 Slings are wonderful for carrying your baby around to do the shopping, hiking, cleaning and even around your favorite festivals!!  And remember, they are great cover ups for nursing, warm during the winter months, and great for shading a sleeping baby from the sun. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="12d5f780.jpg" border=0 width="95" height="120" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="3b25a780.jpg" border=0 width="90" height="120" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="1077a780.jpg" border=0 width="122" height="120" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">    <IMG SRC="3ab5f780.jpg" border=0 width="95" height="120" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> We make our slings unpadded so that they will take you from Newborn to Toddler with ease!  In the second picture, our very own 11 pound 2 month old Anna is nursing comfortably hands free (use common sense here Mamas, don't take your hands off your baby while bending over or down and make sure she is secure at any other time), picture 1 holds 18 1/2 pound Daniel just looking at his Mama and picture #3 shows at a year old nursing and the last picture holds Isaac, who was about a year and a half.  As you can see, they are both very comfortable and nursing is a breeze!   </div> <div> Please let us know you size  Petite (Slender and under 5'4"), M-XL("average" through plump-like me:) or Plus (over 220 or 6 feet) Plus is also a good size if you like to have an EXTRA long tail for coverage or if you have a very large young baby.  </div> <bR> <div> You can see how these slings fit a woman my size in the pictures below.  Picture one is a petite, 2 is a M/XL, 3 is a Plus.  This might help ya out to see which size to order.</div> <bR> <div> Petite                                M/XL                             Plus   </div> <div> <IMG SRC="29596c80.jpg" border=0 width="150" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="29384c80.jpg" border=0 width="132" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <IMG SRC="29796c80.jpg" border=0 width="150" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> At waist level                    Hanging to hip level    Around knee/mid calf on me</div> <bR> <div> My sweet friend Steph made some lovely drawings for a brochure which I will include with your sling, but if you would rather have an online picture, please take a look at Kangaroo Corner for drawings, or Taylor Made Treasures for actual photographs.  They both also have lovely slings and other items, too!

 Or there are many places on the web and through the internet you can get great slings-just don't buy a sling at a department store-you probably will hate it-I did, I bought 3 before I decided to make one:)</div> <bR> <div> <I>HINT! </I></div> <div> <I>If you would like to make your own patchy one, make sure to LINE IT with a solid fabric (muslin works great and is cheap!) so that the seams are not supporting your baby's weight-you need a solid foundation to support your child :) Also, larger diameter rings might adjust more smoothly, try </I><A HREF="http://www.elizabethlee.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.elizabethlee.com"><U><I>http://www.elizabethlee.com</I></U></A><I> for larger rings. (More expensive than nest mom's site but they have nylon rings up to 2 3/4 inner and also metal up to 2 1/2 inner diameter and fun colors, too!  She also has a pattern for a padded sling if you would like to try that out.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Links!</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.lactivist.com/index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lactivist.com/index.htm"><U><IMG SRC="1d8f1250.gif" border=0 width="241" height="37" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.lactivist.com/index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lactivist.com/index.htm"><U>http://www.lactivist.com/index.htm</U></A></div> <div> and their link for nursing <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#003300" FACE="Arial" >adopted babies</FONT> (yes!
