must have monday: mod mum baby sling

I have lots of stuff that have proven to be incredibly useful throughout motherhood. But the one thing I used the most was our baby sling. Yes, I am a baby carrier to the max. With Hadley, I carried her more than I pushed her in the stroller. I carried her until I was five months pregnant and just couldn't handle a 27 lb kid on my hip. And now, while I need to use a stroller more often than not because I have two little ones, I carry Hayden in the sling while pushing Hadley. I could write for days on why I like to carry my babies, but here is an article to check out about the benefits of babywearing so we can get on to the fun stuff!

My sling of choice is my Mod Mum sling. About a year and a half a go Hadley and I were perusing a baby show in Los Angeles and I left my other sling at home in the wash and we had to use the stroller. No big deal, that's what we have it for. As we were perusing the aisles I came across Mod Mum Slings booth and fell in love with their fabrics. Just gorgeous! And I had to purchase one, justifying my purchase of another sling is for back-up. I am glad I bought it because I use it like crazy! Check these beautiful slings out:
