    Fit check please!

    I posted yesterday about some frustrations I've been having with all of my carriers. I got some good tips but of course pictures would've been helpful from the start, so I thought I'd post again with some pictures and questions. Baby is a few days shy of 4 months, about 16 pounds. First is my...

    Can anyone actually get baby in backpack position themselves??

    I have the Tula explore carrier and have been using it a lot ever since my baby was about 5.5 months and could sit upright and I could use the backpack position. However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put her in by myself. I’ve looked at the manual and watched the video, but I...

    Recommendation on carrier that works for a newborn

    I’m expecting my second this summer, and he’ll to be born week 36 (same as my first). Given how big he’s been measuring at scans and how big my first was, I’m guessing he’ll be around 7lbs at birth. I have a ring sling and a Tula Explore, and both were great starting around 6 weeks for the ring...

    Baby Sittinf Low in Omni 360 Mesh

    My wife and I just transitioned from a BabyBjorn to the Omni 360 Clear Mesh. Already after the first wear, it's 10x more comfortable for me and baby feels much more supported. But I'm worried that he's not sitting high enough in the carrier. His chin is below the neck support, and his mouth is...

    Best Onbuhimo for farm life

    Looking for a Onbuhimo I can wear on my front or back. I'm also open to other structured carrier reccomendations. I have a very heavy 5 month old baby and love my woven wraps for front carrying and long naps. But we are getting goats soon so I need a carrier I can easily wear on my back for farm...

    6.3 lb 2 week old - what are my options from wraps/carriers I already have

    I have a beluga wrap (similar to the Solly wrap), a Moby, a Sakura Bloom ring sling and a Tula explore. I tried wearing the baby in the Beluga wrap but baby cried the entire time I had him in there and he’s so tiny I couldn’t even wear him fully so I gave up. It’s recommended weight starts at...

    Experience with soft & simple toddler hip carriers like Wild Ride or Dear Baby AU?

    I have a 98th percentile 6 month old, weighing 22lbs. When we're out and about, we use the Marsupi carrier, which mostly works well, and I have a Tula Free to grow coming, so I can try the back carry position. I'd love to get something easy and quick for the home. He wants to be picked up a...

    Help please

    Hi all, My 9 month old isn't responding well to ferber. Night 5 and he is crying so hard he vomits and that's my limit before picking him up and snuggling to sleep. We have had vomiting issues with him in the past so can't go down that route (GP and health visitors advice). We have a solid...

    Lillebaby Complete front-facing arm position not working for baby

    In the official pictures and videos, it appears that my LO's arms should just come right over the top of the top of the carrier. But it seems like my LO is too short for this (see first picture), and I don't see a way to raise the seat height. He is 7-months old and 50-60 percentile length. I...

    Baby carrier U.K

    I have the izmi wrap for my son but he’s almost 7 months and very wriggly and so I’m wanting something a little bit more sturdy and supportive. Ideally I’d love something that he can sit front and back facing but I’m on a budget! Head support would be great too as I love those little baby...

    4 Month Regression and MOC. I feel like I’ve screwed up..

    We have officially encountered what I believe to be the 4 month sleep regression. LO (4 months old yesterday) has been sleeping in our room in the bassinet of the pack and play since birth. She is tall/long so we decided it was time to move from the bassinet to the crib of the pack and play...

    Help me choose a carrier

    I'm looking to upgrade my baby carrier. I received a baby bjorn at one of my showers and never loved it. (Also after finding this sub, realized it wasn't great for baby either). I'm torn between either the Tula Explore or the Ergobaby Omni. I'm leaning toward ergobaby because it looks like it...

    Baby hates being in a baby carrier

    My 3 month old baby hates all 3 baby carriers I have which include the solly wrap, the k’tan and the ergo embrace. I’ve been trying to wear her since she was born and she fusses each time. Ironically she wants me to carry her in an upright position all the time. Unfortunately my neck and back...

    Ftm baby carrier recommendations?

    I don’t know anything about baby wearing. I’m due in 9 days and will be buying one second hand on Facebook marketplace. Ideally one that’s not complicated to put on and remove every time, so not a wrap. It would have to be suitable from early days and obviously support a v young baby. I’m...

    Carrier recommendation for someone who’s 5’1?

    Was thinking of the ergobaby 360 cuz it has good reviews, but not too sure if it would suit someone who’s short like me or if height matters much in this case? What is a carrier that you would recommend for someone like me?

    Talk to me about how to get started

    I've read some information from various sources, but I'd like to get some ideas from you parents that have done any method of sleep training and found it to be successful. My LO is 5 1/2 months old and over the past month, his sleep has gone from brag-worthy (6-7 hour stretches over night...

    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...
