TBH I didnt know they were such tricky things. We had the bog standard babybjorn and there wasn't really that much to go wrong.
But maybe some of these other contraptions are more complicated?
