Lets see you babywearing !

[lepaskilf]

wow, i was surprised to find this thread on the second pages, where have all you lovely baby wearers gone?!

Well here's me and tom in a snugglysling mai tai, i'm planning on selling it on ebay soon as now summer is coming we plan on longer, hillier walks so have invested in a rucksack carrier. I will miss front carrying x

AWWWWW Leila looks sweet in the Moby if you are finding it slips a bit why not try wrapping then putting her in then almost unwrapping her so you can get her really tight IYGIM i have to do this now to get her in tight enough when i use my Moby

I wrap first then pop her in but i leave it a bit loose, think i need to wrap it round me snug then squeeze her in and see if that helps.

Cant picture how you describe it .

Not been using it much while got a mei tai on loan cause thats much quicker but i like how snug this feels - especially when its a bit colder out.

Is there a thread somewhere about local meets? At the moment, I have a Moby that I bought off one of the BnB girls, which was perfect on a 5 hour journey up to North Wales last week! I wasn't able to master the cradle hold though - I was hoping to breastfeed him in it, but that wasn't happening. So, my first public breastfeeds were on the long train from Euston and then, thanks to a late train, on a busy rush hour one home from Vauxhall! I didn't get any positive or negative reactions really, but a fed baby was the important thing anyway! I'd like something easier on the carrier front as well, so I'm considering perhaps a mei tai.

Hiya - I found my localish group via this site:

https://www.slingmeet.co.uk/forums/index.php

I love my moby - so cuddly. Have had mei tai on loan from my local sling groups library (£5 for a month so quite handy for trying them out) and have now bought one . Next to try a woven wrap but think i will deff need some help with that as they look so complicated!

kelly, id recommend starting off tighter aswell, if its too tight she will soon let you know, remember that because its stretchy you can have it tighter than you might think because obv it will stretch round her so if there is a little bit of slack in there to start with it'll get worse the more you move

Cheers - I think it worked ok before cause she wasnt that heavy. I havent used it for a few weeks and she has filled out a fair bit and it obviously now needs to be tighter. Trouble is it feels ok when you put it on and its when your 10 mins away from home, in a field, with the dog that it feels loose and theres no way of redoing it

Ive got lazy with using the mei tai, at least that i can tighten up while out and about.

hah ayeh mei tai is easier but i love my wrap because of how many different ways you can use it

i have a woven wrap for sale if youre interested, i made it myself so am not after much, just a few quid and postage really, will find you a pic if you want, its yellow with pink and blue flowers

Oh pics would be lovely - am hoping to get to one of my local sling meets to try one out but to have one here to play with would be helpful . I do love my moby but yeah mei tais are easier.

Adele - will let you know about that wrap once ive tried one out on wednesday at the sling meet.

First pics of Leila in the melkaj - will post more once weve been out with someone who can take pics of us.

Didnt feel very comfy - need to practice with it a bit i think to get it sat right. Ive only just got the hang of our borrowed Joey sling and this is a different shape with wider straps so needs some practice. Plus i think its never going to feel as comfy as a wrap they just hold them much closer and feel far more secure.

Need tips on back carries - tried to get her on my back but once she was there i had no idea what to do with her so had to put her down on the bed.
