Is there anyone else on here as stupid as me who can't figure out how to properly use a sling? I feel like I am smothering my db.

    • i know they're wonderful and i'll try again w/my 2nd db, but with my first i had her in the bjorn all the time as the sling always felt awkward, too low or too smothering. i need a crash course.

    • I could never figure it out, even with help I found it uncomfortable and dd was never happy in it. We stuck with the Baby Bjorn throughout.

      • wasn't it frustrating? i had friends w/dbs in slings who could nurse them while walking around and nobody would even know. i'm just not that coordinated i guess.

      • it's just that the baby seems really folded up - it looks uncomfortable. he's only six weeks so i don't think he could be too big, right?

        • remember, he spent monthss folded up in the womb. if he doesn't complain, he's fine with being that way.
