Rockin’ Baby

I absolutely LOVE my Rockin' Baby pouch!!! It's the one AND ONLY baby product that I have used from the 1st day my child was born until now-he's 3!!!  Not only do we both love being close while Justin is in the pouch, but this is a seriously strong product.  I have washed it so many times and it still feels like new! Through colic and good times, I have so many memories of carrying my last child....I will be one sad Mama when I have to pass this on.

Hey ladies at Rockin Baby Sling,

This is really random, but I recently wrote and recorded a song I wrote for my two daughters, and I have to say that it's pretty much an attachment parenting song. I cannot imagine my motherhood without your slings. Both of my girls still go in them, we have really really bonded together in them. So, I just wanted to pass this song along to you guys so that you could know you had some part in it due to your influence on my mothering! I love you guys and your slings, and most of all, mothering my precious girls.

Lots of love,
Jade Lundgren

Lisa and Natasha,

I want to say thank you so very much for making the pouches. I searched for a while for a satisfactory style and such, and yours was the only one I found that adjusted with zippers. It seems so much more sturdy to me than snaps, etc. My baby truly enjoys being held next to his mommy when I use the pouch, which is usually a couple times a day. I purchased the s/m, and I LOVE the fact it is adjustable to my husband's size also. He doesn't use the pouch as much as I do, but even he enjoys it on occasion. I received the pouch before I even expected to also. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase from Rockin' Baby Sling.

Hi There!

I just wanted to write a quick note about how much we love our sling. It has been a godsend! When all else fails our newborn always goes right to sleep in it, and her daddy loves wearing it when we're out. We've actually been stopped by several other couples who ask about the sling, and I'm always more than happy to refer them to you. Thank you for having such a great product. Best wishes and Good Luck!

Hi Natasha and Lisa,

I am writing to you because I feel compelled to reach out and kiss (via email) the creators of one of my favorite things on earth which, aside from my baby, is the sling in which I carry her daily, hourly, and by the minute. My daughter Ryder is never happier than when she is riding close to me in her sling. We don't even use a stroller! Never have. As I am not sure how I would survive without my sling, which by the way has now become an accessory that I've incorporated into my daily wear, I have taken to buying them for all my friends with babies on the way. It is such an incredibly unique baby gift and when opened up and displayed at baby showers others "ooh" and "ahh" over the magnificent designs! You two are the best!

Hi Lisa/Natasha:

Just wanted to let you know that I got my sling yesterday afternoon. We already used it, and we love it! Like I mentioned to you before, you guys have an excellent customer service policy and I commend you for that.

Thank you for your excellent service once again.

Maria

Hi!

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how much I love my pouch ? ! I have been using my black and white floral pouch with my daughter since her birth 13 months ago and I still get raving compliments on it to this day! I am always passing your website on to other moms and pregnant ladies that stop and ask about it. I know for sure of 2 other friends (one my hairstylist!) who have purchased pouches. My hairstylist bought the same one I have! And I also get a lot of compliments on the high chair cover. I just want to thank you for making such a gorgeous and top quality product.

Dorothy Burton

Dear Temple,

My husband and I can not thank you enough for your incredible product! The sling has truly enhanced our lives...It has been quite a challenge with a colicky newborn, but the sling is the only thing that keeps her happy! I can finally go to the grocery store again! I really appreciate your incredible customer service as well; I can not thank you enough for accommodating us on such short notice and sending me the pouch in the interim. I see why Cheryl Lynn speaks so highly of you!

Thanks Again,
Kathy

The pouch arrived today and I gave it a try almost immediately. Up until now I've been using a traditional no-name brand sling. Walks have generally left me with an aching back, but after only a few minutes I can definitely say that your product is definitely well made and much better on my back. My one month old daughter has taken to being fussy lately but goes to sleep in it within a minute or two, so it definitely gets her stamp (or drool) of approval. I appreciate you providing options for guys, too. A good number of baby item vendors haven't figured out that not every guy wants to rock fuchsia and faux leopard skin. Thanks for providing great customer service as well. I'll be recommending your product to my friends.

Cheers - John from Tokyo

just wanted you ladies to know how much we love our sling. I use it all the time, and have since my baby Josie was 2 weeks old- she's 8 months now. She LOVES it too- now when I'm getting ready to put it on her whole face lights up, and when she's in it now she loves to hold on to the ring. I get compliments on it ALL the time (I have the orange one with the Asian pocket and purple rickrack) and I always refer people to your website, which is how I found it.

