I can't stop looking at slings

We need a stash pics thread for slings don't we? I'll start one tomorrow when DH is out

I've just ordered my first ever sling...

Oooh what did you get Liz??? Is sling addiction going to over take the nappy addiction this time!?!?!?!?

This one: http://www.lovetobenatural.co.uk/didymo ... linen.html

They did a silk mix version of it in 2010 (also limited edition) which, by the time I'd decided that I might want to use a sling & had fallen in love with the design, had long since sold out!!

Am hoping not to let a sling addiction take over - DH might never forgive me, as they're 4x the price on a nappy!

Ooh pretty! I am hoping to just get one sling too as there is no way I can afford a stash of them I have been looking at the Didytai's as I love the look of wraps but prefer the idea of a mei tai! Love this one in particular http://www.didymos.de/en/Babywearing/DI ... 3ng450atq6 or something similar as I love turquoise type shades

@Miss_Purple have you seen this butterfly wrap

I have a sling obsession too, actually more like a wrap obsession, I've been looking since before we were even TTC

I REALLY want an Earthy Rainbow wrap, although I hardly used a wrap much last time, but I think with a winter baby, a nice big ER will be lovely and warm for me and bubs.

I have my pod which I love, so that'll definitely get a lot of use once baby is bigger. I kind of would like to try a MT again, but could never get on with one properly with Rhys.

OMW, that is absolutely beautiful!

I'm feeling a trifle sling obsessed too! I am planning on lots of local walks with my beloved vintage silver cross, but for anywhere we go on public transport or by car, the faffage of prams puts me off. Been there, done that, don't like it, I think slinging will be so much easier.

I didn't get into slings til dd was 3 months, and my main love was for mei tais. But I'm really happy with the babyhawk we have, so don't feel the need to stash up. Ditto I have a pouch and a ssc (beco 4th gen, but fab) so not bothered about trying others. Yet...

Have read and thought lots about wrapping, so that's where my trial and error is going to be in the next few months! I can't afford a big stash, so will play about buying and selling preloved til I find the right combo for me.

My stretchy (tricot slen in indigo) for the early days is going to be my reintroduction to wrapping, and the LL woven (sunrise) is hopefully an easy one for making the woven leap.

The lovely lady who runs the slingmeet and library I used to go to with dd is going to loan me a ringsling to try, which I'm super excited about! Can't wait for bump to become baba!

I am extremely tempted by a wrap conversion, as the squishyness and wrappyness combined with mei tai tying really appeals. But I've never seen one in the flesh, and there are a bewildering aray of options.
