I would like to think I am a relatively open and forward thinking guy when it comes to both parenting and fashion but I really struggle with the idea of a baby slung on daddy’s chest. I’ll just say outright to all the mom’s out there who think their husband would look “good” or “cute” with a baby sling, be careful.

Not every guy can pull that look off, dare I say most guys, most definitely - cannot. Sure maybe that’s my dish, but a lot of guys will agree with me. Maybe if you are a rockstar, and I don’t mean like a rock star dad (as in a really good dad), no, I mean you really are a bonified Rock Star, or maybe a hippie, or even a monk. Okay, and maybe if you are one of those rare birds that are actually comfortable with your metrosexual status, like a David Bowie-type or something, that will work.

I opt for the Baby Björn solution - I’m not sure why, maybe it is more “tailored/structured or maybe there is something about the design that feels more like you’re wearing a backpack backwards.

So if your husband fits one or more of the above categories or looks like one of the guys (see above) and they are cool with the idea, here are some great online stores that sell some really nice ones.

Mobiles are a traditional craft in Denmark, but the modern mobile was created in 1954 by Christian Flensted and his wife Grethe. Their first design, the Stork mobile, was a great success, and now flies all over the world.

Depth and color perception are developing in leaps and bounds during Baby’s tender first few months and mobiles add a wonderful point of interest for them as they are lying in the crib. Since their color perception is rudimentary at first, high-contrast mobiles are said to be best.

Flensted Mobiles are created so that the elements are in constant motion while the entire mobile maintains a harmonic balance. Each mobile is carefully assembled, and balanced by skillful hands. They are packed so that they are ready to hang.

Whether it is because they have an innate sense that the food that nourishes their bodies comes from somewhere other than the supermarket or that they see farms on a regular basis, children enjoy acting out the farming life with their playthings.
