Mei Tai, Pouch Sling or Ring Sling?
| Fri, 09-02-2005 - 4:58pm |
Hi! I'm new here. I have a wonderful 4 month old daughter who is getting really big! Almost 16 lbs. The snugli is wearing my back out and the car seat is heavy!. Is it too late to start her in a sling?
I wanted to know what you would recommend too?
Thanks! Joy

My 4 month old is also about 16 lbs and I've been using the Mei Tai carrier w/ no problems.

Its definitely not too late to start!
Until just recentely I was using the pouch sling with my 9 mon old (of course, he's only 15 pounds). Its the only one thats been comfortable since he came home. Its super easy to pop him in and out of. Plus he was very big on the facing out position.
Now though, I've been using my homemade ergo b/c he was too wiggly in the pouch.
Hope that helps!
