She IS wearing it incorrectly! As an obsessive sling and carrier collector, I can say this is THE WRONG way to wear it! This could be dangerous. Slings are designed to be worn up high for many reasons, and this is bad for her back! The baby isn’t well protected and will move around too much. I think she is doing it for a fashion statement. We wouldn’t be able to see her low-cut top if she wore the sling in the correct position.

Whenever I take a look at the 4th pic I just *see* (in my head!) River falling to the ground…

I could never use a PSling, I’d worry way too much about my baby’s safety! It’s probably made out of some very resistent fabric, but still… I’m paranoid like that

Hey Amy

I live in NYC and totally agree about the bugaboo. I don’t spend a lot of money on many baby things (I buy a lot of used baby clothes on ebay), but since we NYers have to walk everywhere and don’t have cars, a durable stroller is worth the money IMO. Nothing takes those cobblestones like a bug.

As far as the sling is concerned, I love baby slings, but this particular one (at least the way the celebs on CBB are wearing them) makes the kid totally disappear in all that rolled up material. It looks kind of dangerous! It seems like there really isn’t a baby inside of there, but maybe her wallet and some keys. LOL.

does anyone recognize her shoes? they look so comfortable and stylish! i need to find shoes like that.

as for the sling, it’s really such a beautiful design object/textile art piece. it really completes her outfit without being too loud. such a lovely pattern.

She looks sooooooooo sweet, that I’m about to get a toothache. How truly relaxed and comfortable she looks. If you are going to have nannies and maids, this is a reasons to have them, to have quality time w/ them. Unlike someone that shall remain nameless, she is spending time w/ her baby. If she has the money and well off friends and family, she can spend it however she wants. I also love what she’s wearing!

She looks great, and good for her for getting back into circulation so quickly, with the baby.

And who needs to be so judgemental about how she wears it? If her and the baby are comfortable, it’s fine for them. I’m sure the baby would let her know if he wasn’t cozy.

Why are we so hard on our fellow mothers?

I have to say I am completely jealous! I was still a wreck 1.5 weeks after my first. I could barely get a shower in let alone go out and about running errands and doing laundry!!! I am sooooo happy for her! She wears motherhood very well. Go Keri!

RE: the Bugaboo comment – I have one and I love it and use it every single day in NYC… There isn’t any other carriage I know that I can manuever with one hand through the narrow aisles of a city supermarket with one hand!!!! So maybe it’s pointless for some people but it was money well spent in my case – oh and it was a gift too – which maybe her sling was but in any case it’s nobody’s business… it’s not like she’s getting public assistance and then wasting money on expensive gear @@

i think she looks great. and the sling is fabulous! i recently bought the p-sling. it is expensive, i know. but i really didn’t like the fabrics and colors of other slings. also the quality of the p-sling is fantastic — it is not a mass produced product. i also like the tail which you can drape over your other shoulder as a nursing cover-up. these are made with traditional japanese kimono handweaving, hand dyeing, and sewing techniques. there are no harsh chemicals — everything is natural. colors are very subtle and beautiful. also the linen or cotton fabrics are very breathable, soft but very strong –they hold up to 39 lbs (a 3yr old). to me it wasn’t just a utilitarian product, but also a handcrafted work of textile art — like a beautiful scarf. i think it would be lovely to pass it down as an heirloom.

I have a PSling that I bought for my first daughter. I hate to admit that it was a huge waste of money for me. Pretty, yes, but I still really can’t figure out how to use it! I guess I’m a sucker…

But she looks amazing. Love the cute outfit. I didn’t look nearly that good at 1.5 weeks post-birth. Shoot, three months later I still don’t look that good!