I haven't seen it for sale anywhere around here! (Boston) so if you guys would like help promoting your sling in New England, let me know!

anyway, I'll be ordering another one soon, I just love it so much - my only problem will be deciding which one! :)

thanks alot for making such a beautiful, quality product. (all of the other slings are so ugly.)

photo was taken by Markus Cuff, an LA based photographer. people always comment on how well-behaved and good my baby is - she hardly ever cries - and I attribute that in part to our using the sling! all babies want is to be with their mama (or dad, etc) and since I do so much of our daily activities with her in the sling (laundry, dishes, shopping) she's much happier and often falls asleep, as you can see in the photo I sent. and I take her everywhere in it! parties, walking the dogs - it's perfect for the airport- keeps my hands free for my bags!

anyway, you can see how much I love it?

Juliette Hannan and Josie

Dear Natasha and Lisa,

I just received my sling, and as you can see - we love it! Little Benjamin fell right asleep as soon as he was nestled inside. The sling is amazingly comfortable, and I really love the pattern and colors. I am sending some photos of my family for you to see. (not too proud am I??)

Thank you so much,

Melissa, Brian, and Benjamin Mesko

My daughter LOVES the sling. Her baby was born on jan 26th and the sling was one of the things that she really wanted...and I got it for her.

thanks

Natasha and Lisa,

Received my sling (black with flames) upon returning from a walk with baby in a stroller (ugh!!). LOVE IT!! The fabric and trim are beautiful. The rings are definitely sturdy. I had been doing research on various slings because the carrier I had (a Snuggli...another ugh!!) was killing my back and Daniel always looked sssooo...uncomfortable. He loves being carried though because he wants to see me AND everyone else. The stroller and other carrier didn't allow this. He was a bit resistant at first so we tried several short interval tries. By the third time he was diggin' it! It is much more comfortable on my back and neck as well as being more comfortable for baby. It will also be alot easier to nurse since I can use the tail to cover him with, blankets either slip off or get yanked of by Mr. Daniel. I wish I had found you ladies sooner, I'd have loved this when he was a newborn. But I am VERY glad I DID find you! I'll be back when the next one comes...um...maybe sooner... :) Anyway...I wish you both much success on your fabulous product. I am an active member of several Mom groups and have signed on to two charity walks and will definitely pass along your website! P.S. I included a picture of Daniel and me wearin' our new "accessory".

- Kerri

Thank you from baby Austen! The sling arrived, and Mommy put me in it right away?I smiled at her and fell right to sleep. Mommy loves it, too!??Mommy's going to try it with my big sister when I wake up!

Thank you!

hello hello... i bought my rocking baby sling when my son justin was about two months old. he's now a whopping' 4 months and i use my sling every day. i also have a newly turned 5 year old and i find it easier for me to use the sling , then pull the big ol' stroller out of the trunk!!! i researched slings as my due date got closer finally i found your site and looked for a retailer near me. at first i was a little hesitant about buying it...my husbands in the military and as a stay at home mom i have to budget sometimes...but i felt more then comfortable to shell out the little over $100.00 dollars to buy the rocking baby sling. i have never made a smarter buy. even my husband who almost rung my neck after i bought it cant stop bragging about it. bravo ladies. i just wish the the retailer had the pattern i wanted..but at the time i didn't care and i'm glad i didn't wait any longer...i just have so many wonderful things to say...all the mommy sites i go to i plug the rockin baby sling....i love it.... when my husband deployed we had to do all this running around getting him ready to go...and i would just throw on my sling pop justin in and be in and out of the store. living the military lifestyle we are always on the go or getting my husband ready to go, and the rockin baby sling helps! strollers now'a'days are just too bulky plus i think i broke mine shoving it into the trunk!!! honestly i havent used the stroller in two months..who needs it! i have my sling!... thanks

love marie (and justin)

Dear Lisa,

I just wanted to write to let you know how much I love your product. My sister gave me a beautiful brown Rockin' sling when my son Jasper was born. I honestly don't know how I'd live a day without it. My son LOVES to be in it, to nurse, sleep, or just hang out with mom.

But the main thing is that literally EVERYWHERE I go with it I get compliments from friends and strangers alike. "What a beautiful sling! Where did you get that." One woman from Guatemala nearly accosted me on the street. She was giggling and telling me in broken English, this is how we carry our babies in my country." It made her so happy to see my son smiling up at her. Your sling has been a phenomenal conversation starter, as well as making my life easier and my son happy. I wish I had a fistful of your business cards in my sling pocket, because I could sell tons of these things for you!! I always tell them the name, but seriously, if you have cards with your web site on them, I can hand them out!

Thanks again. I intend to give these as gifts to all my other friends who have new babies.

