Lets see you babywearing !

[louandivy]

Now the weather is warmer I LOVE babywearing again! Don't think I'll be using the buggy much anymore, especially because I have finally mastered getting Ivy on my back quickly! Still can't put the sleep hood up when she is on my back though How on earth do you do it?!

I was looking into a storch, how do you like yours?

I like my storch

whats a good summer wrap? We are already sweating to death in our SSC and the Storch was only on my list because on TBW it was recommended for hot summers! DOH!

If you don't mind a grippy wrap, Bali Breeze is nice and lightweight. Made from gauze so they are great for warm weather. Love mine.

Also...those of you who have set up sling libraries, how did you go about doing it? I want to do it in my area, and would love some advice!

Get a Facebook page and website set up as soon as you can because a lot of manufacturers/distributors won't take you seriously without. We use Weebly to design and host, started off with our personal stashes and a few bargains we got. Then emailed people. Slumber-Roo are hugely supportive of the libraries and subsidise carriers for you. We also got a free pair of MT strap suck pads recently. Ergo sent us a carrier and infant insert for peanuts, Hoppediz sent a sling for free , ABC sent us a freebie etc. So get begging

Get in touch with your local children's centres, we had a session talking to new mums at the Under 1s group, which was quite successful.

Ellaroos are great gauze wraps. The wrap in my avatar is an ellaroo.

My Vatanai is pretty cool so far too!
I got it as a summer wrap, but accidentally just ordered another linen Oscha for summer

I got my Storch second hand from eBay for £44.

I was looking at Vat and Ellaroo also! It was Storch, Vat, Ellaroo, and Ellevill I believe that I heard were the warm weather ones.

HT- you have another Ellaroo with blues in your flicker pics right?

Kait- no idea if I like grippy. Lol. I assume this will all be trial and error for sure.

Anyone have any interesting wraps on the way? I am waiting on a linen shorty and it can't get here fast enough!! Woo!

Also I don't find Storch's cooler than some of the others - it's much warmer than my Vat.

 

[Snuffy]

If I can get to grips with my storch, I may be tempted by an Ellaroo as well (I was bidding on one of these at the same time lol). I really like the Kristen one.

Ellaroos are sooo much easier to wrap with han storchs. Storchs are horrid first wraps.

Sun, none for me until we move!

I was actually wondering if this is a socially acceptable thing to do, thanks for confirming that it is
