Scarlett Sling.
{via Polkadot Papoose}.
$64.

Slings are nothing new in the history of parenting, but it’s taken the West a bit to get into the swing of things. I wore a baby sling with both C and P and endured the sidelong glances {and o.k. a few *hippie* comments} from the uninitiated. I’m happy to see they’ve taken off in popularity because the benefits of using a sling are abundant. Never mind that getting some laundry done with a happily snoozing baby snuggled next to you is considerably easier than listening to them cry from the other room.

Polkadot Papoose has gone a long way to improve the style of the original sling, and I know you won’t get snickers but compliments on your fashionable baby attire. The slings are made from 100% cotton so they’re breathable and light, and the patterns are so cute I wouldn’t mind wearing one everywhere I go. The slings are reversible {!} so you get two patterns in one, and each side has a binkie pouch {genius} so the binkie doesn’t get lost somewhere in sling-land.
