As a sling addict, I couldn't agree more. Sure I've drooled over my share of Oopa slings, but the mama-made ones are just as nice. (Or so I keep telling myself.)

For real! Slings have gotten ridiculously expensive. I'm so glad I'm past the baby years.

I first read that as "a pint glass of Shiraz" and thought, "Hm. That's about right." I liked the sling for a while, but Jillian got heavy/squirmy early on and would not stay put! Too much stuff to put in her mouth!

I got something called a psling which is massively overpriced ... linen sling from japan. I got it 2 days before giving birth as a crazy hormonal impulse purchase. Anyway, maybe it was not worth what I paid, but it is definitely the best thing we ever got. We use it all the time and it can be used up to 39 lbs. Because of the fabric, we were able to use it in the very hot weather while we were on vacation without the baby getting hot. Also, I never fail to get compliments on it.

I have two slings, but I was one of the idiots who was afraid my children would fall out. I never got it.

I have a Maya Wrap and when people find out it cost 50 dollars, they're amazed. *That* cost 50 dollars? They'd probably fall over dead if I said it cost 300!

The Sakurabloom sling seem like they have way too much fabric. I have a Hotsling for my 3-month-old and it's just a two-layer tube--it couldn't be simpler or easier.
