Mod Mum

We have had numerous requests recently on information for using a pouch style baby sling with twins. There is nothing easy about caring for two children at once, and we hope that getting your hands back for any amount of time will make your life a little easier!  Moms love the idea of the simplicity of pouch style baby slings, and we would love to give a little direction on how to use them.  We are always here to help moms simplify their life, and with twins on the way, you will need all the help that you can get!

Here are few pictures of a moms with twins who purchased slings from us.  They were was amazed at how easy and comfortable it was to hold both babies and toddlers!

Here is a mom that we met in Midway, UT who was so thrilled to be able to carry her infants in two baby slings.  After putting the first baby into the sling, she was able to slide the baby sling to her side to allow space for the other baby.  After putting on the second sling and cradling her infant into the second sling she slid it to the other side until both babies felt comfortable and secure.

Here is another mom we met in Sandy, UT who had twins who were about 6 months old.  They are at the age where they enjoy sitting upright and looking out at their world.  We suggested the hip carry for her girls.  She was amazed at how comfortable it was to hold both of her girls at once.  She put the first sling on and helped her daughter into the sling.  Then she was able to add the other sling to her opposite shoulder and put her sister in!  The girls loved being in eye contact with each other and with mom.

The wonderful thing about our baby carriers, is that you can use them to carry your two kids for about 3 years.  They truly do grow with your child, carrying them in a variety of comfortable positions as they grow.  From infant to toddler you can have the ease and comfort of carrying your kids around while keeping your arms free to get everything else in your life done!

Just like everything else with twins, you will have to buy two slings in order to carry both children.  However, with the separate slings you also have the option of only using one sling and carry one child while someone else uses the other sling to carry the other child!

We love getting questions from mom’s on the best ways to use their baby slings!  We have decided to start posting some of the questions on the blog with our answers to help all you mom’s out there! 

Heather asked:

Hello, I read on your wearing guide that you can carry your baby in the cradle position up to 9 months. Do you have an approximate weight and/or length? Our son is 4 1/2 months and is currently 16.5 pounds and 26″ long.
Thanks!
Heather

Hey Heather,
 
Most kids at that age like to be in more of a sitting cradle position while they are awake.  Simply put them in the sling sitting up slightly and allow their head and arms to remain out of the sling.  Ensure that your sling is pulled up to the babies armpits, so that they are safe and secure between the folds.   At four months babies are becoming very alert to their world around them and will love to look out.  It is incredibly stimulating for them to see the world at your level.  When your baby gets tired, you can simply lay them back between the two folds of fabric and let them sleep while their entire body and head are supported by the sling. 
 
My son loved to sit and sleep like this until he was 10 months old.  Each child will vary in how long they will comfortable they will be sleeping in this position.
 
After kids are too long for the cradle carry, they will love cozying up to you in the hip carry.  When they get tired, just pull the fabric all the way up to their shoulders and they can sleep comfortably in that position with their head resting against your chest.  You can also move them around to the front of your body for a cozy belly to belly
 cradle!
 
Thank you very much for contacting us.  Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions!
 
Thanks, Lisa
