Baby Wraps / Baby Wearing

Does anyone have experience with the Moby Wrap and/or the Baby K'Tan wrap? I need something that will keep my preemie daughter close. The ring sling simply didn't feel secure or comfortable when I used it on her brother (who came home under 5 lbs.) Also, if you know a place in Oak Park/Forest Park/River Forest or the surrounding suburbs that have one or both wraps available to try, please let me know. I need to get one within the week.

Sometimes she takes really good long naps, and sometimes she take two or three ten minutes naps. Sometimes she doesn't take any naps at all. Is this normal? I've read that I am suppose to try to put her down when she is awake, is that true for naps too? When I have tried she wakes herself up then cries forever, until she...

3 Month Old Will Not Take Naps in Crib

I have a 3 month old who will sleep in his crib at night but will not take a nap in his crib during the day. I have "blacked" out his room so lighting is not the issue. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. He will sleep in the swing during the day or on me. I'm getting frusturated and nervous b/c we are going on a vacation in a month and don't want to have to pack the swing accross the country! Any advice will be appreciated

Ring Sling for Breastfeeding

I was wondering if anyone had success using a ring sling for carrying their baby? I have 3 baby carriers already (Peanut shell...baby is too squished, Ellaroo wrap... kind of impractical, and the Bjorn... I use it the most, but can't breastfeed!)but I really want one that I can use to breastfeed without using both arms while out and about. My baby feeds so frequently, and I'm tired of just sitting on my couch all day :) I was looking at the Zolowear cotton ring sling, but someone told me the Maya wrap is more popular, and a little bit...
