@krea Totally fair! Different strokes different folks. I was surprised how little the TENS machine we had helped.

@catholic2001 Big fan of hypnobirth! A labour comb also helped me a Lot through transition.

@jven79 If LO is ok now, they are ok now. You trusted your pediatrician, which is a logical thing to do. Because pediatrician aren’t babywearing experts, they can make recommendations sometimes that don’t make sense to some sections of babywearing. But it sounds like you did your best, honestly...

@calso Ah fair. We’re also holding off on investing in any new carriers until kiddo is a bit bigger.

@calso Have you checked out the new Toddler Lark? ETA: also I do find the OG Lark good at a back carry! Kiddo can see over my shoulder (edit typo)

@meeee You'll have some sense of if clothing needs tweaks since you're so close together - but also I often pack a little blanket around in my jacket just in case we need it! Feels good for my brain more than anything else.

@meeee Since the Boba is 3 layers over their core, I’d be aiming to dress baby pretty basic (hat, long sleeves, pants, shoes) and then layer the two of you together.

@brineheart You can pre-tie the Boba then put her in once she’s deep asleep. A ring sling could also work! I’ve maneuvered myself and a sleeping baby into a ring sling occasionally.

@lady6wheels Ah that one I don’t see, you’re likely correct it never posted.

@authorandystraka I’d dip your toes in with a borrowed or used ring sling first! If you search “babywearing” and your city on Facebook, you may be able to find BST groups or a lending library. Fwiw I do think it’s worth trying - I find the ring sling useable still at 30lb for short stints - but...

@alexfrankone The adult sock trick is genius!!!

@lady6wheels Your original post has not been deleted, it shows in your post history when I check!

@confusedbuthopeful Both of those things sound very normal to me. For probably the first few months, my kiddo immediately spat up when worn. Eventually it stopped. Time to sleep has varied from birth - just like every other time they go to sleep! It really just seems to depend.

@colinjesusboy28 If it’s important to you that baby sleep on their own, there’s no magic time to start trying - you can try now, later, somewhere in the middle. But it’s also ok if baby doesn’t want to sleep on their own! You are not breaking them somehow by contact sleeping; many babies...

@aijyou Definitely! I’d try it without just to see but marketplace is always a treasure trove. Depending on your situation you also may just want to wait to use the carrier - we have an ergo original that even with insert felt better to wait on but now we use it almost everyday!

@aijyou I think this would be an instance where it could be smartest to put baby in and see if it is comfortable/safe for you both!

@shyivee How old is baby? When they’re still all scrunched up, newborn wearing can look a little different - their knees don’t necessarily need to be widespread if they are up above their bum. Can you post a fit check? Here is an article with some visuals on what shapes you’re looking for - they...

@helpmelord Heads up - our automod is removing many of your posts due to low karma.

@zakir500 A newborn carrier with buckles specifically you might want to look at is the Ergo Embrace (but this only works for the first few months). Most carriers with straps and buckles will need you to take some time to learn them so best advice is get the carrier before you have baby and...

@silvercaster The Embrace is stretchy so moving to an SSC weight stretch may very well address this.
