Okay, am I the only one who can't seem to get a squirming newborn into a
sling? I tried to put her in sort of cradled, and she seems all squished up,
she doesn't seem to mind, and I have taken her out that way but it looks way
uncomfortable. Then I try to put her in more kangaroo carry facing me and she
just slips off to one side! I thought this sling was supposed to make my life
easier :)

fence around the now with a commanding view of the soon
to be. ~The Tick~

Okay, I have to laugh! Here it is 3 years later and I can't imagine life without a sling,and have taught lots and lots of women how to sling there babies. Nice to know that I have gained some useful skills as a mom, LOL!!
