Thank you for this video. I'm going to take a deep breath and try this again. So far it's felt like I'm trying to strap an angry cat to my chest with curtains.

🤣🤣🤣 so funny but true. My baby is so squirmy and wiggly when I try to wear him. I am definitely a culprit of making these mistakes.

Best video on ring slings I’ve watched. I did 5/5 wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️

@gabriellakramer267 Год назад

I know this video is really old and you probably won’t see my comment, but I just wanted to come on here and say thank you for talking about how to make a deep seat. I was struggling with that for so long and I just figured it out because of your video!

@michcoop 3 года назад

Thanks for this video! I’ve been practicing using the sling at home for nursing and yesterday I used the sling to breastfeed my baby at a restaurant!

I love this video, this is so helpful! Thank you!!

@angelenakohout8240 5 лет назад

can I just say how extremely helpful this video was. I so badly want to love ring slings and I was having the hardest time figuring how to wear it properly so that it wouldnt hurt my shoulder/ neck and make me feel light headed!

@gfdereus8967 2 года назад

Oh I've been in your situation with the cutting off my own blood supply hahaha

@brittanyszymankiewicz7324 3 года назад

Thank you! I just got my sling and while I think I’m pretty close, I was unsure about some of these tips.

@jagamarszewska6158 4 года назад

thank you, I am using ring sling since 2 months and half of it was extremly frustrating, but it seems I did 5 out 5 mistakes, this video is just great

@naturlichfamilie7905 6 лет назад

This is excellent advice! Thanks for a great video :) I hated the ringsling with my bubs, but once I went to the babywearing school and learned all the tips and tricks, it really made a difference.

@rockomana 4 года назад

Thank you for making this video, I found it very useful as I just started to wear a ring sling and it doesn't feel good and my baby girl is not happy. I knew I must've made some mistake an that was the reason my baby wasn't happy but I couldn't figure it out. I must say that I appreciate the way you speak in the video, you are very natural and you seems to speak from the heart with a real desire to help. Thank you!

@stephanieeaves479 6 лет назад

You totally helped me!! I used to just like my rs and only use it for quick holds. Now I love it and it’s my go to!! My mistakes were putting the rings too low initially and not getting the seat up in between her legs.

@kristinaherrejon7181 5 лет назад

God bless you! Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video.

@JessMarksofMotherhood 6 лет назад

@dorian2421 5 лет назад

Thank you so much, I had given up already, I would watch a video every 3 weeks or so and get frustrated... I saw your video 20 min ago and she is on the sling now!!! is still a little hard to pull the fabric between the legs but I feel more confident now, You got the 5 mistakes just right! (no pun intended). Thank you for taking the time! so appreciated! can't wait to use it at the office!

@jocelyncoulter7189 5 лет назад

Thank you. Your video was more than just good advice for problem solving sling wearing, you also include a bit of baby-mamma psychology. I've done a good bit of research in preparation for being a parent, went to A LOT of classes, but have yet to make it to a baby wearing class. Thank you for helping me to return to using my sling.. I had put it down some 8 weeks ago, and now my 2 month old is fast asleep supported on my hip :)

@ladybell3 5 лет назад

Super helpful thank you!! I baby wear in a Solly baby wrap and love it and just bought a mesh sling for the beach and was kinda struggling I can't wait to try your tips!

thanks for this!

@jilkamerling8311 6 лет назад

Oh gosh, thank you so much for that video! I got so frustrated with pulling the fabric through the locked rings, which then ended up being all messed up between the rings 🙄 and I never got the seat right...

@sylviahathawaychavez7658 6 лет назад

Thank you! I love my ring sling but have never gotten comfortable with it and my baby fusses in it after a few minutes. These tips helped so much! Easier to understand than tutorials. What kind are you wearing?

@user-uz4zk3eq3q 7 месяцев назад

Helpful and encouraging. Thanks for making this video! Do you have any tips on how to wear a Nojo baby sling?

@rachellehoogendoorn Год назад

Great video! I was ready to give my sling away, but I'll try these tips.

@bethanyrankin3493 8 месяцев назад

Your point about building up endurance gives me hope in general. Even the carriers I’ve tried that initially felt great after a day or two I was so sore and stiff. I can definitely believe that was a me over doing it issues. 😅

@Tommygrl327 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh. Me! All these things. Especially number 5- no wonder my boy was scared out of his mind!

