Anyone with a K'tan wrap?

[SpringCrane]

I'd like to try one this time, so I can avoid all the ridiculous fabric of the Moby while managing a baby and toddler, but I'm lost on sizing. Some/all materials offered have no stretch as I understand it. Do you need a bigger size as baby grows? Are they assuming momma is getting smaller postpartum as baby gets bigger? I wear a US 4 pre-pregnancy. 5'8, 130 lbs pre-pregnancy. My boobs get giant during pregnancy and bigger after with nursing, so I guess that has to be factored in. I have no idea what size!

I had one with daughter. I'm 5'5 and weighed 102lbs before pregnancy. The ktan website recommended an XS for me, but I got the small instead. It was a fairly good fit and it does stretch a tiny bit, kind of like a cotton t'shirt. It will also shrink in the dryer. You could always buy or order from a place that offered returns so you could try out a size and exchange if it wasn't right. I don't know about needing a new one as baby grows since my baby didn't like it, I didn't used it long. Good luck. It's really hard to know when you can't see it/try it in person.

I would go for a size bigger than they recommend. I have a small, according to their sizes I should have used a XS but it was way too small with my boobs.

I have an xs, would have been ok with an s. If your LO does not like it, try various positions until you find one he/she is ok with.

5'7'' and 140 pre-pregnancy here.:wave: i got a small and it's perfect. baby was tiny though (6lbs2oz) so even with the whoa-boobs, she fits nicely. i'm not sure how long she'll fit, but for me it's totally worth it, even if she only fits for these first months. i don't know how women survive without some kind of wrap/carrier; i LOVE my k'tan and can't say enough good things about it. i do also have a moby that i use here and there, but i think the k'tan gives the same feel with way less prep work, and i tend to grab it first.

I'm a US size 4 (120ish pre-pregnancy, 5'5) and bought a size Small since that's my normal clothing size, which is what the sizing guide recommended to me.

Maybe measure yourself and send an email to the company to ask what they recommend for the size?
