Baby Slings Recalled 4 Baby Slings Recalled
I need some help finding this?

My friend just had her son had 36 weeks and he's only just now 6 lb. at five weeks old. He's going through the stage we're he will only sleep on her, and she therefor can not get any housework done. When my son was like this, I would put him in his front pack and do my housework, and he was fine. However, my son was over 8 lb. which is why I was able to use the front pack. I was trying to find her a carrier that she can use with a newborn, but also use as he gets bigger. Since the baby slings are being recalled, and are considered dangerous, I am at a loss. If anyone knows of anything similar to what I'm looking for, I would really appreciate your help!! Thank you

She could look into the Moby wrap or Baby K'tan, which position the baby differently and are not included in the recall. The advisory for the baby slings is only for certain types of baby slings. The Moby Wrap and Baby K'tan are much more expensive (my Moby Wrap was $70) and much more difficult to learn how to use. You have to practice with a doll or a 5 pound bag of flour first before you put the baby in.

Instead of buying a wrap that may or may not be helpful, your friend needs to be realistic about what she can get done when she's taking care of a newborn. I don't know anyone with a baby younger than 6-8 weeks that had the dishes and laundry done! Unless, of course, a grandparent or friend was helping out.
