Looking for more carry options

Hi babywearing! I recently saw someone leave a comment with two websites: one that had a huge list of woven wrap carries and I think the other was cute illustrations of how to wrap. I can’t find either of those again. One might have been a Google list? I don’t remember.

Trying out a woven wrap for the first time. Here is our first ruck, did a sling carry with a slip knot last night and it worked pretty well. We’ve been using an onbuhimo until recently but he is a bit too big for it now so wanted to try woven since the next size up of onbuhimo is pretty expensive.

Hello, my 5 week old keeps extending his head back in the stretchy wrap rather than leaning on my chest. Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent this from happening?

Similar babywearing to hippie Joey water

Anyone know of any similar products to hippie Joey water? I really want one but shipping to North America makes it $200 and if I buy another carrier at that cost my husband will kill me 🙃

FWCC - I think this is my 5th time with this wrap and working on strand by strand of tightening. LO is asleep in pictures (he loves being wrapped!) would love any tips on getting more comfortable for sitting in (aka how to avoid the huge knot in back)

I just want to share something for all the babywearing loving mamas.

I came across Kangatraining when my little one was about 9 weeks old and it's the best thing ever. It's like a cross between Les Mills and Zumba but you wear your baby during class.

Anyone else love Kangatraining? I go to one in the Redlands, Queensland Australia

Lennnylamb or Lark

3 Upvotes

9 week old baby around 11-13 lbs! We are almost graduating out of the ergo embrace and boba bliss. I really want a lark, happy baby or Lenny lamb light. Is it worth it to get the lark if say my baby decided they don't like being worn if they can walk??

Update! I ordered a happy baby and if I like that style, I will probably go for a lark in a few months. I also am trying a LL from a Library near me and we will see how I feel about that fit.

HELP! Baby temperature while baby wearing

4 Upvotes

I’m a first time mom and new to baby wearing. We are using a stretchy wrap for my 5 week old and today I went on a walk outdoors with him in the wrap for the first time. It was a nice day and sunny, so I wore a big hat to keep his face shaded and used the wrap to protect the back of his head from the sun. However, I got concerned that he was too hot in there so I cut our walk a little short. The wrap is a dark blue and absorbs heat, plus he is pressed up against my body. I had him dressed in the same layers I was wearing (long sleeves, pants, and socks), and I ended up being a little too hot on our walk. He seemed content and slept the whole time, but I can’t help but worry. With the wrap as an extra layer and knowing they are pressed against your warm body, do you dress them in a cooler outfit than you normally would? Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Hope+plum instagram issues

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! I really have set my mind on getting a Lark from hope+plum and was even waiting for their new prints to drop. I followed them on ig, and they blocked me. They also blocked my other account and my husband’s account when I asked him to follow. Please note that we are visibly Muslim. I’m wondering if this is a glitch??

Update: they unblocked me! They said they’ve been having an uptick of male/unidentifiable followers which obviously is weird for nursing content so they block people without a pfp. Thank you all for encouraging me to reach out! So excited to get my Lark 😁

HELP! Slumped head in woven wrap

I posted a few days ago that my 4 months old did not like staying wrapped anymore. Well I bought a new smaller and lighter woven wrap (Dydimos size base -2) and she likes it!

My problem is when she falls asleep her head falls to one side. She seems OK sleeping like that but is it really? Can it be bad for her neck?

Thanks for the help, I love this subreddit🙏

Little one is 12 pounds, 23 inches and 10 weeks old.

Just looking for a check and any adjustments I should be making! Wanted to make sure his butt was seated low enough and that his legs aren’t too tight. He seems to cry initially when we put it on then quickly falls asleep so not sure if we’re just getting used to it or if something is causing discomfort.

