Reason #1,007 to wear your baby in a ring sling!

Three years ago, I was given a baby ring sling from a dear friend that made one for me after I had my 6^th child.  With my first 5 babies, I had a strap-on carrier that I was only allowed to use up to a weight of 15 pounds, not to mention, a little difficult to strap on!  With my new sling, I was THRILLED that I wouldn’t have to stop wearing my baby once she reached that 15 lb mark!  In fact, I can still wear her comfortably in it & she's about 30 pounds! 

Now, only eight months ago, I had a sweet baby boy (pictured here last October), and am SO enjoying being able to hold him close to my heart...literally!  Besides wearing my baby close & being able to be hands free, another one of my favorite things about slings is how I am better equipped to PROTECT my baby from strangers that have the audacity to get too close to my baby’s face or even touch him!  I find they tend to feel free to demonstrate that boldness whenever I happen to have my baby in a stroller (which is rare), but NEVER when I have him in my sling!  Needless to say, I have my stroller tucked away in storage somewhere! 

 

I am SO thankful & supportive of baby ring slings, that I am now a member of Baby Carrier Industry Alliance.  See what they're all about when you click here.  You can see on my blog's side bar that I am the owner of the shop, Deus Filia on Etsy.com.  See the selection of my slings here.  I personally, hand sew these baby ring slings & am thoroughly enjoying it!!!   I am so thankful to God for giving me a friend who has inspired me to carry on the blessing of baby wearing!
