@tjschaffer I’ve told two different pediatricians and they both just kind of ignored it and went onto their next question.

@tykesha I would say the hope and plum slings (at least the one I have) are more on the heftier/grippier side actually! I almost feel it’d be easier if slightly slippery to tighten the rails. I find the fabric is really thick and it gets pretty bunched up in the rings which is still something...

@onangelwings It feels so taboo almost to not have a good experience with H&P bc everybody raves about them! I bought one because people said those ones were what made it click for them lol. The fabric is so gorgeous, but yeah I do think a silk would be so much easier

@valkyris Lollll why is it so hard 😭

@newageapostleofgod Yeah, honestly 20 minutes wasn’t enough and I couldn’t see what I was doing at all, plus my baby was fussing/squirming. She basically walked me through instructions you can find anywhere, it wasn’t really tailored to the issues I was having. I appreciate that they offer it...

@wren84 You may be right, I do find them so cute though lol

@holyoption I’m glad I’m not the only one struggling! I know I can do it bc by chance I’ve made it work a few times but it’s not easy to recreate..

@teagranny Okay thank you this makes me feel so much better!

@obelex I’ve tried the hammock too, I love how it positions their legs but once I start pulling the fabric up I just run into all the same issues!

@davidsheart77 Mine is patterned with flowers and other things that almost function as stripes. I just find the cloth gets bunched up in the rings even when I fan it out each time

@pitcharan Yeah, I think this is a good idea. We used an Ergo stretchy wrap her first twoish months (at which point she already started feeling too big for it to not droop) and I loved the coziness/lack of bulk, which is why I really wanted a sling to work. I know there are some other cloth/wrap...

@wisper Yeah I think I may need to hang it up, at least during the current stage she’s in now, and see if it’s better down the road

@jojo2 Oh duh I have an Ergo aura wrap, lol! The embrace does look nice and like you could get much more use out of it!

@richgsr7 I think I will do just that. Thank you!

@jojo2 I’m shocked you can do this, my baby is 13 lbs and I feel like she sags in the ergo embrace now!

@pashapotte Good to know I’m not alone! lol it looks SO simple and yet…

My beautiful hope&plum ring sling I have spent so much money on and SO much time trying to figure out. I’ve watched the tutorials, I did the consult with Mallory, I paid for a consult with a local babywearing expert, I practice putting my baby in like 4-5 times a day. I would say three times or...

@handlotion I just want to say I’m sorry you’re going through this. We went through something similar at the same age, 5.5 months. Also a contact napping EBF baby. For better or worse our baby started at 3 half days a week, not full time. At first she would nap 5-10 minutes while there and eat...

@alwaysfaithful18 Skipping night feeds all night, even once a week could throw things off, the night feed can (annoyingly) be the most important one that drives supply, so not doing it this early on might not be the best idea. At this point you want to be doing what you can to encourage and keep...
