  • Am I the only non-slinger on Hitched?

    I'm interested to know how many of us aren't slingers. I've nothing against them they just really aren't my cup of tea.

    Am I alone?

    Never appealed when I had J but I think I will give it a shot if we have any more.

    I don't think I would have been if I had had a baby who would be put down.

    I'm a wannabe slinger. I am lusting after a Connecta, but after the laptop incident I haven't really got the pennies to justify it at the moment. Bawl

    I have a Peanut Shell sling that someone loaned me which I use for school runs as I find it easier than the pram. I think slinging appeals to me as it wasn't really a big thing when I had Bratski, but I really enjoy it with T.

    I wasn't with J. I tried out a couple , but they never felt quite right.

     

    I'd liek to try with this baby though as the nursery run on the bus with a baby in a pram & a free-running toddler fills me with dread!!! I much prefer the thought of a toddler in a pushchair & a baby in a sling!

    I thought I would be before R was born, but in the event, I didn't actually find it that easy to do things while slinging him, and I liked to have a bit more personal space at timesEmbarrassed

    No, I personally don't fancy it.

    I have seen a couple in town today, both mums of 3 under 3 at a guess and boy it looks hard work Laugh both the pushing of the pram and the slinging and the 3 under 3 Laugh

    I haven't slung for ages. I got bored of having to keep pacing up and down to get G to stay asleep in there, and now I think she's too active to enjoy being in there.

    I have a Close Baby sling and have only used it a couple of times. I want to be a slinger but it just hasn't quite worked for me. I think I feel like N is too big for the stretchy sling now, though actually he isn't.

    I may be persuaded to try a more structured kind though as the idea appeals to me greatly.

  • Re: Am I the only non-slinger on Hitched?

    For those of you that don't sling, can I just ask how you manage if you go somewhere that isn't pushchair friendly ?  I'm thinking country walks, national trust houses etc. 

    I am a slinger but not an avid slinger IYSWIM, I do use my pushchair

    I never used one either for Aaron - when we went places that we couldnt use a pushchair my H carried him.
