When P was a baby I made my own sling for her. I always wanted one when S was a baby but never got one. P was smaller than S and couldn’t go in my front pack carrier when she was a newborn. She ended up being about 5 weeks old when she finally fit in the front pack. I came to find I was still using the sling when P got older. Not to cuddle her inside of but when I was holding her it would give me a free arm or two. The sling has now become my go to, to hold P on my hip when I am trying to get stuff done or when out shopping.
The Mamaway Ring Sling Baby Carrier is awesome. The two rings are sewn in tightly to the material so I do not have to worry about the material slipping through the rings. With the sling I made I had the material looped through each side of the ring and had to worry if it was not pulled tight it would slip through the rings and P would fall. That never happened (thank goodness) but this was always a concern. With the Mamaway Sling it gave me the security that I was looking for when using something like this. It was so easy to loop one side of the sling through the rings and adjust it to fit P comfortably.
Homemade sling
The sling is plenty long so you can use the leftover material as a cover if you need to nurse your child. With the extra material you can drape it over your shoulder or try to do some fancy knot. The sling has a build in bag for easy storage when not in use. To ensure the most comfort when wearing this sling it must be draped over your shoulder for ergonomical support. I took a picture to show the correct way and incorrect way to wear the sling for proper support.
Incorrect way, not over shoulder
Correct way, over your shoulder.
The Mamaway Ring Sling Carrier is made of 100% Pima Cotton. There are 18 different designs that you can choose from when selecting a sling. I chose the Violet Blue because I thought it would match most of my clothing. When I got the package in the mail and saw the color of the material, I loved it. It is such a soft purple and blue strip. The material was very smooth and was very comfortable against P’s skin.
