    Please recommend an easy to use stretchy wrap or similar for a newborn

    Hi! My second baby is due in a few weeks. With my first son, we used a Moby wrap a lot around the house. I liked that it wasn’t very bulky so that I could do other tasks easily and it felt very snuggly. We used and loved our Ergo 360 when out and about and will use it this time as well...

    Baby’s preference

    What are y’all doing about your babies that prefer face flat to your chest?? I have an 11 week old that weighs 14 lbs and only contact naps so I baby wear her a lot in my moby wrap and my husband wears her in a Lille baby complete. I feel like I’m constantly fighting to get her to turn her head...

    Help me pull the trigger: Wildbird Aerial | Sakura Bloom Scout | LennyLight | Tula Lite

    I've been nerding out on the different carriers for awhile now, help me make my final decision! Baby girl is almost 3 weeks and 98th %tile (10 lbs at 2 weeks). She's doing well in the Moby wrap so I'm excited for the next steps (have also ordered a ring sling). We live in Hawaii so with the...

    Hiking with a 6 m/o who likes to have her arms out

    So my baby has loved being worn in my moby wrap until recently (4 mos) when she started fighting me the second her arms got tucked in. She fights being worn now until she’s got both hands out, and has basically rolled the back support down so she can lean out and look at everything, so I’ve...

    F the cult-like following of certain carrier brands (Happy Baby)

    After a lot of research (and trying half a dozen slings at my local library) I have learn that a Happy Baby Original carrier is one that both myself and my baby like (she likes structured carriers like Ergo/Tula but thick waistbands aggravate my c section scar, I like soft/lightweight carriers...

    New to the ring sling and in need of help

    I recently bought a Wildbird linen ring sling and I really want to like it because I know once I get the hang of it that it will be quick and easy to get my LO in and out of. Right now, though, I’m having such a hard time with it 😔 I’ve read through a bunch of old posts on here about them but...

    Y'all these BST groups are wild

    I joined a B/S/T baby carrier group because I'd like to buy an onbuhimo...wow. So many acronyms! Some of these members have collections that must be worth more than a thousand dollars, like literally closets just for their carriers. They have very specific requests, like a carrier made 10 years...

    Tula Explore vs Free to grow

    Hi all, I've spent the last 2 days getting more and more lost in the world of baby wearing and could really use some help. My 5 month old has lived in my Freerider wraps over the past few months. He's quite small (9%) but he's getting heavier and it's starting to take a toll on my back when we...

    Toddler carriers

    I am in the market for a toddler carrier. It seems that Tula is one of the best brands. I checked on this site: https://hipdysplasia.org/hip-healthy-products/ , but Tula Toddler is not on it. Beco toddler is on the list but they only have 4.4 reviews on Amazon. In fact, there are close to none...

    Breastfeeding carrier

    Hi all! I’m not sure if I used the right tag, apologies if I didn’t. I currently have a 19 month old and 2 month old. For my older I always used my original ergo baby and loved it. But I didn’t breastfeed. I now have my 2 month old and he does nurse exclusively. I am wanting to find a carrier...

    Need sub-zero temp carrier cover for toddler

    My daughter is 18 months old and we are still going strong baby wearing. We live in Scandinavia and temps have been -14⁰ C (7⁰ F) the last two weeks. Problem is, she has grown out of her very warm, snowproof rainproof cover and I cannot find one for a bigger child (she's currently 80cm tall)...

    Babywearing questioned by total stranger at Costco, said he was a “former physician”

    I was in the checkout at Costco, wearing my one year old in an Ergo on my back.( I recently switched to back carrying because I’m about 11 weeks pregnant and was starting to get some back pain with the front carry.) An older white guy in line behind me said “Excuse me… I’m just wondering, how...

    Science on babywearing forward facing, M position and hip dysplasia?

    Everywhere I read about related to babywearing it says that you need to have baby in the “M position” ie knees above bum. Which a lot of inward facing carriers do. Someone warned me about baby facing outwards and said it’s because you can’t achieve said position as easily and the spine isn’t in...

    Recommendations for carriers that don’t press sensitive tummies?

    My 9 week old daughter is nearly 14lbs and has “silent reflux”. I’d always imagined I’d baby wear constantly but she’s uncomfortable in the carriers I have even 30+ minutes after nursing. We have a Solly wrap but she gets quite hot in it. Our ErgoBaby Embrace leads to lots of burping and even...
