This week we are running a series of posts from one self-confessed “sling slut”, who rose to the challenge of managing without a baby carrier for a week! Here she tells us how she got on; what she found hard and what was easy.
Day Four
Monday – phew, the last day of my challenge (back to work on Tuesday). It was a Bank Holiday but my husband had to work so Isaac & I walked the 20 minutes to see the ducks, then another 10 minutes on to the playground. Walked home across the common, where he got out of the buggy to walk a little way then happily went back in the buggy for the ride home. I wouldn’t have chosen to do this trip out with a sling anyway, as I would have been quite knackered by the time we’d got home; however, it would have been easy in a sling when he was younger than about 9 months old.
We had a BBQ for dinner; naturally Isaac was very keen to help and it was difficult to isolate the BBQ area. For safety we decided to put him in a sling and my husband wore him while tending to the BBQ – it meant a ‘fail’ for Monday but it was the easiest way we knew to keep him safe and happy. We put on his ‘flames’ Babylegs for the occasion.
Check back tomorrow for the final part of this series – The Conclusion!
