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?

For the record I like MM (suits fan) and I'm ambivalent to Harry but I would have thought she could buy a decent sling which didnt have so many complicated straps all over the place?

And people wonder why they went away. Ffs get a grip people. Who cares?! Seriously.

“The baby looks like a doll”, I’ve heard it all now! Yes I’m sure Meghan stuffed a cabbage patch kid into a sling just so she could get papped Hmm

BertieBotts · 21/01/2020 10:31

He's too big for it, that's all. It doesn't have leg support and at 8 months and chunky by the looks of him it won't be a supportive type of sling. She'd be better off with something like an Ergo.

But who cares? It's not like she's dangling him by one ankle. Maybe she finds it fine?

Also, you can do a sort of loose carry like that if you want to feed with the child in the sling. Perhaps she's done that to get him to sleep and then didn't want to tighten it again.

Has anyone said the baby looks cold yet?? My bingo card needs filling! Grin

ThreeRandomWords · 21/01/2020 10:32

Clearly staged photos. No idea why people are defending her. Who cares whether Archie is comfortable, as long as we can see the "privacy seeker" grinning like the cat that got the canary? And what a surprise to see a photo of her out with her baby whilst the Cambridges host their first Buckingham Palace reception.

TheDeep · 21/01/2020 10:32

This is getting ridiculous now.

Purplequalitystreet · 21/01/2020 10:33

My thoughts were "They look happy. Good for them" and "Wow Archie is huge" (for the record, I only think that because my DS is on the small side. I'm not fat shaming a baby!). Yes he has slipped over a bit, but he's fine. She has 2 dogs and a wriggling baby. No way could I manage that gracefully!

Namethecat · 21/01/2020 10:33

They have walked away from public scrutiny . I get that it is early days and the press are still seeing them as a bit topic , but surely mn can now calm down and leave them alone.

BlueJava · 21/01/2020 10:33

She looks happy, her baby looks fine and isn't crying, her dogs look happy. Archie will have so much love and the best of everything, I don't think we need to worry! Smile

ohfourfoxache · 21/01/2020 10:34

FFS how many more ways are people going to find to put her down?

No wonder they’re stepping back.

There are a lot of posters here atm who are making themselves look like nothing more than mean girls. Getting ready pissed off with it now.

theWarOnPeace · 21/01/2020 10:34

is this tearing down?? Pointing out something looks uncomfortable?

Do us a favour, OP. ”You pointed out” using the words ‘ridiculous’ and ‘cack handed’. Chucking in a link to an inflammatory Daily Fail article for good measure. If you truly believe you were just gently musing on someone being uncomfortable, then you need to have a word with yourself. Nobody, who has been hounded relentlessly by the press, married to someone whose mother was killed while being chased by paparazzi, needs anyone taking pictures of them and then for you to call them ridiculous and cack handed. Totally unnecessary. Enough is enough. Leave her the fuck alone. You’re a ridiculous and cack handed parent - or do I have no business saying that to you? No. Didn’t think so.

Horrible post of yours

Bluntness100 · 21/01/2020 10:36

Going to Canada isn't going to stop her getting papped. Particularly when you realise she's currently in Canada and has the paps following her walking. It's only going to get worse for them, because the royals had an agreement with the media about their privacy, which is why there was no photographs of them on their Canada break. The press had them and didn't publish,

It's about to get a shit load worse as they've lost that protection, so if they've gone to Canada to escape it they've made a very bad decision,

And I'd agree, yes it looks uncomfortable how she is carrying her child but who cares, as long as they are both safe, comfortable and happy.

I can't imagine how hard it must be to be walking with dogs, a baby in a sling, body guards and the press following you.

theWarOnPeace · 21/01/2020 10:38

And what a surprise to see a photo of her out with her baby whilst the Cambridges host their first Buckingham Palace reception. should she have stayed home on that day? She’s got dogs and a baby, who need fresh air and exercise - and perhaps she wanted some, too!

This thread is bollocks.

OutFoxxedByABadger · 21/01/2020 10:38

For fuck's sake stop perpetuating clicks for that awful rag and get your fucking nose out of another mum's business Angry

NegroniOnIce · 21/01/2020 10:40

@ThreeRandomWords Nice. Very nice. And considering that you, in a previous post, asked people to 'not be too unkind' to you - kind of makes your horrible snarky post here a bit of a mystery doesn't it?

roisinagusniamh · 21/01/2020 10:41

It took me three attempts, as in three babies,to get the hang of the baby sling. Tricky things.
A push chair is easier.

Sparklingbrook · 21/01/2020 10:42

Someone make it stop.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 21/01/2020 10:43

She probably tilted it so she could fully show off the massive, fuck off grin she's permanently wearing now she's far away from the freaks and weirdos in the UK. 💁🏻‍♀️

MaxNormal · 21/01/2020 10:44

No wonder she left. This was headline news in the DM, with 14000 comments of vitriol. She looks a lot fucking happier away from the sick society that is the UK.

memememe · 21/01/2020 10:45

@bertiebotts it is an ergo.

for all of you wondering. its a good sling, mm is wearing in the forward facing position and i expect baby archie fell asleep and she has turned him in facing. or maybe she turned him when she saw the paps. she just hasnt converted the sling to the other way. prob too difficult to do with a sleeping baby and 2 dogs!! hope that helps

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 21/01/2020 10:45

I'm sure Meghan will get right on all the criticisms as soon as she logs on to MN in the morning.

BestBeforeYesterday · 21/01/2020 10:49

I really don't envy the royals, they can't even get off a plane or go for a walk in the woods in peace. Not only do they get papped, people also start threads about them on forums about wonky slings ffs.

ShirleyPhallus · 21/01/2020 10:52

I would have thought she could buy a decent sling which didnt have so many complicated straps all over the place?

Who fucking cares. Seriously. How sad to you have to be to start (yes another!!) thread about this
