21:17:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
Hathor the Cowgoddess lives in the
middle of urban sprawl with her dearest
super-husband and three wee and wise
kids. She has had an unassisted birth in
the middle of her 700 square foot
apartment, she breastfeeds on demand and
in public, she shares sleep, maintains
constant contact and unschools. Not only
does she do all of this, she does it
with grand style and verve. |
|
21:17:52 |
hathor |
yep, that's me... |
|
21:17:52 |
Webmama_Tina |

minutes ago! |
|
21:18:55 |
Webmama_Tina |

cartoon |
|
21:19:04 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
21:19:10 |
hathor |
knot tying is easy...just find a
boyscout |
|
21:19:11 |
Webmama_Tina |
so did you think up this idea yourself? |
|
21:19:12 |
SandraMort |
I wouldn't rely on MY knot tying skills
to keep the kids safe! LOL |
|
21:19:24 |
SandraMort |
I don't do the BSA thing. |
|
21:19:28 |
SandraMort |
Ohhh no. |
|
21:19:32 |
SandraMort |

sling time of my middle child |
|
21:19:39 |
Webmama_Tina |

21:21:29 |
SandraMort |
Why on earth? |
|
21:21:35 |
hathor |
she told me to call her so she could
give me some sling instructions |
|
21:21:41 |
Webmama_Tina |
sometimes i look at tyren and i and
between him, me and the sling i think we
are one big clash! LOL |
|
21:21:54 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
21:22:01 |
hathor |
my first no-sew sling was taffeta |

slings and that I knew how to use them

|
21:22:45 |
Webmama_Tina |

dancy thing |

21:25:20 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
21:25:36 |
SandraMort |
No DSL yet? Ugh. :( Sorry. |
|
21:25:38 |
hathor |
Well, I've never been asked, you can
e-mail me to find out;O) |
|
21:25:38 |
Webmama_Tina |
its essentially a ring sling where the
fabric is split in half and you can wear
on both shoulders...really really cool |
|
21:25:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
dala :( |
|
21:25:53 |
rainbowthespian |
ooh neat |
|
21:26:09 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah she has videos on her site i think |
|
21:26:15 |
rainbowthespian |
I am big fan of symmetry. |
|
21:26:20 |
hathor |
usually, I would just let you use a
comic, since I'm not very good at taking
requests |
|
21:26:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
http://www.slingsandmore.com/sling_instruction_videos.htm |
|
21:26:36 |
Daladyaphrodite |
that's a fab idea Hathor...I'll keep
that in mind. Can't believe someone
didn't think it was a \real\" sling" |
|
21:26:37 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah its hard to explain, the videos are
easier to see |
|
21:27:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok jenn...you're up! |
|
21:27:26 |
hathor |
Daladyaphrodite, the mama who complained
to me was especially upset by the sling
that Hathor |
|
21:27:34 |
hathor |
wears, which is tied on the shoulder |
|
21:27:40 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh my |
|
21:27:51 |
Webmama_Tina |
that's like traditional south american
isn't it? |
|
21:27:53 |
hathor |
she felt that it would be too
uncomfortable and |
|
21:27:58 |
Webmama_Tina |
used for centureis |
|
21:28:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
centuries even, LOL |
|
21:28:16 |
JennR1026 |
Do you have any advice for plus size
mamas? I found the sling very difficult
to use. Although my children are well
out of the sling, I have a newborn
granddaughter that I will be taking care
of and would like to sling her if
possible. |
|
21:28:23 |
hathor |
I had to explain to her that its
artistic lisence, I would wear the knot
in the back in real life |
|
21:29:02 |
Daladyaphrodite |
LOL |
|
21:29:06 |
hathor |
JennR1026, the trick is to pick up the
baby in the comfortable way, and then
find a sling or carrier that mimicks how
you're carrying already. |
|
21:29:35 |
hathor |
If you found it difficult it probably
wasn't the right one for you |
|
21:30:05 |
JennR1026 |
I have a maya wrap that i have given to
my daughter to use. hoping maybe i will
be able to use it a bit better this time
since i won't be nursing the baby |
|
21:30:24 |
hathor |
I think the pouch is the easiest, but
you have to have just the right size |
|
21:30:40 |
hathor |
the maya wrap is probably the absolute
best for learning |
|
21:31:06 |
JennR1026 |
tyvm |
|
21:31:12 |
hathor |
the best advice is to hold the baby and
then put the sling on so that it holds
the baby for you in the same position |
|
21:31:18 |
SandraMort |
She left |
|
21:31:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh woops |
|
21:31:32 |
hathor |
are there anymore question |
|
21:31:36 |
Webmama_Tina |
not yet |
