Sling Rec's for Petite Mama

[Ruth1717]

I'm 4'11", thin with a large chest. I have a Beco carrier- any recommendations for a pouch type sling that might fit me? New Native, Hot Slings, Karma
Baby? I'm hesitant about something like Moby Wrap.. Thanks!

I'm 5'2" medium build with a large chest. I love my SlingLings.com pouch style sling in a slightly-stretchy cotton.

I also like my KKAFP.

I have a BabyHawk mai tei which is great too. Have to figure out the back carry when DH is around to help me. DD2 doesn't like facing in, even when she's asleep.

Have you looked at ring slings? They are adjustable, so a lot easier to get the correct fit and support. Some people prefer the look of a pouch though. Lots of ring slings can be made to be shorter so you'd have less of a tail since you're petite.

Slingslings are great! I really like their sizing chart. You can use it to see which size would work good for you.

I'm built just like you (well I've got a couple of inches on you ). I didn't like the way my new native fit at all. It hurt my back because I couldn't adjust it to fit. I have a TaylorMade ring sling and I LOVE it. As in I can't live without it. I also have a Babyhawk mei-tei that I love. But if I had to choose it would be the ring sling for sure. You can adjust it to fit you just right based on how the baby is sitting, what clothes you're both wearing, et cetera.
