Camilla Thurlow's baby sling

Love Island star, Camilla Thurlow, and her partner from the show, Jamie Jewitt, recently welcomed their second daughter, Nora Belle. As well as sharing their adorable bundle of joy with her big sister, Nell, on Instagram, Camilla has shared her favourite baby sling, perfect for managing her baby and tot at the same time.

Camilla took to her Instagram stories to share why the Najell Biscotti Cream Baby Wrap was the best choice of baby sling for little Nora, and why it was the right product for her.

"So one of the main reasons I picked this one, is that it's pre-tied and I did have a sling the first time round but I never got to grips with it," shared Camilla. "And I think it feels like that at the beginning with everything, like 'how to put up a pram?' and everything. The first few times you're like 'oh gosh, I can't do this' but then a few weeks in its second nature.

"I see so many women just like putting on wraps and it taking three seconds flat. But I just wasn't sure I'd ever get to that point and I also felt like the time I would use the sling is like, say, Nora was crying and that's why I wanted to be holding her but also Nell needed my attention and maybe would be crying as well.

"I just knew that if they were both needing me, my ability to quickly put on a wrap or a sling under the pressure wouldn't be that good.

Camilla said, "That really was what kind of clinched it for me was something that I knew I could get on quickly. It's really soft, really comfy. I use that around the house and then I use a carrier when we're out and about."

Not only was it right for her to try to juggle both her babies at once, Camilla found it was the right choice for them too.

"But so many people said when they found out we were going to be having this small gap between Nell and Nora, like a sling is really really helpful and it really is and I'm glad, I'm definitely glad I got it. The only thing I would say is it is different depending on babies. So Nell liked to be carried all the time, whereas Nora doesn't always like to be carried. It might be the time of year, Nell was a winter baby, she probably liked being all cuddled and snuggled, whereas poor Nora's probably like 'it's very hot and sweaty in here mum!'"

"So yeah it definitely depends on your baby as well but I just wanted to share the reasons why I picked that one. I love it. I really recommend it but obviously, if you're not looking for something that's pre-tied or you want something a bit different, then there are loads of options out there."
