I am embarrased to tell you how many slings I bought when my kids were babies. I hoped each one would be the perfect "solution" to let me get stuff done while keeping my baby close and happy!

First, let me tell you, some are only for skinny, flat chested moms because they can emphasize all the wrong places!

And if you've got shoulder injuries like me (from my Sign Language interpreting days) -- some do work better than others... but you used to have to buy them to test them out.

Not anymore! One smart mamma has done it for you!  G-d BLESS HER!  She has created an ebook that shows everything you need to know about babywearing and using a baby sling including:

• How to use any carrier instantly with over 300 STEP-BY-STEP photos and detailed instructions.

• Which carries are safe to use depending on baby’s muscle control and baby's age.
• 
  

• How to position your baby on your front, hip or back – all by yourself!  

• Several methods for achieving each carrying hold.

• Specific positions to help soothe infants with reflux/GERD and even colic.

• How to SAFELY use your baby carrier (and the research studies that support it).

   And more!

   Now, to be honest, I have not read this ebook myself. Sorry ladies, I can't afford to buy every great ebook and test it out for you...but I can tell you that if I do have another baby -- this ebook is first on my list of things to get!
