Of course you could buy Nicky a baby sling, but you know how crafty she is ... and crafty people always like crafty things!
So... here are some sites that tell you how to make baby slings :) I'm sure that having more than one would be fun, so don't worry if you just feel compelled to make one but you're worried that someone else might be doing the same thing!

Good luck and if you find any being sold around town, please do post a comment and let us know where the less crafty amongst us might buy one!

Natural Baby Care Products
Thank goodness there are lots more all-natural and organic baby care products available these days. One brand with a line of baby care products that is available in Hiroshima is Weleda. It's a reputable company and you can find out more about them by clicking here.
Some of their baby care products can be found at LOFT and maybe at Tokyu Hands. If anyone can confirm whether they're at Tokyu Hands, that would be great!
