I was a babywearer! I'm not any more since my kiddos are 6 & 4.

I really liked the OTSBH (Over The Shoulder Baby Holder). Maya Wraps & Mei Teis are awesome!

I didn't. My kids HATED the sling!! Maybe I should look at a different sling this time?

I used a snugglie (sp?) until she got too heavy-they're only good for up to like 24 lbs or so, but when she hit about 20 lbs, her combined with my big boobs made my back hurt too much....

The sling just seems too awkward for me to try it out...

I have one from Hotslings.com.

I tried it on w/ her and didn't really like it, but I honestly haven't given it a fair shot to really give my opinion.

I tried slings and carriers with both. They were both very awkward and uncomfortable for both of us. Plus, they hurt me since I had a c section. By the time I was healed enough to wear them, they were too big to tote around like that.

I did with my 2nd. I had my sling made by a lady I met on one of the navy wives websites. I can't remember her name for the life of me now though...

I made a sling for George.... he loves it. It kills my back now though.... 26lbs is a lot to lug around. We have moved on to the backpack
