Congratulations to soon-to-be mom Cynthia G. of Aurora who won a DadGear pack for her husband Joel, a soon-to-be dad!

Pssssssssst! Make sure to sneak away from your Father’s Day revelries to enter Mile High Mamas’ giveaway for a cool Mod Mum baby sling. Because don’t you deserve to be indulged as well?!

When my children were babies, I was never a sling person. I had a Baby Bjorn and then my children graduated to an R.E.I. backpack. On a whim, I bought a sub-par sling off eBay but never used it because 1) It hurt my back and 2) It was ugly. And yes, I really am that vain.

So I was admittedly wary when Mod Mum contacted me to review their slings. Sure, the designer fabrics were absolutely darling but would my 22-month-old toddler tolerate being in it? And more importantly, would my back survive it?

Yes to all of the above. I first tested it during a hike when my little guy had grown too weary to continue. I whipped out my sling and after an initial protest, he quickly molded himself to me and the rest is history. I am now a Mod Mum sling convert!

We are pleased to offer one lucky mama the Mod Mum baby sling of her choice! Simply email us at with “Mod Mum” in the subject line. Please include your mailing address. The contest deadline is June 23, 2008.
