Plus Size Babywearing - Page 2

Are the Baby Hawk or the Sleepy Wrap comperable to a HotSling? I tried on a HotSling in a size 9 at a store with my friend's 3mo inside and it was like a dream!!! I'd like to shop around, but finding plus size slings not on the internet is TOUGH!

Thanks

Here's an article written by a plus size babywearer that goes over all main styles of baby carrier: http://www.thebabywearer.com/article.../PlusSizes.htm

If you get a woven (not stretchy) wrap like a neobulle, balibaby, ellaroo, didymos, etc, you can securely tie your baby on in a variety of ways that take a lot less fabric, which is cooler anyway. Not sure how many of these shorter carries work with a stretchy, but maybe someone else has tried it?

Here's my video of a carry that I just discovered and can't wait to use with my newborn. I used 2.7 meters, but I'm petite and it's still really tight. My 3.5 meter wrap works a lot better, and you can size up as needed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9v6tSljTt8
