Product Name: Monkey Bums Baby Sling Submitted By: Stacie Mahoe; Kapolei, HI Rating: 9 Where to buy: MonkeyBums.com Description: Monkey bums offers a baby sling for carrying your infant or toddler. It's made of fabric and is very comfortable and easy to use. There are many different cool fabric designs and colors to choose from. Review: Unlike other infant carriers that may hurt your shoulders, the Monkey bums baby sling makes it easy to carry or wear your baby. I found the sling to help ease the physical strain of carrying an infant for an extended period of time. Even as beginning baby wearer, the sling was easy for me to use. I loved the fact that you could switch baby from an upright position to a laying down position without waking baby up. It's also rather easy to get baby in and out of and is simple to adjust. The adjustment may not be quite as easy as pulling on straps, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that tough. Best of … [Read more...]

Product Name: Moby Wrap Baby Carrier Submitted By: Carrie Lauth; Dallas GA Rating: 9 Where to buy: mobywrap.com Description: The Moby Wrap is a soft stretchy cloth baby carrier. It consists of a long length of cloth that must be tied around the mother's body. Review: If you love using a sling you might want to try the Moby also. I like the Moby Wrap for longer wearing...like if I'm taking the kids to a museum or walking. It's more comfortable for long term wearing than a sling since the fabric goes onto both shoulders and so baby's weight is distributed evenly. But since it can't be adjusted as easily, I use it around the house (when I can lay baby down to tie the sling on) or for longer periods out of the house. The Moby can be used for a child up to 35 pounds, and your baby can be held to your chest facing in or out, a "cradle" or nursing position, hip carry or even on your back. Comes in a variety of colors. Criticism: There is a tiny … [Read more...]

Product Name: Medela Pump in Style Original Breast Pump Submitted by: Dana Irwin; St. Louis, MO Rating: 8 Where to buy: babiesrus.com Description: A hospital-grade double electric breast pump with electrical cord and battery pack. Review: Great electric pump. Much better than hand held ones! Quite a bit faster. Lets you adjust the suction level and speed for maximum comfort. Does well at expressing all of your milk in not a lot of time. Is an expensive item. Buy only if you are going to use it. If you plan to be away from your baby frequently, definitely spend the extra money on this pump verses a hand held! The battery pack also makes it convenient to travel with if needed. You can even pump in the car on long car rides! The only problem I have had with mine is that I sometimes have to adjust the front piece to get suction. I bought this item used though so I have no idea of its history. Copyright © Moms of Faith, All Rights Reserved … [Read more...]
