Warning over baby slings...

If a sling is needed I HIGHLY recommend this one:

(the original hugabub - around £65 in the uk)

...it is not the same as those mentioned in the article.

I have wondered about this before; if they could suffocate a baby. Chloe didn't like the one I got so I've not been able to use it anyway. I've been using a babybjorn one which she didn't like until she was 4 months old but now she loves it!

I loved my Baby Bjorn one - problem is my eldest outgrew it soooo quickly - when J was born I had discovered the hugabub

Yep babybjorn is so comfy! She gets right the giggles in it!

The deaths could be down to cot death as these deaths can occur anywhere baby is sleeping though, might not be the slings I guess. Very sad indeed though, can't imagine looking down and finding your baby had died while you were holding her/him. Must be absolutely awful.

(Thought you were going for a couple of weeks? Glad you haven't!!)

I know - makes me feel like crying - just the thought (shudder)!

...I was supposed to be - I could loose interent at anytime! I don't have email or TV ...perhaps they forgot about the internet connection - I hope so!

So it's slings now instead of co-sleeping! Wonder when the mail will go back to that one!
