Any Mom's familiar with these two pouch slings? I'm wondering which one you like better. I'm looking to get a fleece one and I'm not sure which to order. Thanks for your help!

What can I do next?

I have a baby sling (which I believe the other response was talking about) called bundle of love. The website for this sling is bundleoflove.net. I love the sling and still am able to use it for my 14 month old who weighs about 22 pounds. There are four or five different positions you can wear your baby with this sling. Hope this helps!!

My sister in law swears by the hotsling. The fabric on it was not fleece, but a sort of stretchy blend in a super fun color. She also has a fleece sling that is a big pouch, but I am not sure what brand it is, all I know is the woman who made it lives in Minnesota :)

On aonther note - I really like my Over The Shoulder Baby Holder, it is a little bulkier, but worked well for me. I still use it occasionally for my 20 month old.

They carry several brands (at least the hotslings and the Over the Shoulder holder) at the store called Pea Pods in St. Paul on Snelling Avenue. You could probably try out a few before buying one if you had time to go in there.

I have a hotsling and I LOVE it - you can buy them a little cheaper from a place on the web www.TheSerendipitySpot.com.
I tried various other holders and slings with my daughter and none of them worked that great for me - I am SOO happy I have this one for my son - sometimes when he is really fussy putting him in there is the only thing that works to get him calmed down.

I have a hotsling and I love it. I only wish I had gotten a size bigger than they recommended, because my son is big. He is 7mo. and I still use it on my hip. I got mine at Pacifier on Henn. Ave in Minneapolis. They let me try it out there. It was awkward at first, but I quickly got the hang of it.