@suzannewheatley4701 Год назад

My first kiddo didn't like any carrier. She didn't like being confined, no swaddles, car seats, baby wearing, ect. 2nd kiddo loves it :)

@calicole9870 2 года назад

Great, informative video! Thank you! Nothing about getting fabric too tight on legsI have practiced and practiced and still get bad, deep red marks on the leg furtherest from the rings. There’s a lot of people having this issue on Reddit. What mistake are we making?

@sarahballestra9284 Год назад

Thanks so much ! Very usefull ! For the fifth point, the two first times I tried my first sling with my 2 years old boy, I was afraid he doesn't like it and I feel so disapointed because he tried to get down and repeat non stop : "Erwin is stuck, Erwin is stuck !!" Then, I take time to explain him I'm needed it for my back, and everything is okay, it's cool, but it doesn't work. But I didn't want to give up, and I found a way to relax him : I've shown him videos and pictures of other moms and babies wich are happy with the sling, then, when I put him in the sling again, I've shown him that we are like them in the mirror, and then, he finally accept it...😅 What a pleasure for us now, cooking, cleaning, doing odd job, walking, singing, and making big hug at the same time ! So, don't give up to quickly ! Ps : I've made all the mistakes you talk about too !

@PRmomma823 5 лет назад

Great advice! I'm really wanting to get my first sling for me and my 5 month old baby girl. Any brands that you prefer? I'm leaning g towards a lillebaby. Have you tried theirs before?

@Fruckyaupm8 3 года назад

Can you make more of these types of videos x

@aspennewton77 2 года назад

Your video was extremely useful. My problem is definitely trying to create a seat. I was the mom who said “this is god enough”. Figured my small preemie baby was ok and he’s so light it was no biggie. Thanks again I’m going to keep trying to work at it. I had heard about the top down method pulling from the top but because I had already made the seat tight or the sling tight I didn’t think that was the best method of going about trying to dig your hand down now in front of you and your baby. Can you share where you purchased the sling you’re wearing in this video?

@emmaschoenleber2994 5 лет назад

Can you do a tutorial on how to get chores done while baby wearing in a ring sling?

@MJ-jq4kc 2 года назад

Exactly why im here...lol

@FoodShowFan 2 года назад

Yes me too!! I thought that was the whole point lol!

@janrivera5943 5 лет назад

Hi! Thanks for the video. Is there such a thing as having your the sling be too tight for baby? I obviously want my 1 month old to feel very secure but I’m also already that it might be too tight on their legs when they are legs out.

@gabylafuente1283 6 лет назад

Omg, Roman looks exactly like you on that thumbnail... you are identical.. ❤️❤️❤️

@Amberwardell 6 лет назад

thank you so much!

@louettesommers8594 5 лет назад

Do you like a knit fabric over a woven?

@sarahsumner9061 6 лет назад

Yess 💪💪 I’ve shared this video with several people and felt like I should let you know how much we appreciated it 💖

@bethany6818 6 лет назад

What type of ring sling do you recommend? I use a boba wrap and a baby bjorn carrier one, depending on what I’m doing, but I would like something to toss in my diaper bag that won’t take up a lot of space. I was looking at the Sakura bloom silk ring slings but they seem a bit pricey... my daughter is almost two and we are expecting our son any day now so I’m looking for something convenient for carrying him around. Thank you so much, I love your channel and all your videos!!!

@Amberwardell 6 лет назад

If you're looking for a good bargain on an excellent ring sling, I recommend the Soul Slings ring sling. I carry them at The Sensible Mama, and they range from $28 to around $50, depending on the fabric and weave. They are fantastic slings; in fact, the one I have on in this video is a Soul Sling! I highly recommend.

@kcmq 5 лет назад

May i ask what ring shoulder should I go for? Toddler is heavy at 11kg... thanks! (Wonder if Hybrid suitable?)

@sarahballestra9284 Год назад

Personally, for my 13kg baby, the Little Frog ring sling are great ! You can use it until 20kg !

@mangouni 11 месяцев назад

At the moment, I hate it. The video is helpful, but it is still difficult to get it right. The ring gets low, the fabric gets bunched up in the neck as you asjust stuff.. Also! The rings are still locked after I lift the baby. I cannot even get the baby out properly.

@95cheezy 5 лет назад

I’m a soon to be plus size mama. The moby wrap didn’t fit comfortably. Is the ring sling going to fit me properly and baby be comfy. I’m super nervous but really love the ring sling. Also, any recommendations?

@elishahvinent931 5 лет назад

Audrey Sosa I’m a plus size momma! I love the ring sling. It definitely has enough fabric for both me and baby to be comfortable. I just have one from amazon and I like having the ring sling compared to the backpack carrier and the moby wrap :) hope this helps!
