Hot Spring Slings by Polkadot Papoose!

I am a self-proclaimed Professional Babywearer and have to share the newest line of slings I have come across.  First, I must explain the situation that I feel qualifies me as a professional baby wearer.  We live in a very urban location, which requires me to regularly park my car blocks from my home and tote home Miss Emme and anything I've collected throughout the day's outings (i.e. groceries, diapers, shopping bags, packages, etc.).  The stroller is not an option because there are a couple of flights of stairs at the end of the trek home.  Friends and family are amazed at what I can accomplish at the end of the day, carrying Emme in a sling, lugging the aforementioned items, diaper bag strapped across me, marching several blocks and up the stairs, all while talking to them on my cell phone.  Today I was talking to my mom during the trek and called myself an "Urban Warrior."  She suggested I post about it on my blog!  It is only by the grace of the baby sling that I am able to accomplish so much, all while keeping my daughter close!

I love all types of slings (and really have my eye on a Mei Tai for my next sling purchase) but I can't get enough of a good ol' baby pouch....enter Polkadot Papoose!   With a Polkadot Papoose, you take your measurements to be sure of a perfect fit.  There is no tugging at rings for constant adjustments, no extra fabric you don't know what to do with, no fancy knot-tying and no problem looking chic while toting your precious little one.  What more can you ask for in a baby pouch sling?  To learn more about slings visit: The Baby Wearer for tips on how to use a sling, various carrying positions and the wondrous benefits of babywearing for mother and child.

The most fabulous feature to the Polkadot Papoose is the use of fantastic designer fabrics by Amy Butler.  If I had to choose my favorite fabric designers, Amy Butler and Heather Bailey, of www.hellomynameisheather.com blogging fame, tie for first. I LOVE fancy fabrics and in today's fabric world, I could spend hours pouring over fabric swatches online and pining for a sewing machine!  (Note: If my husband is reading, I'd like him to know that am wishing for a sewing machine for Mother's Day...yeah, yeah, it is contrary to my deepest feminist ideals and speaks directly to the anti-feminist tradition of keeping women at home and pregnant, but next time I'm pregnant and at home, I'd sure be lookin' good in a maternity smock I sewed myself...don't you think? :)  In the meantime, having a Polkadot Papoose will satisfy my desire for designer fabrics and superior craftsmanship!

I am due with our third daughter in the next couple of weeks and I am so excited to get back to wearing a baby on my chest, there's just nothing like it! These fabrics are indeed gorgeous.

I hope you get that sewing machine ;)

I agree with the previous post....I am such a huge fan or WEARING YOUR BABY. The closeness is so important. Good to see such beautiful slings now.

I love these slings. I have several friends that swear by the sling thing, and am planning to get one for another dear friend who is expecting soon. Supposedly the cozy womb-like environment the sling mimics is really great for calming a restless baby, much like swaddling does. Another great product out there for newborns is the swaddlekeeper, check it out at http://www.swaddlekeeper.com
