I've recently made a few baby slings and have had to show some friends how to use them. I hope this is helpful for you all. I use a maya wrap type sling. It is adjustable with 2 rings. I use them all the time with my kids. What I love most about my baby sling is that my hands are free and my back is supported. I have even cooked while my babies have been in the slings. I keep one in the car and one in the house.
If you would like your own sling I'd be happy to make one for you for $15. All you have to do is provide 2.5 yards of fabric and rings. $45 if you don't provide the fabric and rings. You can tell me what kind of patterns you'd like.
You can purchase the rings here: www.slingrings.com
This is the pattern I use if you'd like to sew your own: www.mayawrap.com or www.mammasmilk.com for many other types of slings and instructions.
Here is a list of videos from Tummy2Tummy on how to use a baby sling if you have never used one before. You'll find some other videos there by the same people for other sling positions.

Happy Slinging!
