Newest Handmade Baby Sling

This newest handmade baby sling is a custom order for a new Mama. She requested orange since it is her fave. I really love this one and if it wasn't spoken for, I'd keep it for myself. It is hand-dyed linen in multiple shades of orange, much like a sunrise, and then I added an Alexander Henry floral print at the shoulder with silver rings. More photos will be up on the
Moonday's Child website soon.

Toddlers Love Baby Slings Too!

Today while I was preparing a sling to be dyed, my son who is now almost 2, wanted to go for a ride in the sling. It has been some time since I have popped him into a baby sling since we only use the ERGO now. So I crossed his legs and dropped him in and he LOVED it. You could see the comfort come over his face. He relaxed while we danced, I spun him around a bit, and we walked outside in the gentle rain as I reminisced for a moment about wearing him as a baby. Then he was ready to jump out and return to his independent toddler life once again. I was surprised at how comfortable it really was, considering he is around the 30 pound mark! I wouldn't want to go on a hike for miles, but it felt great.
