    Can anyone actually get baby in backpack position themselves??

    @outofplace_christian I don't have a tula explore but an ergo omni 360 and a lennylamb lennygo and I kinda hold baby securely but don't do the shoulder straps exactly as described. I scoot him around to my back and then make the arms work. Could you try practicing while seated on a couch or...

    Tired of “words I can’t pronounce”

    @genxjeff If you want to be able to clap back with something, I really like labmuffin for science-based beauty content. She has a chemistry PhD and she does in depth videos and digs into studies about ingredients. Here's all her sunscreen content: https://labmuffin.com/?s=sunscreen and here's...

    Baby is 1 and a half and I haven’t had a period yet. Anyone else? Does it have to do with nutrition?

    @olivemcr I'm 16mo and no period over here either. He does nurse for 3 decent feeds during the day and a couple overnight and I'm assuming that's why, though. No particular interest in trying to change the amount he nurses really so I'm just gonna let it ride. Means I can't experience 2 under...

    What can you get done while baby wearing?

    @brewster1118 Mine's generally OK with me sitting still during a carrier nap and I'm a PhD student who's way behind on her research, so I (try to) work on that on my computer. Sometimes instead I browse reddit, like now 😅. I can sort of do laundry sometimes. I generally do dishes when he's...

    First Time Actually Baby Wearing Suggestions

    @blessedj316 Oh yeah! I had a moby wrap (same idea) and he was definitely starting to sag in it (or I had to do it up too tight to feel secure) by right around 13 lbs! It was great before that though.

    First Time Actually Baby Wearing Suggestions

    @blessedj316 Huh! I guess it's different for everyone -- honestly my ergobaby has never felt that stretchy in the vertical direction (I just tugged on it to check) to me. Maybe I just got lucky with it or something? Or didn't use it as much as other people? I have other carriers that I also use...

    First Time Actually Baby Wearing Suggestions

    @jacklong I find it really easy to use still and not awkward at all. My baby isn't gigantic though, and he's at about 21lbs -- the limit is 25, so I'm keeping an eye on that. I haven't worn it for long periods of time in quite a while* but I don't notice anything uncomfortable about it or...

    First Time Actually Baby Wearing Suggestions

    @jacklong Did you try stretchy wraps or a woven wrap? I am about your height and weight. I've got an 11mo and as he was getting bigger, my faves have been: Ergobaby embrace -- v. Comfy when they're little, pretty easy to bring places, I'm still using it when baby is just kinda fussy and...

    Different recommendations for TDaP vaccinations?

    @waterflow May also vary by province. In ab you can get boosters every 10 yrs for free if you book via health services or if you do it at a pharmacy you have to pay.
