    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. But now that I’m looking around more on here I’m worried it won’t feel good whatsoever with my baby weighing too much (~17 lbs) and...

    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

    Desperate to find a good carrier r/babywearing

    I am desperate, and I mean absolutely desperate to find a good carrier. The price tag isn’t even an issue at this point because I’m really that desperate. Baby is 3 months, ~15lb. Solly wrap has been great but needed something more as she grows. I have a Tula explore and don’t love it, way too...

    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...

    What should baby be wearing?

    My son is 8 weeks old today and he’s about 60cm and 4.5kg. I’ve been putting him in the Boba wrap at home or indoors and it’s been great. My sister gifted us an artipoppe also. I want to start going for walks with the carrier or even just for meeting people outdoors (we’re not meeting anyone...

    How are you dressing warmly when wearing baby in an ssc?

    I can’t figure out how to get dressed! I think I know how to keep Bub warm, but I keep changing my mind about me. Usual layers? less layers? carrier over puffer jacket or puffer jacket over carrier? Full disclosure- I’m from an Australian city. ‘Cold’ means 9-15 deg Celsius (48-59 F) during...

    Ergobaby mesh 360

    I was gifted a ergobaby mesh 360. I was not given the insert and I’m confused if my l.o needs it. He is 11 weeks and almost 14 pounds, the manual says the infant insert is needed from 7-12 lbs and can be used without one at 4 months. Would I still need to use the infant insert if he’s above the...

    Frustrated with Tula

    Hi, I’m hoping someone here can help me figure out a better solution for me than the Tula Explore. I was very excited to get it after all the enthusiasm on here, but it just doesn’t seem to fit my body right. If my baby is low enough that I can comfortably kiss his head, then the waist strap...

    How did you choose a baby carrier/wrap?

    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...

    [Rant/Need Advice] I bought an Onbuhimo that was advertised as BNIB off the Facebook B/S/T group, and it REEKS of cigarette smoke

    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...

    H&P Lark Sizing

    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...

    What’s the difference between the Ergo Omni Mesh and the Ergo Breeze?

    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...

    So many options! Which would you recommend for home wear for 0-6 months?

    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...

    Carrier for warm weather?

    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! FTM in a few months looking for advice on baby wearing and what to go with- feeling so overwhelmed!

    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...
