This is NOT how you should babywear your baby. Ha!
A little after I gave birth, I bought a ring sling so I could babywear G. I chose the sling since I thought it was easier to bring along compared to the other carriers. However, I still have not "mastered" the proper way of using our sling. The first few attempts at home had me and my baby slick with sweat - I had to work my way with the fabric and sling without dropping my baby. Next try, I had someone "assist" me with adjusting the panels so G would fit snugly but in the end, we left the sling at home since we were spending too much time with it when we were already late for our appointment. But still, I do not want to give up. I want to babywear my daughter and if it takes a one-on-one tutorial, then so be it.
It was last that the members of Mommy Talks Phils. Facebook group decided to hold an "eyeball". I decided to go so I could finally meet my co-moms who I had been constantly talking to (thru posts) at FB. Knowing that Eliza would be there to conduct a tutorial for the different carriers was a bonus. Eliza was indeed helpful and it was that very useful tip (making sure the edges of the sling fabric isn't wound up in the rings) that made using the ring sling SO much easier and made me love my sling more. Di na makareklamo si M na bumili-bili ako ng sling e di ko naman ginagamit. Now, I could prove him wrong *wink*
I now am able to babywear Georgie when she attended her first birthday party and it is also a big help at home whenever the baby is getting fussy. I just wear Georgie on the sling and in a few minutes, she's sound asleep on my chest :)
Right now, I'm intrigued by the Saya carrier since it seems a little less complicated to use compared to the sling. I also think that hubby might babywear G also if the carrier is easy to use. I do not want to buy a Saya yet (since it has sizings pa) not until I've tried using one. Sana meron makabasa nito na may Saya at magpahiram sakin, hehehe :)
