@neostarwcc This is a first time mom, that trusted the pediatrician. Theres no need to be so harsh. She's already stressing about it. She's here to seek advice. While your link and advice is valid, the tone doesn't read very nicely. I'm sure in a face to face conversation it sounds different...

@aurelia7 What about a half buckle like the didyklick? (Lenny lamb makes great ones, too. Highly adjustable between the wearers without any hassle. You adjust the panel to the kid, that's it. When putting it on, you click the waist buckle and tighten the shoulder straps with a knot. Done. Front...

@lynsquid You can also loosen the shoulder straps, put on the waistbelt, put in the baby, put on the straps, clip it behind your neck, tighten the straps and there the clip will ride down.

@jven79 Pediatricians know a lot about infants, babies and kids when it comes to their health and also to their development (not on all aspects of development though). They don't know anything about babywearing, car seats or even breastfeeding. Some claim they know but usually they don't or...

@tinaj Have you tried a sling library? There are many in the UK. They help with finding the right carrier and also with adjusting the current one.

@snoweh Woven wrap. It's a bit of a learning curve but mostly easier to get a good fit than most carriers.

@esdivine7 When babies grow and they get stronger, start crawling, sitting up, start to pull themselves up, their spine goes from a c curve to an s curve and when they're walking and running, the spine is the double a curve like we have. At that age, the shape you want to look for in a baby...

@paul1234 You'd fall on your butt first, that'll take most of the impact so he won't really get hurt. Chances are that you'll brace yourself and fall over on your hands are way bigger. Your body and muscle memory would do everything to prevent landing on your back. You won't just plank backwards...

@paul1234 That's true, but you can almost use it for back carrying. Just a little bit longer and he'll be ready. Just close the straps on top of the panel. Those adjust the height of the panel, so open for having him lower in the front but closed for a higher back carry. If he can sit, you can...

@legoman Sling library! They're amazing in the UK. They have so many wraps and carriers you can try before you buy. Have a look online if there's one near you.

@etolkk123 You'd be surprised...

@realist1981 Try something from the try before buy program at littlezenone. Try a half buckle, a woven wrap, a carrier. They have many different ones. See if there's a babywearing educator in your area. They often have many carriers and also help with a fit check right away.

@cosmia For us, it changed when ours was around a year. Then she only needed to be pushed around for starting to nap and afterwards she could nap in a standing pram. 😅 She's 8 years old now and I miss these days because I was in really good shape. But I don't miss them because I like not having...

@cosmia Some babies don't get the concept of "sleep helps if you're tired" and they'll fight it. If she's out within 2-3 minutes then it's not a problem. There'll be many situations where your child will be upset but you know better (sleep, taking medicine, brushing teeth, getting strapped into...

@weakservant Does she fuz or full blown cry? For how long does she do that? Is she fed and changed? It's normal for babies to fuzz or even cry when being put into the carrier. Sssshhhhh and bouncing and pats on the back can help. 5 minutes is not a long time but 5 minutes can feel like 30...

@meeee Basic indoor outfit, then share body heat. You don't want to be trapped outside with a sleeping baby because you've put too much clothes on them. Also, dress yourself for indoors before putting on the carrier so you can easily go inside and take off the onion layers of clothes and don't...

@blessedj316 I've been wrapping from birth. Different kinds of front carries, back carries from 4,5/5 months. Never could figure out a ring sling.

@mcferguson Are you in the US? Littlezenone has a try before buy program. That could be really helpful since carriers are like jeans - which model fits you, only you can tell.

@confusedbuthopeful Mine was a huge spitter. I used to fold a muslin cloth between us, open side up, higher on my chest, under her chin, that it had like a little pocket to catch some of it.

@christian_countrygal It depends sooooo much on the carrier. My Emeibaby has H-straps and I love them. Most comfortable carrier ever for me. Some other carriers with H-straps annoy the hell out of me. Some with cross straps are uncomfortable, some are super comfortable. It's weird because they...
