babywearing

Struggling to find a carrier that fits my body and doesn’t hurt. I’m 5’7”, but incredibly short waisted (ribs can touch my hip bones if I bend in certain ways) and kind of bony with narrow shoulders. Young toddler is 13 months and 24 pounds. I have really struggled with carriers that have...

My baby is huge at 9 months 25 pounds. I currently wear him with the ergobaby 360. As summer approaches, I’d like to wear him for long walks and hikes around the neighborhood. Do you guys have any tips and suggestions to keep you and baby cool while you baby wear outside? Especially the...

I have both of the originals of these- the baby k’tan and the konny flex (adjustable). I’m not sure which I like more. The k’tan has nice fabric but it’s thicker. The konny doesn’t get tangled and can be cinched so it’s easier but maybe not as comfortable? Anyways, we’re in the sierras for the...

FTM due in 9 weeks - who knew there were SO many options? We were gifted an ergo 360 that seems more “industrial” for outings - my husband has carried a friends baby in one and it worked for him. I will be home for 6 months and want something outside of the 360 for me to wear around the...

I have multiple carriers that were all hand-me-downs. Our 7 week old will only contact nap so we are trying to find a carrier he likes. So far we tried the moby (getting the fit right was hard and he screamed both times we tried!), k’tan (again he screamed!), original baby bjorn (he liked when I...

I really enjoy wearing my baby in a wrap but I’m pretty sure she’s overheated these days. It’s already 74 F (23 C) and it will only get hotter. Is there a good way to wear when it’s hot?

Hi all! I have a bigger baby (3 months old, 15.5 lbs). Our first kid was tiny and didn’t love being worn when older, so I mostly used a Solly wrap with him. Been loving the Solly again this time, but we’re sizing out of it now. I’ve got two hand-me-down SSCs (Beco Gemini and some kind of...

Hi all- I’m looking for advice on a baby carrier my husband and I can both use. I’d prefer one that’s relatively “easy”-I can just strap on and be comfortable starting right away in the newborn stage. I really don’t want to fuss with the wraps necessarily lol. Now I’m 5’2 with a short torso and...

Looking for some advice on tandem options for hiking with my 3yo and newborn. *Toddler will need ups and downs throughout. *Need space for toddler water bottle and snacks (and possibly a small notebook) either in the carrier or pack of some kind. *We have a framed Osprey carrier but I don’t...

My left shoulder is higher because my left thoracic scoliosis and I would like to know if there is a doctor or PT to advice how should I fo the hip carry. Logical thing to do would be to wear the wrap on the left side to lower. I would like to know a professional opinion. Thank you! P.S. : My...

I have a 7 week old who is 4.9kg. She hates to be put down during the day so I’ve got her in my arms pretty much all the time. I really need a light, soft carrier that I can comfortably lounge around the house and do simple chores I n. I’ve tried two different carriers already but I have yet...

Hi all, I see a lot of comments talking about the C curve, refering to babies spine/neck shape. I would love it if some other educators could weigh in as I know some still use it. However, I'm currently doing additional training and we've been advised not to use this term and use "curved J...

Our LO is 2 months old, 13 lbs, 24” tall. Husband is 6’3” and has a very lean torso. We have an Ergobaby Omni 360 but it doesn’t seem to work for his body type. We have tried putting the waistband very high (at the bra line), doing a pelvic tuck, loosening/tightening the shoulder straps but no...

I’m moving to a dense city with no car and will be taking public transit primarily. It’s not stroller friendly so I’ll use a carrier for my 6mo most of the time. With my two older ones I mostly used an Ergobaby but it was a poor fit for me so I’m now considering alternatives. I also have a Happy...

I currently have the ergo embrace but I’m ready to get something more supportive for my 6 month old. I don’t love how the x straps of the embrace make my traps and lower neck area feel tired/sore (even when the x is closer to my shoulder blades). Will a slightly more structured x style carrier...

My 7 week old is generally a pretty good sleeper if conditions are optimal. The optimal conditions are basically the carrier, occasionally a chest if she’s just been nursing. I know you can’t form bad habits at this stage, but I’m wondering how much we’re setting ourselves up for failure by...

I’m in the UK, so must ship to the UK. Currently 38 weeks pregnant and looking for a soft structured carrier. I’m 4’11, so on the shorter side, and looking for a carrier which will be suitable from newborn onwards. My budget won’t stretch to the artipoppe but I do like the look of theseraphine...

I have been browsing this forum for a bit, and am even more overwhelmed now! 😅 There seem to be soooo many choices available that I am not sure where to start or where to look. Is there a list somewhere that lists the brands, how they carry, recommendations, etc? I am currently 4m pregnant with...

Hi! First time posting. I’d like to use my Infantino 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier for winter walks (where I live is quite cold) without having to purchase a new winter coat that wraps around the carrier. I could bundle baby up in layers but would that be enough? Has anyone had success with any...

Hi! I’m looking for a SSC that’s more supportive than my Happy Baby OG for going on walks with my 6 month old. Hoping y’all can help :) I’m trying to find the sweet spot on support, breathability, comfort, and looks. I don’t really care about forward facing, I only included the Explore because...
