Just wondering if anyone else is wearing their baby in a sling or other carrier throughout the day (ala Sears' attatchment parenting)? I have started using a sling. Between that and the co-sleeping, I feel like a hippie mom!

Yes, the baby is light enough that we use a carrier.... the stroller can be a ha__sle. Just got the baby-bjorn air - cooler version of the old one and since it's still hot here it works well. Baby sleeps really well in the carrier.

To Katharine...Sorry to say that is being a MOM . Remember it only lasts for so long,before you know it they will be in school and you will have all the freedom in thw world by the time they are teenagers you will never see them and wish you had the baby days back. I have a five and three year old ,my oldest has hardly left me as well as my three years old.

I'm using a sling, because my newborn won't let me put her down at all during the day. I had made my own sling from directions on the Maya wrap website, but then I bought a padded sling the other day and it seems to work a little better. It's coming in handy because I can go places with it that I can't yet with the stroller, because I can't lift the stroller up stairs, etc. When she gets a little bigger, I'm going to use a snugli-type carrier, but right now she's so small I think she'd fall out.

I never used either. I just layed him down to let him play. He can self entertain and I can get a little extra time to do the dishes. I didn't want him to be attached to my hip all the time or he wouldn't have learned to do things him self. And I think it worked well for him, He just learned how to pull himself up on anything, at 7 mths old. Plus, I tried a snuggle and It put too much pressure on my lower back, ouch!
