Frequently Asked Questions:
What's the best baby sling/carrier out there? Which is your favorite?
There are so many baby slings to chose from - I have no idea which one to get!
I need one that will provide good back support but will also be ideal for nursing. Also, I'll need one that grows with the baby, as I plan on using it for a while.
I've looked into the Peanut Shell and the Moby Wrap so far. Both seem okay, but the Moby Wrap doesn't seem ideal for nursing.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Oh, and if anyone happens to use a good sling that is sizable, that's an extra perk as my husband will wear it from time to time, too.
: )
I own both the Peanut Shell sling and the Moby Wrap. I like them both, but for different reasons.
The sling is great for quick trips to the store or for little walks out side, but I don't use it for much more than that. I find that after a short time it really starts to hurt my shoulder. All the weight of the baby is hanging on that one shoulder just isn't all that comfortable. Also, with a sling you don't really have your hands free. The arm on the side that the sling is resting on is somewhat pinned down and you always feel like you need to keep a hand on your baby. But the sling is easy and super quick to put on. FYI: My baby did not like the sling until she was big enough to sit in it with her legs hanging out the bottom (4 months old). She did not like to be all squished and cozy like some babies.
The Moby wrap is so much more comfortable to wear. I can go for hours with this carrier on. It feels more like your baby is part of you (kinda like when you were pregnant). The weight is very evenly spread out on both your shoulders, back and waist. With this carrier, you truly have your hands free. You never feel like you have to hold on to your baby and it is just super comfortable to wear! But it does take along time to put on - not hard to do, just takes longer than throwing on a sling. If you do want to use this when you are going out, I would recommend putting it on before you go out otherwise you will be dragging the ends on dirty ground as you try to put it on in the parking lot (I've tried it!)
As for nursing in these carriers, I never was able to get that to work for me with either of these. It probably had to do with the fact that I had to help my baby a lot to get her positioned and because my baby did not like to be in the sling when she was very little.
If I had to chose only one - which is a very hard decision- I would go with the Moby. It is more comfortable by far and has so many fun positions to try.
Hope this helps. Happy Babywearing!
