Lets see you babywearing !

[Sbmack]

I like front wrap cross carry for a newborn. To add more security to the head just roll up a receiving blanket or cloth diaper under the top rail. It will keep the head from flopping over. The cradle carry is ok (it's good for nursing in a ring sling) but you have to be more careful of the babies airways. Make sure the chin is not on the chest.

I hate that instructions often have cradle hold it can potentially be so dangerous we always did a tummy to tummy hold following the babywearing "TICKS"

When is the right age to back carry?

In a woven wrap once they can hold their head well usually around 4 months but you also need to be very good at tightening so they don't slump, in a SSC or mei tai when they can sit as it is not supportive enough for floppy spines

Here we are babywearing on an extremely wet and muddy day at a local country park! We went with my toddler and it's days like today that I am so grateful for my carrier as I can't even begin to imagine getting a buggy round this place!

Ugh. Don't know why all my photos are sideways.

Home from our morning walk, it was chilly!

Here are my two newest. I decided to mix it up a little and wear DD for once. She wanted to be worn like her baby brother so I put her on the front. It was lush! In addition, today the little man and I decided to wear the Moby for a change

Happy 12 weeks Sbmack!! Love the wrap

 

[Sbmack]

Thanks, busytulip. It's a ruckstar handwoven. It's very thick and dense. Different than most hw's I've tried. I joined a group on FB for traveling wraps and have been able to try a lot this way.

In our new Girasol ring sling .

 

[Sbmack]

Aww. Love that Kiwi!

I definitely need a new RS for my squish due in Sept. The one I have now is pretty thick and not super soft...great for my toddler.

So tempted to try a ring sling! The rainbow ones are lush!

I love RS's! They are great with little and big babies. So good for quick trips into a store. When dd was little I loved them for eating. I could easily put her in a little off to the side and at that age she'd often just fall asleep and I could have dinner in peace.

They are great with toddlers who want to go up and down all the time too. It's easy to just have a RS draped over you for when they don't want to walk anymore.

I think I'm going to go for it! Being able to eat dinner has sold it to me! That is the one downside of front carrying - baby is right in front of my face when I eat

I love the ring sling! A friend told me that linen is harder to break in than cotton so keep that in mind when purchasing one! . There are lots of good brands out there, the one I have is Girasol and from what I hear their the best at rainbow patterns. The rainbow one I have is a "Light Rainbow".