Best regards,

Adrienne (and Jasper)

Hi Lisa & Natasha,

This past Friday I received the baby sling and all I wanted to say is THANK YOU! Not only did it arrive sooner that I thought but I it is much better than I expected. The quality is superb, not to mention the style!

At the moment I am practicing at home following the instructions booklet. Our favorite position is putting Victoria on my hip because it gives me more freedom to move around and gives me a greater sense of security.

Thank you again!

Lourdes

Hey-

I just wanted to tell you all that your slings are awesome. I ordered my sling for my first baby (19months ago) - and everywhere we went, people would ask me where to get one. I now have a 2 month old, and without the sling I would be pulling my hair out! She was a bit colicky for a week or two, and the sling (with the help of some amazing herbal remedy from Australia) really got us through some tough patches. Of course the sling is perfect for those first weeks when you are afraid some stranger is going to touch your beautiful newborn and give them cooties, but it is also great for my toddler, too! I don't remember ever wearing the sling without someone asking me about it. I always give your website out - and I just checked out your website again for the first time since I purchased the sling - you have been very busy, and obviously very successful! Good luck with your new endeavors, and continue putting out those great ideas!

Cheers,

Holly

What did i do before I got one of your slings?I just had #2 and can't imagine life without it. I used the dreaded bjorn for #1 and really really hated it so I decided to try something new this time and ordered one of your slings (stripes on one side and butterflies on the other) and am beyond impressed. Not only is it totally comfortable for my daughter but also really comfortable for me (easily adjustable and not hot at all!). Best of all, my hands are free to play with my son and do things around the house. many many thanks,

Amanda

Dear Natasha and Lisa,

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I wanted to wait until the sling arrived so that I could confirm its arrival and thank you. It has and we are very happy, so thanks (basically....the Rockin' Baby Sling is gorgeous).

For fun, I have attached a photo of Esther and me loving our Rockin' Baby Sling.

Regards, Phoebe

Hello Natasha and Lisa --

I got my Rockin' Baby Sling about two weeks ago and I just want to compliment you on a WONDERFUL product. I am so very pleased with both the quality and the style of the sling. My sister is already planning on buying one of your slings for her baby arriving in February based on my enthusiasm.

As you already know there are tons and tons of companies making all kinds of baby carriers, so buying one was kind of a headache. However when I visited your website I was sold based on the great-looking products and web design. Whoever does your website does an awesome job. And ditto to whoever picks out your fabrics. It was so hard to pick just one (so maybe I need two . . .)

My baby Ivo is four weeks old now, and we've been slingin' for about two weeks. You are right there is definitely a "learning curve" but practice helps and now we are old pros. Ivo LOVES the sling and so do I. When he is fussy I just pop him in and go out for a walk or just walk around the house and he stops crying instantly. I live walking distance from the grocery store, post office, and my office, so we can do all of our errands in the sling and of course everyone wants to know "Where did you get that cute baby carrier" or they say, "I wish I had had one of those for my babies". Yesterday I got to shop for makeup and fun stuff at Target for an hour because Ivo was snuggled in the sling, happily looking around at all the sights. I never could do that with him in the carseat bucket. He would hate it after about fifteen minutes. The sling just makes life so much easier and we both enjoy the closeness it allows us to have.

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks again for a very great product and I wish you the very best. My husband also sends his compliments. Here is a cute photo of my two "boys".

Devoted Slingers, Amanda, Josh and Ivo Morey

Lisa,

I just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for the sling. I gave it to the new mommy yesterday < she just fell in love with it. The way the slings are portrayed on the website make them out to be great!!! And then when I got it... it well surpassed all my expectations. It is not only practical, but it is BEAUTIFUL too!! Right when she got it she opened the package and we were sliding baby Gavin in it. Thanks for providing such a wonderful product.

OKAY!! I think I am ready to order MY sling now!!

Thanks! Mandi Green

Thanks Rockin Baby Sling! I can't tell you how much I love my new sling. When my baby didn't like our front baby carrier, I thought I would have to carry her everywhere I went. Simple things like going to the post office or the grocery store were so difficult because she also didn't like to sit in a stroller. But with rockin baby sling she's snug and happy everywhere we go. It's so much easier to go shopping now. She's so happy and it's so much easier than trying to figure out one of those complicated carriers that are hard to get in and out of. I am so glad to use such a great product! Thanks-A-Million

Erika M. Lambert

I purchased one of your slings when my son was only a few months old. He's now 15 months and I'm still using it. I have a black with blue pinstripe and stars sling and I've received TONS of compliments on it. You guys make the most stylish slings. You rock!!!

