@breezesmother For all soft structure carriers you will need to put him in either like the video I just sent or in a hip scoot or Superman toss. If absolutely necessary, I did use this "walk like an Egyptian method" once upon a time. Your carrier is not meant to be used in this way though, so...

@breezesmother How old is your baby? Are you doing facing you or facing out right now? Have you tried the Ergo for the back carry yet? Ergo has a video showing a back carry where you put baby in the carrier before you put them in your back. Personally I've always found ways like this to be more...

@olivia098227 Okay. So the Tula free to grow is the one I'd recommend for newborns. But even though it's the same width as a standard Tula fully extended, with the way the waistband cinches, it makes it less comfortable as baby grows. I actually threw my 4yo up in it in a pinch during a meltdown...

@olivia098227 Oh, I meant until how old. Sorry.

@jdimmick Because it's exhausting. Seeing the same stuff said time and time again. Every time I provide information about why that's not best practice I see the same suggestion on a post 2 hours later. I'm not a mod. I'm just someone who likes to help people who is completely burnt out by this sub.

@elvisrene10 Big hugs to you. It sounds like this has been really frustrating and upsetting to you. I totally get it. Especially with big kids around. I will tell you, that I've fit 2 year olds in carriers for the first time. He may have even been 3, it was a long time ago and my memory is...

@pcbeliever Totally! It used to be so hard to get carriers because the businesses were so small.

@ministerval Of course! I hope you find a great pattern. Enjoy!

@ministerval Don't discount used too. Most of the carriers I've bought over the years have been used.

@ministerval I have never worn a baby facing out in 7 years of babywearing. You can do a back carry at this age and be so much more comfortable. I would get a standard Tula that will last you until well past 2. The free to grow is perfect for newborns and while it is as wide as a standard when...

@ministerval I've been wearing Tulas for almost 8 years. When I first got one it was the premier carrier. The happy baby of it's time perhaps lol. So I probably jumped on the bandwagon at first, but I've always found it comfortable for my body and love the patterns. I tended to wear for long...

@ministerval It's a good carrier. I own one. In fact I think I have had 3 colors of it at different times. I used it when my 3yo was about 4 months old until about 6 months I think. It was nice and cool in the summer. Is it the best carrier? There is no best. It's it pretty? Very. Is it worth...

@jesrdking If you are uncomfortable, yes. It's not dangerous as long as baby is in the carrier correctly.

@laura888 Baby should be in a seated position when forward facing. If you grab their thighs and rock the hips back s little this will help. Not all, in fact most, forward facing carriers aren't great for getting a good seated position. This is one of the things I like the Ergo 360 for though...

@teddy8765 Start with Facebook. Ask in parenting groups or search your city+babywearing. Most groups ended about 5 years ago though when the parent org went under.

@pelegrinus I don't know how up to date their database is, I'm guessing not very since I see an educator in my area who doesn't live here anymore, but The Center For Babywearing Studies is a good place to start. But I would look for a babywearing group in your area or parenting groups for your...

@katrina2017 You are doing so great with your Didymos! Jumping down the woven rabbit hole is so fun and addicting. I don't know how up to date their database is, I'm guessing not very since I see an educator in my area who doesn't live here anymore, but The Center For Babywearing Studies is a...

@seventhtrumpetnow LA is one of the few who made it through BWI disbanning https://www.babywearingla.com/

@cdaughtry Thank you for your kind words. I don't know how up to date their database is, I'm guessing not very since I see an educator in my area who doesn't live here anymore, but The Center For Babywearing Studies is a good place to start. But I would look for a babywearing group in your...
