Hello,

I am 10 weeks pregnant with kiddo #2 (first kiddo 4 years, 8 months).

When we had our first kid I vividly remember the angst that came upon me whenever it came time to transfer my daughter sound asleep from the breast to the crib.

You work so hard to get them knocked out, then to have to transfer her was anxiety filled - one wrong move and she’s up again; you sadly watch that free time you were looking forward to (read: peeing then eating 2 crackers before taking a nap yourself) evaporate into thin air…

An idea I’ve had since her infancy is some sort of baby sling you place under the baby before you breast feed, then use to lift them with minimal disturbance to their crib. Once in the crib the sling stays underneath and you secure it to the sides of the crib, so you aren’t worried about it being unsafe.

Has anyone come across something like this, that makes that nerve wracking baby transfer moment smoother?

If that existed would you use it?
