If you have ever worn a belt with rings like that, you know that it stays tight very easily.

the rings tighten and get closer together as you pull on the fabric… it’s threaded over and under one, then under and over the other and back through the first.

Think of it like a slip knot…. you can move it up and down, but as you pull, it tightens.

I’d like to see Alexander Pete sitting higher, but since Liev has that bag slung across, the position is good.

Otherwise, baby should be up over the parent’s heart.

Slings are very secure and are definitely easier than carrying your baby as they don’t strain your joints… it spreads the weight throughout your back and helps you more easily balance the weight of baby.

And you’re not worrying too much… you’re just asking questions… which is always good.

One other benefit to a sling is that you can discretely nurse baby one-handed or no-handed (and why I love wrap slings… with all that fabric holding each part of baby, almost anyone can feed no-handed (unless you have a nipple shield that likes to slip because your nipples never go erect… only flat or inverted like mine… then you need one hand to keep it on while baby nurses)

I think they are going to NYC where Liev has a home and all his family is. I doubt they are going to Australia because Naomi has no family that lives there or owns a home. Plus I think the fertility thing was just a rumor.

He’s so cute, he more I see slings — here and IRL — the more I’m considering using one when/if I have another.

If they are going to Australia to meet the grandparents, then little Alexander got a passport awfully fast! Does anyone know how you can get one that young?

Liev looks totally cute wearing his baby! I have a question about slings that I don’t know where else to ask. I have a 4 1/2 week old son (born July 30) and I got a Jolly Jumper sling at my shower, I have put baby in it and it looks totally uncomfortable for him and me and nothing like the picture on the package!!! I can’t figure out how to correctly wear it and I have not seen a celeb wearing this sling. Any advice would be great!! Thanks, love CBB by the way. Liev and Naomi’s son is the same age as mine

Sarah’s note: I’ll email you.

Naomi has several movies to film very soon (starting in September)and she’s heading for the Toronto Film Festival where she’ll promote her latest production, Eastern Promises. She took almost a year off to relax and get pregnant.. now she’s back to work, probably way too early after the baby but you can’t always time those things perfectly. I’m very glad she has a nanny with her. How else could she do all this AND take care of a newborn? It’s enough that she breastfeeds, which surely keeps her up at night. They don’t seem to have anyone else on staff. They both look exhausted but happy.

Hee hee. Being the mother of three – I know from personal experience the tired eyes and messy hair. Congrats Naomi and Liev. You’ll never sleep the same again.

I think this is my favorite new family! Both parents look so happy, and Alexander is very cute! I’m happy for them. Naomi looks great, by the way!

They are probably going home to meet Grandparents and the godmother, who may be Nicole Kidman…

I think Noami had some fertility treaments done here so the child was born here, but its time to breath in some home AIR

The picture of Liev standing there with his hands on his hips and the baby snuggled in his wrap is so cute. Naomi looks like she’s lost quite a bit of weight after being pregnant for so long!
