how did you make it with a sheet????

I just used a single sheet folded in four lengthwise, then slipped it under one arm and over the opposite shoulder and tied a knot. Once you've got it on, open out the middle and slip the baby in. I found the idea somewhere on the internet while looking for info on how to make slings; can't remember where now though. After that I didn't usually bother to untie it, I'd just slip it on and off over my head. It sounds as though the baby will fall out but don't worry, that won't happen! I haven't got a picture with me now (I'm at work) but I can look for one later if you like.

http://www.jenrose.com/sling/slingtxt.htm says how to make one out of a sheet?

troglodyte

Yes that's it! It does make it sound a bit complicated but it isn't really.

I'm a convert to baby slings since I had my second baby, makes life so much easier. I've got one of these - http://www.baby-bean.com/moby-wrap-baby-carrier-p-77.html - which is think is quite similar to the one on the show, and it's really easy to use and comfortable.

You could try www.ticklytoes.co.uk for advice on slings and folds, as well as buying one.

Meant to say. We've used ring slings and mai-teis with our children and they love being in them. My wife can carry our 3 year old with them when the need arises!
