Lets see you babywearing !

[sun]

I've only tried a storch leo and I liked it - but it was broken in and I didn't wear it for long (just a tester). There's a whole community of storch lovers on TBW though - you might want to ask there. I was thinking of buying a leo natural and dying it just because they are so cheap to buy where I live. They're pretty much the only wrap that I can buy without going online.

I have had a semi successful second attempt with my (broken in) Storch this morning - I attempted a front cross carry this time and found it much easier. It's still not right but not as big a mess as I made of it yesterday lol.

I hear mixed things about Storch's... Maybe a BBslen or a Girasol as they are better beginner wraps that don't take as long to break in? What do you think ladies?

Or check out https://www.thebabywearer.com/forum/index.php for some used broken-in wraps?

WOW! I feel soooooo out of my element over there lol There is so much to know about baby wearing

It is a little daunting at first, but a great resource for if you're looking for info on a specific wrap or links to different carries. There's so many wrappers on that site that you'll always get replies when asking info about a wrap - especially things like wrap length for specific carries, tutorials, and problem solving. xx

I was still stalking the ellaroo on TBW....how much was yours again mommax?

kait, sun, Ndh love the pics of the little ones!

What kinda carrier is under there sun? I am thinking its under a jacket thing, correct?

Mine actually rarely falls asleep he still screams and thrashes against me to get out. I am wondering if thats when you all moved to back carry and they enjoyed it more?

You two are a-freakin'-dorable. What kind of sling?

 

[NDH]

Thanks Holly Its a Breeze Baby ring sling

 

[tannembaum]

Sun, that coat is amazing

Oilve FINALLY in the R&R
Love it so much easier to pop her in and out compared to our wrap
She seems quite low down? But it could just be because I'm used to wearing a toddler?

 

[Snuffy]

It is a lovely coat sun. I showed it to DH and said I want one of them come next winter. I think his eyes rolled

 

[mommax3]

NY I ordered it on wovenwraps.com, I have my eye on a Girasol on the tbw now, I think showing me that site has created a monster lol. I will let you know what I think about the ellaroo when it comes in they said it will ship in 10 days im really excited to get it and try it out! All the woman on TBW are def. dedicated to a wrap of their choice but it seems no certain wrap stcks out for being the BEST! I guess it's all preference

NDH awww that is such a cute pic

Sun i too love the coat! super cute

 

[sun]

nypage81 - I just have her in my Vatanai wrap under the coat! It's actually the fleece liner of the coat - it separates so I can just use the fleece when the weather isn't as cold.

Also my LO falls asleep better on the back, but she hates getting wrapped! So she screams the whole time and then falls asleep once she's in. I've heard lots of mums say their LO sleeps better on the back too - lots of them think it's the proximity to their boobs lol. On the front they keep thinking it's lunchtime so don't settle well

Snuffy - It has been such a great coat! I can wear LO on the front or back with it and when it was really cold out (more than -20C) she was still warm. So I could be wearing her in the house and just put on the coat and go out without waking her up - brilliant! And I'll be able to wear in next winter too!

She does look a bit low down, one of the ticks rules is close enough to kiss, if you can kiss the top of her head easily then no worries. If not, can you have the support belt any higher and make the straps shorter?

Here's lo and I using the library's new manduca in blackpool yesterday:

Wasn't really into the idea of buckles but was really impressed with how comfortable it was!

 

[katerdid]

Loopy - that looks really comfy!

 

[nypage1981]

Mommax- yea, TBW was a dangerous find for me also!

So sad, the O&A i was thining on got sold! Ahh well.....my fault for thinking.

Sun that makes total sense! He is always trying to wriggle and push against me in the front and I bet its because he is by the boobs. I also think the SSC is a bit high on him and that bugs him.

Loops that manduca looks really nice! also love your baby in the bandana on her head so cute.
