I was nervous about finding something that would work for me. I was a pretty big girl in the plus size range. I had heard a lot of good things about the Hotslings. I checked out their website and was excited to see they were sold in sizes and extended into the plus size range. I ordered one right away. I got a lot of use out of that sling.
It was so easy to use. It was a neutral color so it worked well with everything. I tucked my little one in there and we headed out for walks, to the zoo, to the park. It was comfortable for both her and I. She loved being close to me and snuggled in.
I would recommend this sling to all moms. I heard about this product from a close girlfriend when I had my second daughter who was born with colic. She always had to be in my arms in order for her to be calm. However, I had a two year old at the time that was almost potty trained so between a newborn and needing to tend to my two year old it was hard to constantly hold her. It made it harder to do light household work while my husband was working because that left me as the only one to hold her.
So when my girlfriend saw me going through this she gave me a link to hotslings. I bought one and tried it out. I absolutely loved it. It has several different positions you can hold your baby in making it easy for your little one to adjust to.
It keeps your hands free while allowing you to wash dishes, vaccum, cook dinner and etc. It helps them feel like they are in the mother's womb. The only downfall about this product is that it shrinks in the wash.
After I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to own a sling to carry my baby closely to me for his happiness and my own. I found several different types of slings out there and had no idea what to get.
A friend suggested the HotSling to me and said she loved it. After doing my measurements I purchased one. It felt a little tight. The material doesn't stretch at all. What was worse was when I placed my baby into it, it seemed to scrunch him up so much that he hated it. I couldn't get him comfortable in the sling and I felt like I was squishing him. I couldn't get him into the sling by myself and had to have my husband help me lift him into it and position him just right.
Once we finally got him in, he just cried because he was so squished. I finally got him to go to sleep after walking with him in the sling for about an hour, but then I got so hot with him snuggled next to me that I wasn't comfortable at all. I would not recommend this sling to use on a baby older than a couple of months. The quality of the material is nice and there are a great variety of colors to choose from.
It is a bit expensive though and not worth the money, time and effort I had to use when my son didn't like it anyway. I had a hotslings pouch with my second child, and we liked it a lot.
It was comfortable for both mom and baby, and was stylish. It folds down small; small enough to just toss in the diaperbag. This makes it the perfect just-in-case baby carrier.
It is washable, but you can't really throw it in the dryer. They have been known to shrink. And since Hotslings are sized, fitted pouches, shrinkage would not be good. Speaking of Hotslings being fitted, you have to choose your size carefully. If it is too big, the baby will sit too low and it will strain your back. If it is too small, the baby will be uncomfortable and so will you.
The pouch will feel too tight. The website advises you to order two different sizes, and return the one that doesn't fit. This is a pretty smart idea, but I think that Hotslings are a little bit pricey for what they are. I'm not really wanting to order two, even knowing that one will be returned and refunded. When you get a good fit, Hotslings are comfortable and convienent. This was my first ever baby carrier and I must say I was very disappointed.
First of all, it is not good for women who have large breats, but smaller waists. I had to get one of the smaller sizes so that my baby was not hanging down too low, but in turn his face would be buried in my breasts and I was afraid I was going to suffocate him. This also made it basically impossible to breast feed in, we were never able to get a good latch going if he was smooshed up against me. Then after wearing it for a while, it really started to take a toll on your back.
I found myself only being able to wear it for short periods, which in turn made it to where I was waking up my baby in order to get him out since I was in pain. I think I would have liked it better if it was maybe made out of a more stretchy fabric. I did however like it once he started sitting up and I could have him in the hip carry, it was nice to be able to hold him and not have to use both hands, I did however always keep one arm around him because it didn't feel completely secure to me.
I received a hotsling baby pouch carrier from a friend as a gift. I couldn't believe how well made this product is. The hotsling design features a padded area for the baby's legs which I think is just genius.
When I received the sling, my first thought was, "how do I use this thing" and my friend explained there are many videos on youtube. Sure enough, youtube features "how-to" videos officially posted by the Hotslings company. The videos show several different ways to properly use the baby sling and also has a video devoted just for troubleshooting common user errors. The video support is tremendous and with just a little practice I was a babywearing momma.
I would recommend a hotsling to any mom as they allow you to carry your baby while doing other tasks around the house such as laundry. In addition, I have a lot of respect for a company that takes the time to post videos of how to use their product on youtube. I got this hotsling because i saw a mom using one one day and i liked how she took it out of her idaper bag, threw it over her shoulder and put the baby in. View more baby carriers. This product has been discontinued But, there are similar products.
