THE Ring Sling Solution

I invite you to rethink ring sling carries as a modified torso carry. Here's why.Babywearers are plagued by a host of fiddly problems while wearing ring slings. Almost all of them can be nipped in the bud with a single solution. Simply tighten the sling much more tightly than you might have previously thought necessary before shimmying and curling your little one down into it.*So simple! How could this help?Problems tightening? If there is no need to retighten, then there are no problems. No tips and tricks needed.  Rings ending up on your sternum?

QUESTION: Why Babywear?

ANSWER: Life goes on, if the baby is fussy or not. We vote not. Cooking and eating meals. Running errands. Shopping. The daily grind of regular to-dos looks different for each of us, but when you have a baby or toddler in a woven wrap or ring sling, these things are made glorious. If you have never wrapped a child before, imagine what it would be like to snuggle a peaceful baby and have your hands free as opposed to wrestling two armfuls of disorganized baby. You could care for your other children while the littlest one naps against your chest. You could put away groceries while you chat with the happy and secure toddler on your back. You could...
