Lifft Slings

A couple of months back, I was sent one of these super stylish Lifft slings to try out with not so little baby Nia, now just over 10 months. Originally spotted on Babygadget last year, I know it sounds strange but they’re sort of a ‘sexy’ looking sling – snigger! Anyway…Billed as being “scientifically proven [...]

Review: GypsyMama Stretch Wraps

Kat, Lucy, and myself are all ‘baby wearers’, with myself and Kat owning a few each. Just after Nia was born, Bebe Cannelle sent a stretch wrap made by small US mum run company, GypsyMama to try out, however it took me longer to recover from SPD than I’d expected so Lucy tried it out [...]

The Swaddle Pod

Having heard about the benefits of swaddling (full night’s sleep = happy baby = happy parents) from my mum friends, I was determined to have a go when my little one arrived. What I hadn’t reckoned with was producing a mini Houdini, able to release his arms (and, once, inexplicably, his legs) from the tightest [...]

Review: Ramalama Infant Carrier

When it came to wearing my baby in the early months, I was a babasling girl-about-town. At almost eight months, my baby girl is now too heavy for me to carry very far so I was interested to find out whether the Ramalama infant carrier, which is designed for babies aged six months and older, could live [...]

Review: Didymos Sling

Fresh from my recent review of the Moby, I’ve been trying out a Didymos sling. The Concept: The Didymos is a woven wrap sling, and like the Moby is a long piece of fabric but not stretchy. For comparisons sake, one is like t-shirt fabric, the other is like curtain fabric. The idea is that [...]

Review: BabaSling

Elli writes… When I first peeked into the world of baby-wearing, I remember feeling totally bamboozled by choice. I knew the right thing to do was to go to a baby carrier specialist shop and try some on to find out what would suit me, but something held me back… I’m not proud to admit that [...]

Review: Moby Sling

Let’s face it, even if you’re a complete pram-a-holic, there are still some times when only a sling will do.
