Oh I so totally have been coveting Nest slings! I only have a old skool maya ring sling but I need to be more hip with her Nest style!!!
(Gee, can u tell I adore Nest?)
September 24th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
love everything! would totally adore that sling! just got started wearing #2 with a borrowed sling and love it so I’d love one of my own
September 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Oh my!! We need a sling for the new one and Gabe’s eczema responds SO well to the Arbonne stuff!! Im excited!!
September 24th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
We have a 6 week old baby so this would be great!
September 24th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I’ve actually never used a ring sling–I’ve always been too intimidated. I’ve used a pouch sling and loved it. This could be just the way to start. I might have to have another baby if I win because mine is getting on the big side!

I have been very curious about this sling thing and need it pretty bad for my baby when I do stuff with my 4 year old son and babysit my 3 year old niece. It is hard to keep a hand on everyone when we are out and about.
