I generally do a rucksack carry (I can tie in front - otherwise you can tie under the bum) or else I do a RRRR.
I can do lots of others - front carries like the kangaroo carry or hip carries, but I rarely wear LO anywhere but on my back. Here's a link from TBW that lists a bunch of carries! It might help with ideas

mommax3 - Did you buy the Olaf?? I was eyeing that one last night but had to turn off my computer so I wouldn't buy

 

[mommax3]

haha yeah I did, I love the color and I figured it would be good for wearing my lo in store not alot of fabric to drag on the ground in the parking lot. Im a little nervous since it is a shorty and I wear lo on my back too ( she want to nurse when in the front) but I did look into it and it seems a ruck is good with a shorty and that should serve it's purpose for shopping. Do you think I made a good choice or am I gonna kick myself in the butt?

mommax3 - I think it's a great choice! I was kind of annoyed I didn't buy it when I saw it was sold

I'm looking for a linen shorty and was supposed to share an Oscha with someone but it didn't work out - boo!
So I'm still looking! I usually miss everything good on TBW though. lol!

 

[mommax3]

well im obsessed now so If I see anything I will give you a heads up THanks for sayin its a good choice im such a second guesser.

Hi ladies,

I don't post here often, but I'm a bit of a lurker. Would any of you mind pm me a short sentance about why you love baby wearing? Your name (can be anonymous if you prefer) and how many children you have? Its for a little project of mine, I am printing some flyers and would love a couple of testimonies from fellow baby wearing mummas

Thanks heaps

UGH! Tried a back carry in the SSC today and was disastrous. We both hated it to all ends of the earth. How uncomfortable! So bummed because LO really hates front carrying too and I was hoping back carry would be our ticket. Looks like my baby wearing days may have to be over

 

[mommax3]

Ny im new to this but just being on here and TBW I see that this is common maybe you can try at a different time of day when your lo is in a calmer mood. what is the ssc? I hope you can continue bw

My SSC (manduca) is very comfortable, but I need to really spend some time adjusting it for it to really fit well. My LO did not like the SSC at first, but I waited a few weeks and tried again. They will sometimes hate a carry or carrier but a month later be fine with it. I would suggest getting OH to help support LO and help adjust until it feels comfortable, then go for a walk. For lots of babies movement is the key! Especially walking outside where there is lots to see - often they calm right down after a few minutes.

Both mine would scream while being put in the carrier or wrap but be ok once I started walking or moving.
Did your LO used to like the carrier but now doesn't or did he never get on with it?

 

[nypage1981]

He has actually never been fond. We take walks in it all the time and he fusses and flails and pushes against me. He wants to be held, but not carried. I have not tried a wrap though...maybe thats the key!

Its a Robins Nest Birdie Buckle that i've got. Its comfy in front carry, but he seems to not be able to see much and maybe its too big?

I hope that just doing and doing and doing over and over helps. As is, im too scared to take him into Target in the carrier or anything cuz he will scream and push and then I get really embarassed for not just having him in the cart like every other calm baby in there!

 

[mommax3]

not sure how to post pics in here but check out my avitar I got my ellaroo today and did my first back carry I was super pleased with myself lol. one puke down the neck and 2 trys later. what do you think?

 

[sun]

Looks great mommax3!!! It's beautiful! Is that a ruck TT that I see?? That's my go-to carry!

 

[Snuffy]

That looks fab. I am struggling to get to grips with my Storch at the moment. Would I find an Ellaroo or similar easier as a starting point? I'm still hankering lol.

 

[mommax3]

Sun it sure is I have been watching alot of videos and this one visually was my fav, it was pretty comfy too. I guess once I get that one down real good I will try another back carry whats your second fav?
snuffy from what I readand was told ellaroo is thinner so you get more pressure points so it makes it a harder wrap to wrap with, Im sure my wrap wasnt purfect but I have to say it took me 2 secs to do you should try it what carries have you been doing?
