Random Giveaway: Puj Go Baby Sling
Four years ago, when my little one was a baby, slings were not as popular as they are today. They were still a little on the "alternative" side, as in, the people that I work with would say, "Remember when you came in to the office with your baby in that sling?" the way one might say, "Remember the time you shaved your hair into a mohawk and stretched your earlobes until you could poke a hot dog through the hole?" Like it kind of scared them, I think.
But I loved my sling so much. I had one of the first simple tube slings, just a ring of fabric, actually fleece, that you just slipped on and put the baby in. You didn't have to adjust it or anything. That sling was so great and they were so hard to find, my friend and I actually contemplated starting a business making and selling them ourselves.
Why am I such a crazy sling devotee? Let me count the ways...
- Slings keep you sane when your baby is going through a phase and won't let you put him down.
- Slings are like Ambien for babies, they are almost powerless against falling asleep once they are in one.
- No baby gear overload. I could go out with baby with a sling and a diaper and be good for hours.
- It's so nice having baby up close with me where we can talk and look at stuff together.
- They keep your hands free to actually do something even though you can't put baby down.
- Slings keep you sane when your baby is going through another phase and won't let you put her down.
I love slings that much and we didn't even have beautiful cool slings like Puj Go slings.
Puj Go is a mom owned company that is dedicated to simplifying parenthood and they've created a super simple and easy to use sling, stripped of all the "extras" to keep it super minimal. It's great for New York City parents because it folds up really small and you can tuck it in a pocket. It goes on really easily so you can use it to carry your baby while you try to get your stroller down the subway steps. Or those times when you are using the stroller but your baby just wants you to hold them. It's great for air travel because you can walk through security wearing your baby and they won't make you take them off! (no metal parts). And it's 100% cotton and washable.
The Puj Go sling also has a higher carrying hip-carry that creates less strain on the parent and is more supportive for your child, but it's the fabrics that will make you need one.
Carrying my baby in a sling might be the single thing I miss most about having an baby. and I would have absolutely LOVED to have one as beautiful as this. It's really not fair, but I've decided to get over my envy and give away one of these pretty slings to one lucky person.
Just leave a comment on this post by Sunday, January 13, 2008 for a chance to be our winner. And for the rest of us, Puj Go is giving 10% off all orders until February 10th, 2008 with the code POPPINS. Feel free to pass that around to your friends. Why shouldn't everyone have a prettier sling than I ever did.

I have drooled over the Go slings for a long time now, but the $50 it would cost me to buy one always ended up being allotted for more diapers or more formula or a doctor's appointment co-pay. But free give-away? Sale? Count me in!!

FYI...The babies no longer have to come out of the slings at the airport. They once did, but that has changed.

I am definitely one of THOSE WOMEN as far as slings go. I buy slings the way some people buy shoes or handbags. My son is 18 months and still rides on my back in our mei tai-stye soft carrier several times a week. We hope to have more little ones to sling around soon and as I said, I could always use another sling...

I have four different carriers now, but would love to try this one!

I am past my slinging days, but I just wanted to say that airport security always made me take my child out of her sling and carry her through the security checkpoint. The sling had to go through the machine with everything else.

I'm really looking forward
I'm really looking forward to using a sling. I lived in Kenya for a year and they carry their babies in fabric slings on their backs. Brilliant! I always said that when I have a baby I'll do the same. Puj Go slings look particularly beautiful.

My friend gave me her simple, black sling because it didn't work for her and I carry it with me ALL the time. If I'm not wearing it, it is in the diaper bag on the stroller for those inevitable, "Mommy, you must carry me now!" moments.
GO SLINGS!

My son is so big that the sling I used with my daughter don't work for him. He wants to be held constantly... and he's pushing 20 lbs at 5 months... Puj looks gorgeous and I'd love to try it!
Today's post was a warm
Today's post was a warm fuzzy for me. I really miss my sling days... Our three boys loved the sling until they were speaking. Our youngest is now four but when he saw our last sling being packed for a move he said "my sling!" It's wonderful for nursing moms, especially if they are a bit shy.
Also great for Dads to use. My husband from the Tundra would bundle all our boys into his winter wear and walk the city with little noses peeking from a parka.
There is no better way for baby travel in the city.... Keep the weight of the sling above your waist, let your baby face outward with legs tucked in the yoga position and their bottom a bit forward. The front panel should be over their arms and at about shoulder height for safety. This way baby sees all of the sights. When baby falls asleep just switch to the cradle position and ignore stray subway comments about the baby being squished. They love it!
The sling provides great comfort for new families. Blown away parents can go out and get a bite to eat with their newbie. Moms can function and interact with older siblings while slinging. It's such a winning situation. I would love to win and pass on the Puj to my new-mom-to-be friend in July.
I love these fabrics, and

I used a sling with my first child - it kept him happy and me sane, although it was somewhat bulky. We do a lot of traveling and now with child number 2 on the way, I am glad to see more information about easy-to-wear slings that are cute too! :)
