I don't know if this is the right thread for it but I've looked and haven't found anything. Well I have a two month old ds and would love to have some slings/mei tais as I've heard only good things about them. So what are some good slings/mei tais that you all recommend? TIA

Here's the babywearing forum. You might also want to read the reviews at the babywearer. Personally, we used a Kangaroo Korner adjustable fleece pouch and a Kozy. But it really just depends on what you're looking for.

This will probably get moved to babywearing, but a ring sling is really nice to have! It's a pretty quick in-out which is good for early days and for toddlers )IME). I have no mei-tai experience. I found a local mom who makes them and bought one from her. Finding a local mom has the added bonus of in-person help while you work through learning how-to. Check in the Finding Your Tribe area with local moms.

Thank you both. I'm so knew at this that I didn't even know it was called babywearing...lol

With a two month old I might even go for a stretchy wrap like a Gypsy Mama, because it's nice how you can pre-tie them and then pop baby in and out (great for when you don't have anyplace to put baby down while you put on carriers!).

There is a whole world of babywearing out there for you to learn about, and find what works for you

My toddler and I love our woven wraps, but we used DIY fleece pouch slings when he was two months old because they were easiest. They get "recycled" for toddlerwearing for quick ups and downs and running errands in the car.
