Indispensable Baby Product!

The Hotslings sling is truly my favorite baby item. My daughter had colic and "wearing" her was the only thing that got me through 8 weeks of fussing and crying. As long as she was in the sling, she was content. My daughter is now 7 months old and still loves to ride in the sling. We walk our dogs daily with her in the sling, run errands and even do household chores while I "wear" her. She loves being "up high" and able to observe and interact with those around her. She has enjoyed this from the very beginning. There is a lot of information that baby wearing is beneficial for bonding between parents and baby and developing the baby's sense of security and trust.
The sling is very comfortable. I have had no issues with back or shoulder pain. My daughter has been comfortable in the various positions. The only issue I had with the sling is I could never figure out how to nurse her while she was in the sling. I think it was probably just me and my lack of coordination, but I found it difficult.
I have the Quinn striped sling- I love the pattern and found it goes well with most of my outfits as well as my daughters.
It is easy to use and easy to care for. I have washed mine frequently without any fading. It is well crafted and very sturdy. It folds up nicely and fits in the diaper bag.
I tried the Bjorn carrier and found it to be extremely uncomfortable. My shoulders ached the entire time I was carrying her and she didn't seem as happy. Plus, it was very cumbersome and complicated.
I recommend the Hotslings sling to all my pregnant friends, and today am purchasing a second one (the solarveil mesh one).
