I tried to purchase a sling when my 3 year old was a baby, but never could figure out how to work it, or maybe just didn't buy the right one.  I really want to figure it out with my new one.  Any suggestions on a sling you love?

I just ordered one from Toys R Us, its a Hotsling, I have heard good things about them, this pattern is on clearance online. I figure I will need one with a 22 month old and a newborn :)

My friend did tell me the hotsling is nice. But I have a baby hawk mie tei that I like. But I think that is better once the baby is a bit older. I am going to buy the moby wrap this time around. I just love the closeness it offers and it is very easy to use:)

i like the Ergo Carrier and Serena & Lily's sling, which acts much like the Hotsling.

It depends on if you want an adjustable one or not. I had issues with the pouch slings but have heard alot of great things about maya wraps (ring sling) and sakura bloom ring slings. I personally love wrap carriers though.

I have the ultimate baby wrap. you can wear them in a few different positions and even nurse with it on. its pretty cool its a giant cloth one.

 I seen a pattern for one online that was no sew. I think its a ring sling and Ive always wanted to make it but idk if I will even use it or how hard it will be for me to use. I am confused with buying one bc they come in sizes and thats just to hard to do online or instore with out the baby and knowing her size. Im lost. Keep those recommendations coming girls Im lookin at them to!

personally I loved my Moby wrap. It's a little cumbersome at first but once I got used to it I loved it. I got it when Olivia was around 3 months. Before that I used a Hotsling and hated it. Olivia wanted to stretch out and untill you can do the hip hold stretching out is impossible. 

I wore Olivia literally ALL the time, so I really needed something I liked. I really enjoyed my Moby wrap and can't wait to use it for the new baby. Yay!
