I have been an avid babywearer since Becca was around three months old. Before that point I carried her everywhere, thinking there had to be a better way. A friend introduced me to a woman that promoted and sold baby ring slings. I was hooked. I could clean our place and wear Becca. I could take her for walks, to the grocery store, the library … any where my heart desired without having to place her somewhere, far away from my heart.

I wore Becca until I was pregnant with Ethan. Then my fear and her growth spurts separated us. Now she gladly walks beside me, holding my hand, never venturing far or running off. I contribute some of that to our closeness.

Ethan is always with us. He is completely part of Becca & I’s daily activities. Ethan gets to experience it all because I wear him, everyday. I cannot imagine any other way to parent them both. I like it. J likes it. Becca likes it and Ethan is content.

The wonderful ladies at ModMum’s approached me to review their cute and stylish baby slings right before we were leaving the US for Canada. ModMums create the pouch style sling, a type that I had shied away from in past. I gladly accepted their sling, thinking it was worth a try.

I am so glad I have a ModMum sling! It was the ONLY baby carrier I packed when we flew here (we did have the Ergo as well for times when J was going to wear Ethan). I use the ModMum sling almost exclusively now. I am so in love! It is simple and easy to use. Quick and smooth to place Ethan in and out of. Oooo and so snug, Ethan adores being all safe and secure inside! I cannot believe that there was a time I did not have this sling! Did I forget to mention how cute it is?!?!? Totally reversible too so you know when you spill something, errr the baby slips something …. hehe! Btw, I realized after these pictures were taken that I was wearing the sling WRONG! If I had taken the time to look at the great instructions on the packaging I would have it right and now wear it correctly. Even brunettes have blond moments … hehe.

I mentioned before that I hesitated because I had avoided this type of sling in the past. I was always a ring sling girl, being that I am all curvy and when breastfeeding I even more curvatious. I figured the non-adjustable sling was not really meant for girls like me. This one fits me and Ethan perfectly! Ethan is a big boy too! I am not sure it would have fit pre-weight loss for me though and I have the largest size available. My only recommendation for these slings is that they would be available to all sizes of women, other than that they are PERFECT for stylish, on the go mom!

I highly recommend the slings from ModMum’s, and would have been happy hold a contest for one, but I am completely unwilling to part with mine However, if you head over to Much More Than a Mom’s blog she has a contest going for a ModMum sling right now!

While you are there, send her many happy, quick, light on the pain labour vibes, Much More Than a Mom is due to have her baby very soon!!!!! So exciting!
