I have never been one to use those popular slings so many moms swear by. I’ve tried a couple in the past and never got the hang of them. My sling dysfunction is finally over now that I have my very own Heavenly Bundle (and I’m not talking about my nine-month-old).

Heavenly Bundle slings were designed by Joanna, a Certified Recreational Therapist and mother, who “”¦bought several [infant carriers] to help [her] get through the day (baby needed [her] undivided attention”¦). [She] felt like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears … ‘this one is too hot, this one hurts my back, this one makes me look like I should try out for the Dallas Cowboys!’” I couldn’t agree with her more!

The Heavenly Bundle Sling is a pouch-like, non-adjustable carrier worn over your body on one shoulder and rests on or above your opposite hip for comfort. Though the sling is non-adjustable, don’t worry. All Heavenly Bundle slings come in a variety of sizes. Simply follow the measuring instructions online to find the perfect fit.

Once I received the Heavenly Bundle, I decided to try out the hip hold. It worked perfectly! My arm didn’t feel like it was going to fall off from holding him while running around the house, and he seemed to enjoy hanging out a bit more with Mom. And we can hang out for a while, as each Heavenly Bundle Sling is made to support the weight of a newborn up to a 35-pound toddler.

One of the best features of this sling is the non-bulky leg padding/cushion, which is great for toddler legs in a hip carry or as a head cushion for smaller infants. Each sling also comes with a toy loop and inner pocket with flap. But enough about function””what about fashion? Heavenly Bundle’s got it with its selection of fabulous cotton prints and solids, all of which are reversible and all of which are machine washable. And taking your sling on the go is easy with ties you can use to neatly roll up your pouch and fit it right inside your purse or diaper bag. All this in one little sling””it’s heavenly!
