Pros: Comfortable for mom and baby. Cons: If worn improperly can cause backache.
I used the baby sling on all three of my children. My first child (now twelve) is autistic and has a variety of digestive tract disorders. One of these disorders caused me to have to keep him at a 45 degree angle upright at all times. I could not...

Pros: comfortable to wear Cons: hard to position baby in the beginning
The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder is a must have for all moms. I don't know how I ever managed without one with my first child. I can carry my son around (who is over 18 pounds at 4 months) with no trouble at all, as opposed to other carriers I have...

Pros: easier on your back and neck than a snugli-type carrier, great for baby Cons: getting used to a floppy baby
My husband surprised me with an over-the-shoulder baby holder from Toys-R-Us in an effort to help me cope with our very high-need second child. By high-need I mean that our daughter was not easily comforted, she was very alert at birth and continued to...

When you have your first child you can put of chores and going out and just enjoy holding your baby. While doing this baby doesn't cry as much to be picked up. With your second and later children you dont have this relaxtion and joy, your older kids...

Pros: Keeps baby close, lets you nurse in public Cons: Awkward to use, doesn't feel secure
I purchased the OTHBH because I had seen it used by other mothers and it looked like a great idea. I could nurse in public, carry the baby close to me and have two free hands to work with. When the OTHBH arrived, it looked great! High quality...

Pros: Easy to use, encourages bonding, durable fabric Cons: Hot to wear in the summer.
I really wish I had known about this sling when my son was a newborn. I bought the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder when Bronson was 5 months old. I love how easy it is to use and adjust baby's position. When he's cranky and just needs to be close to me,...

Pros: Comfortable, Easy to use and transport Cons: A bit pricey
I am a fourth time mommy and my new little bundle of joy loves to be held. I wasn't planning on purchasing a carrier since I had purchased a stroller shortly before he was born. Our first outing in the stroller was a miserable failure, I went to the...

Pros: It's a sling, attractive colors and patterns Cons: Too padded, limited adjustability, baby gets "lost"
This was one of the first baby slings I had tried. All of the parents in my Bradley Birth class and at my La Leche League meetings raved about the Over The Shoulder Baby Holder. After hearing such recommendations I thought I have got to get one of...

Pros: Very easy to learn Cons: none
I bought this sling because I coincidentally met a distributor for the product. I had decided that I didn't like slings because I had one at home ( Nojo) that was completely difficult and uncomfortable to use.
I commented on how her baby...

Pros: Less pressure on back, safe and comfy, lasts for years, you pick the fabric. Cons: none that I can think of.
If you know how to use it, wash it(several times) like it is recommended before use, use it often and even view the tape you can buy( for a refundable 10$) that gives wearing suggestions, you will have no trouble with this product. I got my first one...

Pros: Great for hiding your breast if you are a breastfeeding mother! Cons: They aren't safe and they are not good for the hot summer months!
I personally am a breastfeeding mother and I find the older shoulder baby holder both helpful, yet still dangerous! I only use my sling to hide my breast when I am nursing in public! I would never carry my 3 month around in this sling. It does not...

Pros: Durable, affordable & easy to use Cons: Fabric gets hot in summer heat
After trying and using more than 30 different slings, the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder was my favorite. I like the stability and craftmanship and the new 3 ring feature ensured the sling from ever being able to come apart.
It does take some...
