babywearing

I posted yesterday about some frustrations I've been having with all of my carriers. I got some good tips but of course pictures would've been helpful from the start, so I thought I'd post again with some pictures and questions. Baby is a few days shy of 4 months, about 16 pounds. First is my...

Hey wrappers! So I'm still pregnant but I'm looking to buy a good beginner/long term wrap for my newborn and beyond. From what I've read, I think a Little Frog will be a good starter wrap for me. Only problem is that I'm really confused about where to buy it. I've been looking on the...

I currently have a Solly Baby wrap, a Hippie Joey, and an Ergobaby Embrace. He really likes the Solly wrap, but I’m looking for a carrier with more breathable fabric for summer. Baby is currently 3 months old and I’ll want to be able to use this until he’s 7-8 months old. I was thinking about...

I have the Tula explore carrier and have been using it a lot ever since my baby was about 5.5 months and could sit upright and I could use the backpack position. However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put her in by myself. I’ve looked at the manual and watched the video, but I...

My baby is 9 days old, and yesterday we finally decided to try a baby carrier. I agonized over whether or not to use a wrap or structured carrier- and we decided to try and start with a soft structured Infantino Unison. I love the soft fabric and how close my baby is to me, and that the...

I’m expecting my second this summer, and he’ll to be born week 36 (same as my first). Given how big he’s been measuring at scans and how big my first was, I’m guessing he’ll be around 7lbs at birth. I have a ring sling and a Tula Explore, and both were great starting around 6 weeks for the ring...

Third baby — I haven’t used carriers much for my previous two and instead carried them on my right hip and now have horrible right sided SI joint pain. Trying to be better at baby wearing this time! I have a solly but having to wrap it myself annoys me. Should I get a baby ktan? A ring sling...

My wife and I just transitioned from a BabyBjorn to the Omni 360 Clear Mesh. Already after the first wear, it's 10x more comfortable for me and baby feels much more supported. But I'm worried that he's not sitting high enough in the carrier. His chin is below the neck support, and his mouth is...

So I purchased the baby ktan off facebook in a size xs because according to the website that’s my size. I’m having a hard time using it because it feels so tight. l was practicing with a teddy bear and it was high up on my chest like I couldn’t look down without hitting it then I tried putting...

I am loosing my mind. I can tie great front carries and I am familiar with hip scooting with my mei dei and half buckle carrier and I CANNOT GET THIS! No matter what I do she's completely lost the seat by the time I have her anywhere near my back and I cannot figure out how to get the seat back...

Looking for a Onbuhimo I can wear on my front or back. I'm also open to other structured carrier reccomendations. I have a very heavy 5 month old baby and love my woven wraps for front carrying and long naps. But we are getting goats soon so I need a carrier I can easily wear on my back for farm...

I have an 8 week old who finally is starting to like napping in our ergobaby. I was soooo excited that I wouldn’t have to do all contact naps sitting on the couch and I might actually be able to get some chores done! Well it turns out all I do is walk around and sway to keep him asleep. I try to...

I have an ergo 360 and I’m expecting baby #3. Baby #1 was 9lbs 3oz and couldn’t do the carrier because of his gas issues. Baby 2 was 10lbs 3oz and didn’t mind the ergo 360, but I don’t love it. I feel like with all of the straps and ways to adjust, that it rarely feels secure and comfortable...

I have a beluga wrap (similar to the Solly wrap), a Moby, a Sakura Bloom ring sling and a Tula explore. I tried wearing the baby in the Beluga wrap but baby cried the entire time I had him in there and he’s so tiny I couldn’t even wear him fully so I gave up. It’s recommended weight starts at...

I have a 98th percentile 6 month old, weighing 22lbs. When we're out and about, we use the Marsupi carrier, which mostly works well, and I have a Tula Free to grow coming, so I can try the back carry position. I'd love to get something easy and quick for the home. He wants to be picked up a...

I’ve been baby wearing face in with my now 8 month old in an Artipoppe. How important is maintaining a C shape spine in an 8 month old. For the life of me, I can never put her in a C shape. Not sure if it’s her extending her back or if it’s something I’m doing wrong. Even when first putting...

In the official pictures and videos, it appears that my LO's arms should just come right over the top of the top of the carrier. But it seems like my LO is too short for this (see first picture), and I don't see a way to raise the seat height. He is 7-months old and 50-60 percentile length. I...

LO was always a high needs baby and screamed whenever he was babyworn inward facing. He would not stop screaming unless he was held outward facing. Due to this, husband developed mommy wrist. Pediatrician recommended a hip seat carrier like tush baby and we would hold him up under his ribs while...

I’ll be flying solo with my 18-lb 9-month old next month. I have an original ergo baby but I cannot get it on and off myself (cannot reach the clip btw my shoulder blades). Are there similar carrier that are easier to don and doff, as well as a little less bulky? I’d also like one he can grow...

I am waiting for baby #2 (first LO will be 2 y.o by a week or so) For our first we used a baby bjorn for a week or two around 6-7 weeks before splurging on the ergo 360 omnibreeze. LO was 9 pounds at birth so he was a good chunk by then... I am not really in to wraps and wonder if I should buy...
