It looks like River is sucking his thumb. So cute!!!

hey, i really like her sunglasses…anyone know who makes them ?

also, baby bjorns are only rated to about 25lbs.

slings are for as big a child as is comfortable to carry – somewhere around the 35-40lb size.

I would think instead of switching to a bjorn, she would instead simply upgrade to a woven wrap sling, which distributes the weight better over the whole back with two-shoulder carries similar to a bjorn.

I have used wrap slings and love them.

My daughter is big for her age and at almost 4 still sometimes (namely when sick or just tired) loves to be in one and snuggle up.

I actually made the guaze one I still have and when she no longer uses it, we will put it in a corner of her room as a hammock or turn it into the curtains for her room.

Slings, whether bought or made are a true investment.

I’ve heard of parents making them into pillows or blankets, or using them to stuff a special pillow or as the start of a blanket or for a pillow case after they are no longer used for wearing the child because they really become similar to a lovey/blankie.

Well wouldn’t a baby bjorn give you more support when they are heavier? Maybe thats why.

Sarah’s note: In my experience, Baby Bjorns killed my back after the baby was 5 months or so, and I changed to a pouch sling and did a hip carry, or used an Ergo. It spread the weight much more evenly over my back. That’s just what was best for me though.

I think Keri and Shane make a great couple too.

I wonder why Keri hasn’t used a sling for a while. I preferred my Baby Bjorn with my kids, so I’m not judging, but she seemed to really favor the sling and now, all of a sudden, they’re gone.

Perhaps it’s because she wants River to sit up and see out more…that’s why I used mine. But the sling people I know are Sling People, if that makes sense. I just thought she’d be one of those.

What do you all think?

I love her! What a cute family.

River is getting so big! Shane is one hot Daddy too.
