It came!! Instant love for both me and baby

Any tips on breaking it in? I already washed it, dried it, steam ironed it, and braided it.

Love the rainbows! Is it cotton? Just keep wearing and braiding it and it should soften!

 

[too_scared]

Thank you I should have said what it was made of. Haha! It's cotton and linen. It's a little frog. Quite stiff right now but Finn loves it and snuggled right in.

His little face!! So sweet.

Oh my gosh he's adorable!

Re: the cotton and linen. It will take a lot longer because linen is stiffer, but it should happen if you keep braiding and using it! I hear linen is excellent in the summer, too.

Thank you Technically it's my Christmas gift but I'm going to try to get it broken in first So, lots of wrapping and braiding it is! Thanks again!

Baby wearing my boy for the first time. Totally in love with this. Much easier on my arthritic joints and is so snuggly! Any hints about improvements I could make to the wrap?

Hi, I've not posted on here for a while as my son has been too old for wearing. I've been stalking though, and love looking a babies being worn .... There's some fab wraps on here!

My 2nd was born 2 weeks ago. With my 1st I used a calin bleu fleece wrap for the 1st 4 months, then went on to a mei tai, and then an ergo when he was 1. The wrap was similar to a stretchy one and he started to get too heavy for it. I only ever carried him either in a cradle carry of front wrap carry.

This time round I have gone straight for a woven wrap, an Ellaroo. I am completely in love with it and use either that or my ergo (with her wrapped in a blanket and her legs tucked in) I haven't got any pics of her in the ergo or me out and about with the ellaroo but I took a couple in the house today. I carry her alot in the house as my OH is away for 2 weeks and she doesn't like being put down The back carry was a lot easier than I thought to do, I use this when washing the dishes .... It's great being able to breastfeed her in the wrap too as it means I can make my son's breakfast while she's having her feeding frenzy!

 

[too_scared]

Love the teeny babies all wrapped up!

 

[meli1981]

Me too!

 

[misspriss]

My first wrap with a woven! (That I made myself!)

 

[Toms Mummy]

Looks great misspriss, was it easy getting him on to your back?

Way easier than I thought. Everyone says "Don't try back carries until you do front carries for a month" or something. I watched youtube videos and put him up my first try. I watched LOTS of videos though. I believe that is a Rucksack Tied Tibetan.

Granted, I have carried him in the SSC on my back before, so I'm used to the motion. And I did it over the bed, just in case.

I would recommend lots of videos and written instructions (widely available online) for anyone trying to learn to back carry. Also, practice over a bed for the first few (or many!) times.
