Lets see you babywearing !

[too_scared]

My favourite back carry is Charlie's Cross Carry with a saltwater finish. I just put the lower pass above my belly. I don't know how it would be later in pregnancy but it was good then. I tie my onbu Tibetan.

I find my shoulders really hurt without a chest pass with a back carry. I like the extra support. But, I'll have to learn a more comfy carry with less passes for the summer. Not this summer because little girl will be on the front and dh will carry kiddo if he wants up but next summer for sure.

Even in winter here I get too hot in multi pass carries and chest passes So I just keep it simple

I wish I could say that for here! We still have snow at least 4 feet deep in our backyard! Yuck! But, that's Newfoundland for you. We get 2 months of summer, a month each for spring and fall, and the rest is winter! Haha!

A couple of recents

I was talking away for ages... looked down and found this...

And today in her new boots!

I wore her sooo much when she was a newborn in a stretchy wrap and I adored that... It was so easy and so quick. Now I don't feel a stretchy is supportive enough and I have the prettiest wrap (ellvill zara sophia) but I just can't get on with it. It's beautiful but no matter how often I try, it takes forever, my arms are aching, I'm knackered, sweating, irritated and she's either too low or too high, some parts are too tight and the top rail is too loose. No matter what. Every time. I just can't get my head around it. Obviously the stretchy was so easy because doing it too tight didn't matter - it would stretch over her! I think I'm going to have to sell it and buy a new pretty, girly connecta instead I get on really well with the connecta but those black straps hanging down are ugly!

Minted, beautiful pictures!

Are you using tutorials on Youtube to help with the wrap? What carries are you trying? I found wovens much easier to use than stretchy wraps. I also watched a ton of videos though while stuck on the couch nursing

ps. those booties are super cute and so is she!!

Sleeping baby on back

Thank goodness for babywearing. This is the only way I can get her down for a nap. Luckily she transfers now better than she used to.

I was just wondering, is it normal to have back and shoulder pain the first few weeks that you wear a baby? I have been baby wearing for about 4 weeks now and the pain isn't easing up. I wear him pretty much the whole day and I'm using a wrap with a 'kangaroo hold' that I saw on a moby video. My baby is 4.6kg I see you lot wearing toddlers and i think HOW?!!

Stretchy wraps aren't nearly as supportive so I imagine they might cause some pain, I would try to get it as tight as you possibly can before putting baby in. Woven wraps are much more comfortable especially once baby gets to about 15 lbs

I've never been able to front carry with any sort of carrier and have it be comfortable. It always hurts and it's so tiring. I can wear either kid on my back for ages though and neither are light, Thomas is about 19kg and Sophie is close to 15kg.

I love this wrap!!

 

[Sbmack]

Girly922, is that your Weaving Heart? So pretty! V looks so big!

 

[Girly922]

It is, it just feels so yummy to wrap with
She's getting rather big now, I think she's just had another growth spurt as I'm sure she's taller. I'll have to mark her height at the weekend.

I'm liking the fwcc with ruck shoulders and tibetan tie for this hotter days

I can wear my 17lb almost 9 month old in a stretchy and not feel pain. It could just be that your back can't take a front carry but with such a small baby, I doubt it - it's likely to be an issue with how it's wrapped I'd have thought. I have a bad back and, like I said, can still wear her in a stretchy with no pain. If I accidentally do up my connecta wrong though? Ouch. Back pain is unbearable within 15 minutes.

Fwcc is a front carry. How do you do that with ruck straps and tied tibetan?

Here's my first attempt at tandem babywearing!

My OH doing a spot of toddler wearing while we walked up a mountain. Excuse the leg tan lines, he works outdoors.

I'm jealous of how well the kinderpack fits on his body. I'm so short that it always looks weird on me and sits wrong.