Love,
Arlene and 15 month old Elijah

Hey Natasha,

I'm the guy who works at the Coffee Table in Eagle Rock, and after we talked I picked up a sling at Grommetville for my sister for Christmas. She lives in Manhattan and when she opened her gift her eyes lit up and she started laughing. "All the moms I know in New York love these things!" She even recognized your label. Just wanted to thank you for providing me with the ability to give a hip and functional holiday gift for both mom and niece.

Light,
Joe

Hi!

I wanted to tell you that I bought the sling in our La Leche League Whittier auction that your company donated. I absolutely love the fabric (it is the vintage orange, and blue paisley with brown trim) It was a hot item at the auction, and I was excited to have the high bid.

I am a leader with the Whittier group, and am expecting my second baby to be born in January, so I am excited to use my new sling!!

Thank you so much for your donation, it really means a lot for our group to have the money needed to help breastfeeding moms in the Whittier and surrounding areas!

Justine Whitehead

You make beautiful slings that are still trendy. Motherhood does not equal conformity, thank you for acknowledging that!

Tara Echols

I received my kimono-patterned sling today. It's absolutely gorgeous, the fabric is of terrific quality, and it seems extremely well made. My husband and I are so excited to have it, and know that we will be stopped all over Toronto by people asking us where we got it.

The purchasing experience was a great one (i.e. buying online was simple, safe, and the delivery was quick and as promised).

Thanks for making such a functional and stylish product!

Best regards,
Anna Bridges

Hi Lisa and Natasha,

Just thought you'd like to know that I got the blue gingham sling today and I LOVE IT. Believe me, I have tried every sling in the book with my first child:

• Baby Bjorn (can't nurse in it, will force you to hold your posture in weird positions)
• New Native Baby Carrier (not adjustable--it's all one piece)
• Over the Shoulder Baby Holder (great, but so bulky it practically takes a whole bag up by itself)
• Nojo Baby Sling (ditto.)

Now I have finally found a sling that's compact, cool, beautifully made, and all-season (very important in the Northeast, where temperatures range from 20 - 90+ degrees in baby's first year!) I can't wait to start using it with baby number 2 (who should arrive any minute now.)?

Thanks!
Minne Ho

Natasha and Lisa,

You have no idea what a load off my mind your slings have provided me with! With six girlfriends pregnant right now, shopping for baby shower gifts was about to become a full time job for me. All women are giving birth to their first child, and knowing how daunting and all-consuming a new baby can be, the one thing I really wanted to give my friends was a little peace of mind, and an ounce of freedom. Slings are definitely the best way to get that...but I've always wondered why the darn things have to be so ugly? What self-respecting, hip, hot mama really wants to wear ultra-faded denim, hippie weaves, or all that bulky padding? As if a new mother doesn't have enough padding and bulk to worry about?!? I searched and searched, after lamenting the lack of cool designs for slings, and finally found your website, and the absolute wealth of great slings in cool colors and fantastic patterns. I was so happy when every single woman at the baby shower ooohed and aaahed at the totally mod navy blue and psychedelic turquoise sling I had bought for my friend. And with several other expectant mothers there...they all turned to me, nodding their approval, wondering when their Rockin' Baby Sling would be in the mail...

(I'll be calling you again soon!!!)

Thank you!

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know we did order a sling from you and we are loving it! It's so great. We're recommending you to another couple we know who are expecting.

Thanks - David Hamma

Just to let you know that my sling arrived today < I think it is fabulous, the colors and fabrics are great, even better than the picture on your site. Thank you very much! It is so nice to have something other than a navy sling!

I'll keep checking your site for your new additions!

Regards
Stephanie

hey guys, it got here today and its beautiful!!!
Thank you!!!

Lauren

Hi Lisa and Natasha,

I just wanted to let you ladies know how much my daughter and me love your sling. I call it "baby valium" because she always calms down and/or falls asleep in it! In fact, anytime we go anywhere, my husband always asks me if I remembered to pack the sling. My daughter loves the Snuggle Hold (she is 3 months) and when she falls asleep in it, I can gently loosen the sling and let her sleep for a while (see attached picture). I have already given it as one gift, and plan on giving it whenever I can. Also, people stop me all the time and ask me where I got it, because the colors are so beautiful.

Thanks for such a great product - Maria

Wow, I visited your site and think your fabric selection is so great. I currently carry the Maya Wrap as well as the New Native at my site. I had considered carrying The Hip Hugger but thought it was not as versatile as far as different positions compared to the price. Yours, however can be used forever, from birth till 35 pounds, lots of time. It seems worth the price to have a cool fabric, since a mamas sling is part of her wardrobe. Your sling is not padded, yahoo, I hate padding, and fantastic fabrics. Its hip and cool, not hippy.

