I’m a Baby Wearin’ Mama! (A review and a GIVEAWAY)
September 10, 2007 by Christine - From Dates to Diapers
Filed under giveaway, product review, sling/carrier, stuff for mommy
I have worn a lot of babies in my career as a mommy, but for some time I have wanted to find a comfortable way to wear my babies. I had (and unfortunately used) a well-know baby carrier with my first four, tried the cheap over-the-shoulder infant slings, wanted desperately to buy an Ergo Carrier (but didn’t) when I had Ben, BUT was determined to find a fashionable sling or baby carrier, for this new little one, that would be comfortable and not kill my back.
Natacha and Lisa, from Rockin’ Baby Shop, sent me the “Origin of Love” Baby Pouch and it has truly been a lifesaver over the last several weeks! Baby Noah has no desire but to be held, preferably by moi, and I am anticipating that I will be turning to my pouch for many hours of hands-free baby carrying.
Noah just loves to be nestled so close. Among other things, I have been able to teach the older kids, wash the dishes, blog, and even nurse him… all while he is nestled close, quite content, just where he loves to be! The best part about my Rockin’ Baby sling is that it is so very comfortable to wear Baby in and it seriously doesn’t kill my back or shoulders!
An added bonus is that I honestly feel like a superstar while wearing Baby out in public!! I have been complimented and congratulated more while carrying Noah in my Rockin’ Baby sling then ever before. (It’s a good thing the attention doesn’t bother me!!)
Rockin’ Baby pouches and slings are super easy to use and take just seconds to get baby in and out. All carriers are hand made by hardworking moms, and even the company itself was founded by two hip moms (Lisa and Natasha) who firmly believe in babywearing, and wanted to fill the need for cool, stylish and functional slings.
Guess what? I have a Ziggy Stardust baby Pouch to give away to one very lucky mama or papa (yes, daddies wear their babies, too!) who thinks babywearing is rockin’!! If you don’t have a little one to wear, it would make a great gift!

I really like the Bohemian Rhapsody! It is ver nice. All of them are pretty.
I love the baby sling in the Hold Me pattern! Actually, I love a lot of them!
I love the “Oh, Oh I Love You So.” It’s green (which is my color of choice these days) and sparkly. I also love the “I’m Only Sleeping” cause it’s paisley, which I also love. I had no idea how many different options there were when it came to pouches. I’m so excited about these!
I like Sweet Child O Mine.
I love the “no suprise” pouch………..no longer available (shrug)
I blogged on my contest blog, linked in the Mr. Linky! This is incredible! I love the Wild Thing fabric.
“oh,Oh, I Love You So” and that’s the truth!
please count me in. i like the pretty baby
I love the “I’m Only Sleeping” pouch … although the “Fell In Love With A Girl” sling is a close second. Actually, there are about 5 or 6 I’d love to have and would wear. But those were my two favorites.

Wonderful give-away!!
I’m all linked up here: http://doreens-scrap-wonderland.blogspot.com/2007/09/baby-pouch.html . My fav sling is the ‘Fell in Love With a Girl’!! It immediately was the one that caught my eyes!! 
Great give away. I love the Seasons in the Sun pouch, but any would be great!
Very handsome little man you have there!
Love the sling…hope I win!
Ooh, those look wonderful – I’m hoping I win! I love the Kaleidoscope Eyes fabric!
I have tried the pouch before and absolutely love it! My favorites would have to be the Seasons in the Sun and For Those About to Rock! I really can’t be too picky, any one would be awesome!! What a wonderful giveaway. Good Luck to all…
i would love a new and better pouch. My one and only pouch doesn’t fit right and I am thinking about donating it to that company that gives baby slings to low-income mom’s. I would love to own one that actually fits!
“ROCK ON” is my absolute fave!
Check out my page (www.littlemansmama22.blogspot.com), got you all linked up!
Cradle of Love is my fav!! I have been searching for something that wont kill my back and shoulders since baby #1. I am a mommy to 8, with the most recent being born at 26 weeks. Baby wearing is so very important for preemies.
Thanks!!
