Lets see you babywearing !

Lovely pics girls

.........moving over from our convo in the fluffy bum thread......how big is your bubs lilbump? weight etc? age? Apparently there is little difference in the baby/toddlerhawk, it's just the length of the material that sits over the baby and that's it. Most people carry their toddlers in babyhawks! I would defo go to a local sling meet! Wish we had one near....

The more I'm using my BH, the more I love it. I took Deri out in it yesterda morning with my change bag on my shoulder and was more than comfortable! I haven't really used it with Deri on my back yet but I love him being cloe to me on my front!

Thanks Laurie!

I haven't had her weighed in a little while but she's had a bit of a growth spurt this past 2 weeks or so, so i'd estimate about 22lbs and probably about 72cm tall now.

ok so i totally over estimated, this afternoon she was 70cm and 19 and a half pounds

You definately don't need a toddlerhawk then hun! A babyhawk will be perfect in size (maybe even a bit big atm but you can roll over the bottom of a mei tai if it makes your bubs more comfy!)....

And there's more choice in BabyHawks over Toddlerhawks on sites in the UK!

I've got this Obaby one: https://i32.tinypic.com/15me3gg.jpg
I used it once when she was a few days old for about 5 minutes! and then not untill today after looking through this thread last night!

She howled at first then fell asleep - I spent all the time walking to the shops worrying she was suffocating - was she being rocked too much - were her socks still on! Was going to forget the whole idea, but then she woke up and was enjoying herself and even had a laugh! So going to wear it more often

LOL! Thanks hun!

If you'd rather send pics to me, send me a PM but I'm sure all the girls on here would love to see!

I think your pics are fab...I noticed you have a Canon DSLR...are you into photography?

[scatterpatch]

Thanks hun i try but its all trial and error with me like everything haha
Im getting more and more into it now i having Flo as my always willing subject

I popped into a photography thread somewhere and then got lost and never found my way back, im too scared of how huge this place is to venture far out of the natural parenting section

Ha ha - I used to go on that thread all the time but I got the impression people were getting a bit bored (that was aggggeeessss ago mind)! I'm a Nikon user myself but haven't long had it really....I used to be snap happy ALL the time but not so much now!

I wish Deri was at a stage that he'd pose for me LOL.

Anyway, back to slings....

Would you rate a Simply Mei Tai for front carries (I can't get comfortable in a back carry tbh)? I'm loving that one you have (and the flowery one you have too...very pretty and girly!) but not sure how much I'd use it (ie. if it didn't match what I was wearing, I'd prob chicken out and use my black one ) but I soooo love it!

I'd like a rainbow ring sling too but I've never used one...think I'm going to find out if there is a local sling meet near me....off for a nose........xx

Wow Scatterpatch, you have quite a collection! They're beautiful.
So far I used the babasling when she first came out of hospital but could only use it a couple of weeks and then she's such a squirmer she nearly rolled herself out of it! Never felt secure plus it killed my shoulder.
Then I've got the premaxx baby bag, was great at first, secure and I loved going through airport security and people not realising there was a baby in there, hee hee, but now she likes to see more of the world so only good if she's due a nap (apparently still too small to go in the sitting up position).
Also got the baby bjorn, which she faces out at the moment. What are the benefits of the Mei Tai or baby hawk over the baby bjorn?
I've always wanted to try the material ones but scared I'll do it wrong and drop her...

 

[saraendepity]

got a bit carried away on the fluffy bum club thread n thought i really shouldnt be posting about slings etc on there!! lol i'm soo lost on the BH website cant decide what i want at all so i've just given it up for a bad job!!!!!!

Faerie the moby wrap is fantastic and will allow sophiato sit up - daisy hates being carried lying down now so i use the hug hold with my moby as you know i suffered from terrible spd during preg coupled with a prolapsed disk and i manage to lk a good 3-4 miles or more wearing daisy in the moby they are so supportive!!! they are a little fiddly to get on but once ou get the knack it becomes second nature !!

She was only 3 days old here! Too little for it i think even though it says from newborn - we only got a few doors away in it!

I wish I had been able to persevere with it from then but once my scar opened up and the painkillers wore off it wasn't really practical. Now I hope she enjoys it more as it will be good for me to get the weight back off carrying her around!


Do people wear them in the house getting their jobs done?
