Hotslings...How HOT are these baby carriers?



We are firm believers in the importance and the benefits of carrying your baby with a baby carrier or a baby sling (baby wearing). Baby wearing promotes bonding and closeness between mom (or dad) and baby, and can work miracles when a cranky baby needs soothing. One of the main reasons why we are so devoted to baby wearing is because, in our own experience, it gives us the freedom to move around with ease and we can use both hands to do things around the office or the house, while keeping baby with us all the time. We definitely recommend baby wearing to all parents of babies and very young children. One of our favorites is Hotslings!
Their slings are made of just a single piece of fabric and there are no straps, or rings, or buckles of any kind to mess with. They are so simple yet so beautiful and practical.
We want to hear from other moms and dads who have used or are using their HOTSLINGS and their experience with wearing their baby. Please share your opinions with our readers and help them make the best decision when it comes to buying the right baby wearer. Thanks!!!

to bring back that pre-pregnancy LEAN and SEXY Goddess, here is your best weapon: A Belly Wrap that helps tighten and shrink your tummy post pregnancy.

This eco-friendly Bamboo Belly Bandit™ is inherently anti-microbial, moisture wicking and is three times more durable than cotton. As a plant, Bamboo is a completely sustainable crop from the ground up. It requires no pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or additional water. Just add normal rainfall and it grows as much as four feet per day! Fabric made from Bamboo is one of the softest, all natural, GREENEST, fibers around. Being earth-friendly never felt so good!
The binding of a woman’s abdomen post delivery has been used therapeutically for centuries all over the globe.

Formaldehyde and Why So Many Parents are Sold on Organic Baby Clothes

Her Baby Clothes guide provides parents with valuable information about all aspects relating to baby clothing. Her devoted readers can trust her recommendations when deciding on money saving tips, fashion trends, and eco-friendly choices for their babies.

A few months ago we spoke with Stacie about the use of Formaldehyde in Baby Clothing, the toxic effects that Formaldehyde may have on people (specially babies), and why Certified Organic Baby Clothes are the best alternative to avoid these chemicals. After our conversation, Stacie did some more research and wrote a very informative article:
