Lets see you babywearing !

My first wrap in our woven :) I tied the 'tails' round the front today though as they were so long. Need more practice but loving it :) bought this cheap on casabu (sp?) now I want a colourful (shorter!) woven!!

Looks lovely :)
I actually prefer having it longer and tying round the front. I don't like having a knot in my back should I choose to sit down, plus I find it difficult to tie it round there. Plus I like tails :)

Wearing my sweet boy in the ring sling last night!

Lovely snuggly shot :D
 
You can still tie at side or shoulder with a short wrap.

Please excuse bad morning shot. Just discovered this carry today (hip wrap cross carry) and I officially LOVE it! I have since tried it tied more towards shoulder than hip and I think I prefer. Really supportive as uses both shoulders and LO really content looking around and snuggling in. Will be using this carry a LOT! Blows robins and poppins hip carries out of the water for me :)

Grey girl- never thought about the knot being at the back in a shorter wrap and how uncomfy that would be if I tried to sit down!! Excellent point! I'm now debating adding a ring sling to the collection so may keep the longer one, and get a colourful ring sling instead!
 
You both look so happy :D

Thank you - we're loving wearing :D

Lovely picture, really serene :)

I only found out because my LO likes to nap in the wrap and when I sat down after she was asleep I had to sit funny because of the huge knot in my spine! I prefer my 7 for that reason, a 6 I have to tie in back in a fwcc. Ring slings are great too :D
 
Just tried out a ring sling today and loved it (never mind that Isabelle screamed the whole time. She'll get used to it ;) ) so it's definitely next on the list!
 
My peanut shell isn't big enough this time around... I wonder if my shoulders have grown?? Thinking a ring sling would be a better option.

What kind do you have Counting? Joey looks soo big!
 
I've got an earthsling :) https://www.mylittleearthsling.com/. I find it really comfy and Joey absolutely LOVES it over any of my other carriers (I have a stretchy wrap, a woven and a mei tai). He actually smiles when he sees me get it out. On him looking big- he is a giant among babies :p. Well, not too giant, 13 pounds @ 2 months, but that was what size my nephew was at four months, so I'm conditioned to seeing much littler babies!:haha:

It's also super easy to use, I was given a peanut shell but it was actually too big, so I wasn't able to use it. But I think the ring sling would be on par with ease of use, the adjustment is really simple. I'm sure Gabriel would enjoy it. Joey likes it because I can put him in a hip carry and he can look at everything.
 
EPIC POST!

My new FireSpiral - Amber Gossamer <3

It's thicker than some other cotton wraps I've tried but it's not overly thick. And I don't think it'll take us long to break in as we wrap like twice a day for naps.

I'm not hunching over here - that's Jacob at the back of my head. Nice and high (and asleep)

So pretty!

So pretty!! I love your hair.

Does anyone have any experience with little frog wraps? I'm thinking of ordering one but would like to know before I do if they are nice and supportive for a big baby? Are they hard to break in? Are they soft?

Thanks in advance :)
 
I have had no experience myself with LF but I've heard good things about them. Everyone is differen't, though.

Breaking in wise, I think their linen blend might need a little extra beasting but you can braid it and give it a good steam iron to help it on it's way.

Thank you! It was actually purple but I'm washing it to fade out as I desperately need to bleach my roots and cannot do that with a head full of purple hair :haha:
 
Thanks for the info :) I am looking for a nice supportive rainbow that will last my rainbow boy into toddlerhood. He is a big boy already, 19 lb at 6 months so I need something very supportive. I was looking at the Agat Choco and thought it was super pretty but then it was sold out the very next day! I wish that I lived somewhere that I could go look at wraps before making a purchase. Being in the middle of nowhere is hard sometimes! :haha: Right now Finn is napping in the boba, but I sometimes find that hurts my back. I think it is because I don't really have it adjusted right, I think I need to adjust the shoulder straps differently. I have gotten it better but it's not quite there yet. I find that he feels absolutely weightless in a wrap and I can wear him all day. I just need to find the perfect rainbow for my little man.

You could bleach your regrowth with purple hair :) Do you do the bleaching yourself? Do you have a bowl and brush to put it on with? If you can get someone to apply the bleach to your regrowth only with a brush (not a hair brush, but a brush they use to put colour on in the salon :)) you could get it just on your regrowth and no where else. Then it shouldn't really affect the purple. You don't really want to bleach over hair that has already been bleached anyway because of the damage. I think the teal colour is very pretty, though! I would love to have all my hair lavender but I think those days are long gone for me now :( Unless I can get my WAHM thing on the go... then I can do whatever I want :)

From what I've heard LF wraps aren't so supportive for toddlers. But not exactly sure. Have you seen the babywearing love and support group on facebook? I'd ask there.
 
Thanks :)

I've asked on the FB group, Babywearing 102, but no one responded :(
 
Honestly, you can't really say that. It's such a personal thing. Maybe look at a linen blend LF as linen is great for heavy babies.

At the end of the day, I carry my 26lb almost 1yr old in 100% cotton wraps (Girasol Amitola and my FiSpi Gossamer) and it's fine. It is such a personal thing and depends on the wrap job (a sloppy one won't be very supportive)

I'm in BW'ing 102 :)
 
Me and freya at the woods the other day. I need a new sling though i only want to back carry as freya is one now and getting heavy so i need something that hold her weight. I'm kinda new to it all as i only babywear once in a while. So something simple would be great.:thumbup:

Thanks. :) The one I was looking at is a linen blend.

Sometimes I find that FB group very cliquey

It is! There are some other groups that are perhaps, less like that.
