Baby Wearing when you are a big mama!

[bunnyg82]

Hiya, I am currently a size 24/26 but slowly losing weight so maybe by the time when baby is born will hopefully be about a 20/22. Anyway, my boobs are rather large as it is now, but I assume will get bigger.

So, I am just wondering if this is gonna prevent me baby wearing? I am really keen to do this as much as possible as I know it has many benefits. I'm thinking of getting the close baby carrier but I don't want to spend money doing this if I am not gonna be able to use it cos of my size!

Any help please? xx

Are you in the UK? I would get to a sling meet if you are and try some out.

Or make your own Moby or Ring Sling. That way it fits they way you need.

hey hunny.

Yea i'd recommend seeing if theres a asling meet near you aswell, where abouts are you living, uk? https://www.slingmeet.co.uk/

Also big mama slings has measurements and sizing guides https://www.bigmamaslings.co.uk/zen-cart/

Thanks girlies, yeah there is a sling meet near me. When should I go? I imagine fairly late into my pregnancy? x

i don't know tbh! I guess in a way of you were to go now you're kind of going to get a more accurate measurement but then your body could completly change after pregnancy. Does it give any advice on the site? I think there's a forum dedicated to the meets?

I am about a size 18 at the moment but have been a 22. I still baby wear, I don't think it affects it at all. I have a wrap sling I can now tie it at the front but before I just used to tie it at the back and it was perfectly fine.
Also I have had a ring sling which was fine I just didnt find it comfortable having the weight on one shoulder, wrap sling was much better for me.
I think it depends what kind of sling you want x
