I had one that I bought on Craigslist, but it seemed way too confining and had too much "stuff," pockets and elastic and huge straps... So I did some research, and it turns out that it's really easy and inexpensive to make your own- plus you get to pick out the fabric!
Here's the one I bought. It's really cute and Wade liked it for awhile, before he got too hot and sweaty.
6 yards of knit material- no sewing! Apparently you can do all sorts of fancy wraps and ties, but this is the only one I have mastered so far. He loves it & instantly falls asleep!
Oops, I lied! I did learn one more.I think he looks like a little Buddah:
2 1/2 yards of (cotton) material folded in half and sewn together. I bought the rings online for $4 a pair. A little more confining, so he's not too sure about this one. Although I like the fact that I can secretly breastfeed while walking around which will save us a bunch of time. We tend to sit in the parking lots of places while the little monster chows down for 45 minutes!
Also, if he falls asleep in this one, I can just lay him down and loosen the rings. The sling then becomes a blanket- ta da!
