I love babywearing my son. I wasn't aware of all the different types of wraps, carriers and slings out there with my daughter. I wish I had done more research about it. There is so much more info about babywearing out there to day. I love the hands-free ability to carry your child and how much easier it makes nursing on the go.

Many areas have baby wearing support groups, where you can learn to use different carriers and even borrow carriers to try out. Breastfeeding support groups (La Leche League, Breastfeeding USA, etc.) can also be a good place to try out a carrier & find out how to use one, since many breastfeeding moms use baby carriers. I have loved a few different types of carriers, but here are the Benefits of a Sling vs. Soft Structured Carriers.
1. Slings are a multi-use baby product. You can also use it for a changing pad, a blanket, floor play mat, carseat/stroller canopy, and so much more.

3. Slings are easier to get the right fit. Soft structured carriers have a ton of buckles while slings have an easy to adjust ring.

5. Budget Friendlier Option. Quality soft structured carriers tend to be more expensive than slings.
6. Water Friendly. There are slings designed to specifically go into the water. They wick away moisture where soft structured carriers aren't designed for tis type of activity.
