hi, I have a sleepy wrap and a mei tai and a MIM silk sling.
my son is 3 mths old and so far the only one that worked is the sleepy wrap in a cradle position.
He fell asleep in the mei tai at the shop with his legs tucked in, so I bought it on the spot.
Here are my problems with all 3 of them.
1) sleepy wrap. really great baby slept in it for a long time in cradle position. BUT it's SOOO hot, and you can't easily put it on or off outside. The cloth is so long it will touch the floor and I dont't like that. I found this which seems to be the answer to my problems Close baby carrier which is basically a sleepy wrap without having to wrap ! I saw it yesterday at mothercare paragon for $176 was sooo tempted to buy.
2)mei tai. when I took my son out I saw red marks on his legs as I tucked his legs in, so I was quite concerned that it is uncomfortable for him for long period of time. Also I find it really hard to take him out quick enough when he starts wailing in it to feed him. Very scared he will fall out but have two long straps to contend with.
3) MIM silk sling. I have never tried to bring him out in this because everytime I try to put him in it at home he wails. He hates it, once he tries kicking his legs and can't he starts crying. I dont't understand why he can do cradle in the sleepy wrap but won't do cradle in the sling. The silk material looks really tight and binding to me, maybe that's why he dont't like it? Is the problem with the material or the sling type of carrier?
I wish to get something that can do the following:
1) easy to put on
2) can take the baby out easily and quickly when he is fussy and for breast feeding
So far after lots of researching (i did my research before getting the wrap and mei tai lol still fail) I am thinking of the following.
1) the close baby carrier
2) a mum r us sling, the trimming on one side seems to be useful for people like me who get kan cheong easily. the MIM cotton sateen feels so soft, so I think this one should be the same material. maybe my baby hates the silk version? hehehe
3) a pupsik pouch
what do you guys think?
