A gift to myself: The Peanut Shell baby sling. After calling around yesterday and discovering that there are virtually no retail stores that carry the New Native, I did my research and decided that the Peanut Shell was another great brand in baby slings. The two stores I found that do carry the Peanut are Posh Punkins in El Dorado Hills and Starlight Starbright in Folsom. However, for the sling in the particualar size and fabric I wanted, I had to travel down to the Roseville Galleria.
The Peanut can carry baby in three different positions: cradle style for newborns to 4 months, kangaroo style for babies 4-10 months, and on the hip for 10 months to toddler. I believe it was a worthy investment and know it will more than pay for itself in convenience. Let's face it, with baby #5 there really is going to be no slowing down. Plus, I just love wearing my babies, and this gives me one more way to do it.
You are going to love it. You carry that baby as long as you can.
ReplyDeleteI have that exact one sitting here in my kitchen right now! It is a really small size (my friend let me borrow it), but I'll bring it by to see if it fits!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun. I'm going to try a sling this time around also. I will still use my wrap but I also like the idea of how fast slings are and that you can carry them on your hip as a toddler.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am definitely still going to use my wrap.
ReplyDeleteWow, not a bad idea. I recieved a sling for Scottsen and never used it but maybe next time I will. Oh, and I love how the model holding the baby is about a size 2 with a totally flat belly and looks about 17. So, if I buy that sling will I look like that after birth.
