8 Stylish Slings for Every Type of Babywearing Mama
When I was pregnant, I used to watch the babywearing moms with awe. These ladies knew how to actually get things done and be good parents all at the same time!
The only problem? I went to get a baby carrier, and I was totally lost. Did I want to do a kangaroo carry or a Buddha carry (hint: they're the same thing)? Is my baby going to be lost if I don't have a ring sling? And what the heck is a mei tai?
There are so many different kinds of slings -- front, back, cloth, supported -- that it can be daunting to have to choose! But this mama has your back. And your front and hip too.
Here's a quick look at some of the more popular kinds of baby carriers out there so you can figure out your babywearing style!
What's your babywearing style? Is it on our list?

I used the Moby wrap with my daughter up until she was about 6 months, then switched to the Ergo carrier.

Ring slings, or Selendang, (which I didn't know had a name, I just took my favorite sheet my husband ripped and salvaged the fabric, and made a knot tie sling for my kids)

I have a Moby wrap I received at my baby shower. Some of these slings are ridiculously overpriced for a piece of fabric.
