hotslings? - New Moms

Brandi · 12-01-2006, 11:38 PM

I think I remember someone talking about these a while back. Does anyone have one and do you like it? I'm really considering getting one because Hunter is super colicky and has to be held pretty much 24/7 which makes it nearly impossible to do ANYTHING around the house. Having him in the sling would also free up my hands for things like grocery shopping and what not.

BUT... I've tried the baby carriers like the snugli's and I hated them b/c they were just awkward. So, I'd hate to waste the money on one of these slings if it is going to be weird, not fit, etc. But I've heard great things about them, so I'm torn.

Looking for some opinions

Also, what size did you get? I am thinking I'd probably be about a size 4

I have a Maya wrap sling but Nathan has never liked it. It kind of covers up his head and he hates having his head covered up! He loves to be in his baby bjorn facing out so he can watch everything.
I wish I would've bought a hotsling. .they seem stretchier so he may have liked that better.
Sorry Hunter is so colicky.. I hope it gets better soon

I mentioned them when I was pregnant.

Caimbrie bought one after that & she said she liked hers. For me though, Gabby didnt like being in it.

Brandi, I just remembered I still have mine! It's black & a size 4. You want it? I've never used it, so it's still has that starchy feeling b/c it hasn't been washed. I had tried to sell it before (i even put it on here).

If you want to buy it, we'll just say a flat $25 and that will include the shipping.

I have 2 of them and I liked them because Wyatt LOVED being in it.. BUT it hurt my back a lot after a while.. I think my boobs had someting to do with it

I have a size 3 and a size 4. You are more than welcome to them. They are collecting dust. Wyatt weighs 21 lbs now so I don't even carry him on me anymore, hurts my back too much with any carrier lol.

ETA: I think we're fairly close in size (I'm pretty sure I'm actually quite a bit bigger than you weight wise) The size 3 seamed a tiny bit small because of my boobs (D) but the 4 seams a bit too big even now with Wyatt at alost 10 months and 21 lbs it seams a bit big. I think what size is better has a lot to do with what carrying position you're using. I know a lot of people have multiple sizes for that reason.

The hotslings are fitted

I dont have a hotsling itself but I WILL be using a sling or at least trying to with this baby. I HATED the snugli with E and he did too. I like the sling because it looks more comfy for both and it frees your hands up etc.

G'luck!!
