babywearing

Hi, i'm a FTM of a 5 week boy, and i'm concerned i'm doing something wrong at this point. From birth till about 3 weeks he slept anywhere and fell asleep fast, normally after breastfeeding. From about 3 1/2 weeks, he started fighting sleep and when i put him in the crib, usually only stayed...

Due June 9 and planning to spend most of May being as “zen” as possible and letting my body guide me. One thing my husband and I haven’t done yet, but need to do, is pick out baby carriers/wraps for baby wearing at home and on-the-go. We are overwhelmed with the name brands, styles, price...

Title pretty much says it all. I bought an Onbuhimo off of the B/S/T facebook group (the one that is linked on the Happy Baby website, so it's not an off-shoot group, in case that is important) that was advertised as BNIB. I was initially very happy since it was in a colorway (Nova) that has...

Can anyone provide some guidance on the sizing for the H&P Lark? I feel like I am just on the cusp between sizes. I wear a 14/16 in pants, have a short torso and large chest, and am 5 foot 2 in 210 lbs. I really want to use it for both front and back carrying but have heard the LL lark is not...

We are going out of town(sports, 3-4 days, 3-6 games) a few weeks after baby is born and i think it'll be easier to wear them than use a stroller. It'll be fairly cold(40-50°f maybe?). I have a basic ergo or a wrap I can use. Which one is going to be easier to keep them warm and be able to wear...

FTM and probably missing a lot of knowledge 😅 my baby doesn’t want to put her legs in an M whatsoever. Trying to use the Solly wrap and it’s really hard to get her to unscrunch so I can pull her little legs out. Is there a trick to this? Do some baby’s just not like that position? Maybe she...

I’m looking for advice on these two! I have a baby k’tan wrap that I’ve been wearing for a while now! My 7 week old (11 lbs) falls asleep in it and takes a long nap daily, but it’s beginning to really hurt my back and she slides down during wear, so no longer in the kissable area! I’m looking to...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I found this video to be super helpful with learning how to use my baby wrap! It was kinda a pain, and even a bit stressful, trying to figure out how to use the wrap. However, after watching this a couple times I was able to get LO (4 or 5 weeks at...

My baby is almost 9 months and around 16lbs. She dislikes wrap style carriers, tolerates the ergobaby under most circumstances, and is quite happy on the tush baby. We are usually at the pool or beach every weekend over the summer, and I really don’t want to get sand up in my tush baby. I want...

I can’t seem to figure this out from searching online. Edit: I emailed them and this is what they sent: Omni Breeze is our most breathable carrier that does it all. LightweightSoftFlex™ Mesh that covers almost all of carrier provides maximum air flow with a streamlined look to keep you and...

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...