My site is at http://cames.homeip.net/slingmama

Its being reconstructed right now, I am making it more user friendly since my traffic has increased. I am also a La Leche League leader as well and a nearly certified doula so I really have a need for different types of slings to offer to my clients.

Thanks, its really exciting to see such a great selection of fabrics and know we do not have to settle for little duckies on our slings anymore!!

love my sling, turquoise with red roses and red rickrack. I just wanted to send some kudos for such a beautiful product. My 14 week old cherub loves it when nothing else will soothe. Everyone wants to know where I bought it and I always tell them about your site! Also I would like to add how much I love its versatility. On a recent shopping trip, he fell asleep facing out like a baby kangaroo and it is so great to be able to take him out and turn him around to face me and rest on my chest and shoulder.

Thank you so much! Cheri

Hallelujah!

Just received my package with 2 slings (navy blue with orange circle trim and gray with pink ribbon) and let me just say baby is sleeping (I have a very cranky, very colickey 9 week old (6 weeks preemie-can you blame him for being cranky??!?!?) and I moved him from napping in his bassinette to napping in his sling and he's snoring away!!!! thank you so much for offering such a cool version of this! it's the only glamour I've had in months!!!!!! (and the only quiet!)

Thanks again!

Will pass on the good word to pregnant cousins and friends!

Dear Natasha and Lisa, My babysling (the second one, I guess) is finally here! It's beautiful! Thank you so much. I've already tried it and my daughter seems to love it. Here's a picture of the both of us.

Best Wishes, Rosa Pomar

I just want to say that your slings ROCK! I ordered mine the Saturday before Christmas and I received it on the following Wednesday. Now that is fast shipping! I was just hoping to get it in time for the New Year! WOO HOO! I have been a slinger since August when I got my Maya Wrap. Now, I love my Maya, but it always slid up to my neck and it also just was not cool looking. I then did lots of research on slings and found that a non-padded sling was really best for me, but yet my Maya wasn't working the way I wanted it to. Then I found your sling. It doesn't slide and the fabric is so nice. It feels so secure. I have no problems with it what-so-ever.

I was wondering a few things. Can I get a gift certificate for my sister in law who is going to have a baby in May? Can I get some business cards so when people ask me where I got my sling (and they already have!) I can just hand them a card? Also, do you offer discounts if you order two or more?

Thanks so much for the great, hip, Rockin sling!!! :)

Dawn

I received the sling today, thank you. I just love it! So far have only tried it out on the cat since the baby has not arrived yet. It worked well though she is what you could describe as uncooperative. Can't wait to try it out on the real deal. Will pass your info on to anyone who is in need.

Thanks, Danielle

Dear,Natasha and Lisa

The sling has arrived.

Thank you very much for sending me a beautiful sling and I am very pleased with it.

Hi,

Just to say thanks I received my baby sling today and I love it, love it!

Thanks very much,
Kathy

I received my sling on Friday as you promised! I love it! The fabric is beautiful... I am telling all of my Mommy friends about it! I heard about the rockin baby sling from my friend, Maggi Calder, who had just ordered and received hers... she had stopped a woman in the mall who had one and asked her about it. I hope your business continues to thrive!

Thanks again for such great service!

Jessica Hawkins

Hi Lisa and Natasha,

My sling has just arrived! That was close, I leave on Wednesday for a wedding! That's really great I got it on time.

The fabric is beautiful and the length seems just fine (but I haven't tried it yet, my baby is sleeping).

Thank you very much!

Dear Rockin' Baby Sling,

I wanted to thank you - sort of - for the difference you've made in MY life. Temple, my wife, gave birth to our son, Connor, in August 2001 and proceeded to spend countless hours and dollars trying to find the right, painless solution for lugging him around. When she purchased the Rockin' Baby Sling, I was at first skeptical. After all, I've come to believe that the majority of the products designed for babies and their new mothers offer little functional value.

Unfortunately for ME, the Rockin' Baby Sling gives Temple the flexibility to carry Connor in a multitude of comfortable and practical positions. I'm also quite sure that if we are lucky enough to have another child that the Rockin' Baby Sling be a great substitute to the Baby Bjorn that quickly found a permanent place in the back of our closet.

So, what you've done by providing such a terrific product is to assist my wife in determining, with little doubt, what is causing the pain in her neck...ME!

Many thanks,
Ryan Trigg
