Hey how much was yr monitor guys?

 

[lisaf]

whoops, yes the butterfly does front-carry... but it doesn't do forward-facing

 

[SBB]

£139 casey!!!

It doesn't forward face Lisa, and sorry cos I know some of you guys do FF with your carriers, but its not really ideal to FF at all from what I've read. It puts pressure on their groin, and they can get overstimulated. It's better to have him on your back but high up so he can look around over your shoulder. Just my two cents worth! I can find some of the links with more info if you like...

I've heard the same about forward facing- thought it was bad for their hips!

I love that turquoise bag on those expensive ones!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Thanks Suz, knew I could count on you! Love the over budget ones... Hmmmm.... Maybe I can sell some things to get one...

 

[SBB]

It's a really nice bag, they were at the baby show...

My sister got a gorgeous bag from jigsaw, and French connection have nice ones sometimes.. But if you want to try and use a normal bag as a change bag I think you need to see them in the flesh really... Check out pockets etc.

hmm, yes I'd be interested in the links! I know about the hip thing, but I've heard some kids just are not happy unless they're facing outward? I don't plan on doing it, but wanted the option in case thats the only way to keep him happy or get use out of the carrier, you know?

 

[Peach Blossom]

I put Lili in the lotus position facing out with the sleepywrap... She sits like a little Buddha and looks very cute!

 

[lisaf]

I kind of want a ring sling too, but they are so expensive for what they are!!

 

[babyloulou]

Have yiu got anywhere you can try one out first Lisa? To make sure you get along with a certain carrier? And to make sure Daniel will accept it? I've got 3 and Ben won't let me carry him in any of them

 

[SBB]

There's loads of info here https://www.sleepywrap.com/learn/research/ but there's LOADS of it so hard to find what you actually want to know.

This is a lot easier to read https://www.slingguide.co.uk/frontcarries.php

I'd def go and try some if possible. If you haven't already. I am trying an ergo which so many people love, but I dont like it.

[SBB]

Yeh ring slings look cool, maybe get a second hand one?

Another thing to look for in the carrier is knee to knee support...

This chart looks good https://www.theportablebaby.com/carrierfeatures.html

I've just done some stalking of Cat's threads. She's in a June bumps thread and a July one and both have comments on asking if anyone has heard from her but no one has

 

[SBB]

I was thinking if she had a super long labour kitten may have only arrived 4-5 days ago, and she could be in hospital unable to get on. I just would have thought someone would have posted on her fb if she'd had her...
No-one posted on mine but I never used fb until Sammuel arrived...

[babyloulou]

Yeah hopefully that's it! She did say everything was fine at her ultrasound the day after the fall. God I hope she posts soon!!

 

[lisaf]

Thanks for the info.. will look at it in a bit.

Good idea on the 2nd hand sling.
We tried an Ergo at the store yesterday and I wasn't a huge fan. The arm things cut into my arm funny which I think is because the back snap wasn't low enough.. which is actually one of the pain in the butt things I've read about Ergo vs. Beco
I do like that it has a pocket though!
Daniel seemed fine in it and found the straps to chew on immediately, lol!

 

[babyloulou]

Wow can't believe Daniel is 2 months already! It'd about time we all posted some new pictures I think!!! X

Lisa just poppin in - thanks for the Daniel announcement ! Very cute!
