Recommend me a sling/wrap.

I need something that is going to fit both me - size 20/22 and 5ft6 and the hubby who is XXXL and 6ft7.

Connecta fits up to size 22, or you could get an extra long fabric one x

I'm 5' 5" and DF is 6' 3" and we both use our Moby. As you wrap it yourself it fits to you. I think you can also get extra long ones as not sure a standard one would fit your DH if he is XXXL. Would be worth trying one first I think, although saying that. I tie mine at the back and my DF has to wrap it round again and tie at the front

Hi. I'm relatively new to the forum and not sure if outside links are permitted but here's an article with a lot of links to finding the right sling with comparison charts and such: https://www.examiner.com/x-23788-Mi...d3-Finding-the-baby-sling-thats-right-for-you and here's a link to patterns if you want to make your own (lots of types) : https://www.examiner.com/x-23788-Mi...1d5-Free-patterns-to-make-your-own-baby-sling

If you get a wrap type it will fit any size, or you may find it's worth it to get you each one that works for you. People have very different preferences even if it does fit both. My personal favorite was the Kangaroo Korner fleece pouch (no affiliation), because I'm very little and have chronic neck pain (and have big babies!) and it was the only type that didn't end up hurting my neck and shoulders. It was also so simple to use-- you just slip it over your neck and one arm and put the baby in whichever way you want him to be positioned. But I think every one of my friends had a different favorite.

Good luck! HTH!

ooooooooooo i can't wait to see them.
If ever you are after a ring sling i am the same size as you and bought an ellaroo one in a size medium and it is massive with plenty of length left so either a medium or large would fit you both. x

 

[jayne191284]

Im afraid they arent very exciting. Both plain black as the OH has to wear them too lol

Thats good to know about the ellaroo. Is it anything like this? https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FREEDOM-BABY...emQQptZCarriers_Backpacks?hash=item45e99a95e6

I was a size 22 when DS was born.... having breastfed for two and a half years, I'm now a size 14.... But I reckon that size does make a difference to which sling works for you, and being curvy a ring sling works really well.
