im new to this whole baby wearing thing, perhaps you more experienced mommies can tell me if it looks ok.

ive got a needy lil man the last couple days. he seems to have started teething and is only happy when mommy is holding him. this has been the only way ive been able to get things done.

Looks lovely and snuggly how did it feel? You can have his legs out if you find it easier, they can have them out from day 1 x

Thanks loopy. Felt good. He likes to be really curled up/fetal position-like so i think hed prefer his legs in. But good to kno its ok if theyre out! I may just try later today and see what he thinks.

I am newly in love with baby wearing, I have a lovely new pram sitting in the hall that I don't we will ever use, I just love wearing my little baby

Here he is in his moby wrap and his ring sling. Also down my tight top which acts as an in the house sling

A couple from me...first DH wearing LO in our r & r (he now calls it his sling) on Thursday at Kew Gardens and me wearing her in my Amazonas on Friday at the Tower of London.

I will admit to feeling a bit smug looking at the poor people who had to leave their buggies out in the rain...there are an awful lot of stairs!!

Still not confident with the moby wrap, it gets loose quickly despite doing the knot up tightly and her head doesn't seem supported enough - wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I've ordered a Mei Tai style sling to see how that it.....

 

[Tulip]

It does need to be tight enough that you can't imagine being able to fit a baby in there Also you could try tucking a rolled- up muslin in the sling behind her neck to support her head x

 

[Faythe]

you've got your moby super loose, that's why hun.

Needs to be tight like in my pics.....

 

[BUGaBOO]

Thanks - what is the part I need to tighten up?! Still not sure where I'm going wrong as I thought I was pulling the wrap as tight as possible at every stage

 

[Faythe]

you can see the slack on your shoulders - it shouldn't sag like that honey. Keep it tight from the start, so the wrap is snug against you. You can always pull it tighter after you've finished pre-tying before LO goes in

 

[loopy82]

Bugaboo, is there a sling library near you? I don't know how common they are in Australia but it would be worth looking in to, they could help you tweak how you are wearing it x

 

[Faythe]

Or look at youtube tutorials

 

[BUGaBOO]

Thanks for the replies! I did look at you tube tutorials - that's how I learned to tie it but will try again! Mei Tai arrived today and I think I prefer it (easier to get on and off & not as hot as Moby) though she still sits low in it with her face nestled in my boobs - no sling groups near but I wish there was will post a pic of her in the Mei Tai when I take one

 

[CoffeePuffin]

We got a new woven today!
Sorry if the pics are big.

She doesn't look very happy here! Oh dear.

Bugaboo are you on the baby wearing buy sell swap page on fb? There might be a sling group close enough to you that you don't know about, or a member living nearby willing to meet up and give you hands on help.
But yeah a moby is too hot for this time of year!

 

[BUGaBOO]

Ooh no I've not heard of the group, how do I find it? I'm in Brisbane so hopefully there's something nearby.....
