    Is it too late to try a K’tan?

    Okay so, I was looking at the super pretty looking Baby K’tan Original Wrap on Amazon just now.. and actually ordered it a few minutes ago. I’ve heard good things.

    What’s the best option for baby wearing after a c-section?

    Had a c-section with my first and wasn’t able to baby wear with my structured carrier due to pressure pushing down on my belly. This time I bought a ring sling to try in case I need to have another c-section. View Poll

    Best Carrier?

    Hello friends, I have a 16 lb 6 month old, and he absolutely hates the Tula carrier we have. I am tempted to buy an Artipoppe because of it’s famed comfort, support, and ease? But from different comments I’ve sifted through, some say it’s not any more comfortable than others? Also that they...

    A couple baby wearing questions…

    My baby always spits up a lot when I first put him in the carrier. Like, enough that I have to take him out and change both of our outfits every time. Is this normal?
