This is great! I love all of your videos and how you use all the different ones you have to help educate other parents! Is the other sling you have- the denim one as easy to adjust (the tail part) as this one is? Also which is easier for nursing? I like the ones that you can do different positions, like the wraps, but I also like the grab and go ones like the slings. I'm trying to debate wich sling to get. I wish there was a place to go and try all the different types!!

There are some stores that carry different slings. My best advice would be to make your own or buy used to save money. This way you could try them all with minimal expense.

As far as nursing, I would suggest the moby. My baby does NOT like her head covered at all so we only succeeded when she would let me.

My best bet has been to have both wraps based on need. For example, while I'm shopping, I prefer the ring sling. When doing things where I am more active, I prefer the moby.

What can I do to help?

[keenlass]

Everytime I put my baby on the sling he starts crying, as if he doesnt enjoy it or I am doing it wrong ...

If moms have trouble using slings/wraps, seek out mother's groups,La Leche League or Attachment Parenting meetings, or find a doula in your area. They are happy to help you figure it out!

Great video! I have just made the switch to a ring sling from a pouch sling and you have helped me learn to use my new ring sling. I feel that there is a definite learning curve in switching to this type of sling, but I know with time I will be more comfortable with it. I LOVE babywearing!!!

I like that you took lots of time to explain each step, but the baby's positioning isn't correct.

The seated position she should look like she would if she were in a bumbo. Her knees should be up higher than her butt, so if you pull on the bottom rail you can make a seat/pocket, then pull the top rail and middle snug until she can't wiggle/sway.

thank you, very informative

The baby's legs should not be dangling...it puts too much pressure on the spine. In traditional cultures, they will always put the baby in a position where the legs are above the hips.

try tying it tighter so tight you think the baby will be uncomfortable. He won't the fabric stretches. My baby is 8mo and 25lbs I find when I tie it too loose then he feels like he is not supported.