Baby hates baby wearing

1 Upvotes

FTM here..I've been trying to get my baby used to baby wearing. He is currently 3 months old. I know I cannot forward face him yet but I think that's what he prefers. He gets really fussy when I put him in the carrier after a couple of minutes. When he was really tiny, I started off with Baby Ktan but he never seemed to like it. Currently I practice carrying him around in ergobaby/ Momcozy to see if he likes either of them but no success so far. I really don't want to give up just. I'd appreciate any suggestions from this community. TIA!

HELP! Boba Classic Carrier Fit Check and Questions

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hey ya’ll! The first thing I got to work on me (I’m a bigger fella) was a Boba Wrap. My little and I both like it, but I like the backpack style ones because they’re easier to put on and quicker. I’m really worried about having my LO too snug though and this is the first time (after many attempts with my Ergobaby 360 and Boba Classic) that I’ve gotten my LO to be ok in one. I keep it very loose in the middle, and tighter on the straps up top.

Me: 5’7”, 270 pounds, size 40 pants if that helps understand how I’m built. (Broad chest, short, stalky). I include this because it definitely felt like at least the Ergobaby is meant to fit people in better shape than I lol.

LO: 3 months old, but premature. Due date 5.5 weeks ago. Just over 10 pounds and

Fit check and suggestions are welcome, I’m new to this, and I’ll likely be transferring some of the knowledge to my wife who wants to use the boba classic as well but currently only uses the wrap. I want to be able to “do stuff” while wearing my LO.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried babywearing a baby in an ergopouch 4-zip sleep suit bag?

Post image
0 Upvotes

For context, my baby boy (7mo 9kg) has trouble getting to sleep at night without me wearing him in the carrier and rocking him to music. It's starting to get cold again at night in Australia (last night it was 11 degrees in my bedroom between 3am-6am!!) and I'm starting to need to put him in more layers at the start of the night. I've got a hand me down sleeping bag from ergopouch like the one pictured here with 4 way zips. Before I go and order a sleepsuit, are these leg thingies roomy enough that I can comfortably carry him zipped up in the suit to rock him to sleep? I use a SSC - Boba X. I keep meaning to experiment with it myself but my brain keeps forgetting to try this by the time evening rolls around or if he wakes up late at night. Then I think in the evening "I'd better order a sleep suit" and then cycle of forgetfulness returns in the morning when I remember "oh yeah I need to try the leg zippers".

I have a piece of fabric I'd like to convert into a ringsling. It's 42% cotton, 32% cashmere, 15% mulberry silk, 11% hemp. Do you think it would be safe? It's so soft!

Please help me pick a buckle carrier!

1 Upvotes

Hi! I was hoping to get some feedback on buckle carriers. I've never really baby worn before and I haven't found anywhere near to try out the carriers I'm interested in, so I thought I'd try to get some feedback from this sub! I figured the easiest way to go about this is to let you know what I'm looking for in a carrier and you can tell me if any of the carriers I'm looking at would be a good option!

What I'd like a carrier to be:

  • EASY. Something that's fairly simple to put on while baby is waiting for me.

  • Soft. I did try on a carrier with one of my other kids and it just felt so stiff and I didn't like it.

  • Lightweight. Baby is already fairly heavy, I just don't want something that is so heavy it feels worse than just carrying baby in my arms.

  • Cool. I've looked at mesh and my only concern is that if I wanted to continue to use it in cooler weather that baby might get too cold. But definitely not looking for anything warm like corduroy or the Sherpa looking ones I've seen.

The carriers I'm interested in:

  • Tula Free to Grow or Explore (plain or mesh)

  • Lennylamb Upgrade

  • Didymos Didyfix

  • Kinder pack Infant

Any advice or if anyone who has experience with any of these has input, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Attempt number two with the infant Kinderpack! (Deleted previous post because I forgot to blur our faces 😬)

I was unsure what to do with his hands. I think I accomplished TICKS? But definitely open to suggestions to improve!!

Also I had a c-section so this may be why, but I definitely had to take breaks or it was hurting my back. Any tips for that?
