do/did you use a baby sling?? if so....?
what brand/kind did you use?
was it padded...are they really hotter to wear??
any tips on usage??
was breastfeeding really easy and discreet with it??
i'm looking for one that's comfy and preferably around $50.
i want it for nursing in public or at home and for walks (live in warm climate).
thanks!!!
I have used an Over the Shoulder Baby Holder and a Mayawrap Mother Baby Sling.
Both are ring-style slings. The Baby Holder is padded. They Mayawrap is unpadded.
I used the padded one in the heat of the Central CA summer (110 + temps), and it worked just fine. I'd arrange us so the padded rail was between him and me and holding him AWAY from my body (instead of close to it), so he had air blowing on all sides.
I prefer the padded "rails" with small babies, as it gives a soft place to cradle their head, without worrying about the edge of the fabric cutting into them.
And yes, it's totally discreet to nurse in one. The only people who knew were the ones who asked. (One cashier comes to mind, who had the sense to ask "Eating or sleeping?" before leaning to take a peek. =D ) When Baby's nursing, the most anyone can see is a leg or arm sticking out.
My all-purpose sling wearing instructions, for ANY position:
1.) Hold the baby in your arms. Forget about the sling and hold the baby however you want to.
2.) With the sling adjusted as loose as it goes (if it adjusts, that is), drape it over the two of you.
3.) Forget about the sling and hold the baby however you want to.
4.) Now that you're comfortable again, seat the baby's butt firmly in the "bucket" of the sling. Don't worry about any other body part at first, just make sure the butt is contained firmly in the sling. (This may mean pulling some fabric up between their body & yours, or making sure one rail is firmly against the back of their legs... it all depends on how you're holding them.) For a cradle-carry, you'll kind of drop their butt in the hammock. For a kangaroo carry, you'll pull some up behind them and tuck their legs in. For a hip carry, you'll pull the edge up under their legs... etc. Just catch that butt!
5.) Pull the fabric up so the head and back are supported, and tighten. (If you're wearing a non-adjustable sling, and have too much slack, you can often "tighten" by tucking some fabric behind your arm or adjusting how it's sitting on your shoulder.)
Finally, a common mistake I see is women wearing their sling on their neck and shoulder.
It shouldn't touch your neck at all. It belongs on your ARM and shoulder. If you wear it too high, it gets uncomfortable fast. You may even experience tingling fingers. Keep it low on your shoulder.
Most of the slings I've seen range from $35-$50, often depending on fabric choice. (I think the price is so consistent because of the cost of that much fabric!)
I'd advise against the New Native, as most moms I've known who bought one complained that it stretched out too quickly. (It's a non-adjustable, pouch-style sling.) If you like the style of the New Native, consider a Hotsling instead.
