Sorry I have no advice for you Donna, but I think that's a great idea!!!! Hopefully someone can chime in with some help.
Can you wear a baby forward facing in the Mei Tai? I have my homemade one, and I tried doing it with Jacob, but it seems like his legs are so spread out that it would be uncomfy. ??

Been meaning to post here. I got my Moby from Sarah a few days ago. Klay even liked it he said "its even the right kind of cammo!". Now I just need to figure out how to use it. I know its been asked like a million times but can someone point me toward the instructions? Any special considerations since my man will be a little smaller than most when he comes home?

Levi was so big he didn't like the cradle hold for long. I never did figure out how to nurse in the Moby, even sitting. I always had to take him out. I could nurse without taking it off, but not with him in it.
Plus, I think maybe a simple pouch will be easier for the frequent on and off I'll be doing in the beginning, KWIM?

BUT...I had a ring sling once and HATED it. I know a pouch sling is different, but those who have used either sling, what do you think? Also what specific pouch sling did you like best? I'm looking at the New Native and the Peanut shell ones.
Donna, I don't know any brands. I also hated ring slings but found the pouch sling comfy. But one thing I did learn about pouch slings is that for me, they need to be much more snug than the sizing charts say, even with gigantic babies. When I made mine, with the sizing in the instructions, the baby was hanging way down by my tummy. 
I have been using my faux-moby a lot lately. I think I like it best for back carrying. Very comfortable even with Biruk being so heavy. Between him popping molars and heading into his second year, he is sooooo cranky sometimes and it's nice to just be able to strap him on my back. He can be close to me, which is what he wants, but he's also out from underfoot which is what *I* want.

Thanks, Maggie. That's good to know about the sizing. Not pregnant, I'm a 40DD and wear either XL or 1X. So should I go a size smaller when ordering?

I'm doing the kangaroo carry with Caden in the sling for the first time today. He seems to like it a lot, but it just looks like it would be so uncomfortable to have his little legs up like that (so his feet are almost up to his face). Does anyone else use that carry? Does it seem okay?

Of course, they say it's fine in the video, but I want to make sure...

I think if Caden doesn't complain, then it should be fine. Gabby has always let us "know" when she was uncomfortable in the sling.

Mary has never liked being tucked in. She likes to have it all hang out. I'm looking forward to her being a little bigger so I can strap her to my back for walks (I have the Moby btw)

It seems to spread his legs apart so much, I'm worried it's too far....
