Lets see you babywearing !

[JellyBeann]

Amazing babywearing pics everyone...I haven't been out in mine in soo long, I do have picture of daddy babywearing...but, it's on the hard drive and It's in the car...I'll get it when daddy gets back from squash and upload it!

 

[BeccaMichelle]

Oh no! I'm hooked! I've been reading through this thread off an on for the past few days. I've finally caught up with the present! I wish I'd seen this thread when I was trying to decide on a carrier! (I think natural parenting may be my new favourite section on bnb)

Here's my little Jessie in her peanut shell - she's 8 weeks old in the picture.

I only managed to do the cradle carry twice before she got too big for it and just looked squashed. We do the front kangaroo carry all the time now though (so I'll have to get some new pictures!) I wore her to the Scottish Baby Show a couple weeks ago and got so many comments! I was stopped last night in Babies R Us by a lady asking if this "was the new thing for babies" *laughs* in my head I was thinking.. umm.. I'm pretty sure people have been wearing their babies for hundreds of years but I refrained. I explained how it worked and where she could find one though. She seemed to like the idea and I was thrilled that I'd kind of introduced someone to babywearing!

I borrowed my friend's moby last week and I'm completely in love! Sooo much easier than the peanut shell, since the shell still requires I keep one hand on the baby. But having read this thread I don't know if I want a moby, an ellaroo or a babyhawk!!! Wish I was rich enough just to get all of them!

 

[BeccaMichelle]

Awwww!! My hubby just authorized the purchase of a black moby wrap for Mother's Day and I actually won the auction!! 1st class postage so it should be here early this week!! *Excited*

love that peanut shell she looks so cozy

 

[BeccaMichelle]

I loved the colors and was able to pick it up on ebay for £10 so I was thrilled So easy just to pop on if we're out and she gets annoyed in her pram and needs to be picked up!

Thats some lovely wraps/slings there mumto3!

 

[bjl1981]

Here's us last week on holiday, doing our first back carry! He's in his Action baby carrier

 

[BeccaMichelle]

4boys4years - awesome wraps! Guess with 4 kids you've really gotten the chance to try a lot of them out! I really like the Nati Sweet Place with merino.. I've never seen one like it. What kind of tie.. (erm wrap style err maybe hold is the right word) are you using?

Here's my new moby! Realized after the picture was taken that perhaps a black shirt with a black wrap isn't the best way to show it off!

[4boys4years]

i only started 'real' babywearing with DS3. it just made sense with 3 under 2 and a half, i really wish i'd started sooner!

Sweet place, jade deli and the ocah tula were all up for sale over on natural mamas last time i looked I wish i could buy them all back but i decided to buy bugaboo bee for DS3 and i'm skint The carry i'm doing i made up, i did do a tutorial for it but i don't think anyone got it LOL, it's sort of a hip cross carry but with LO sat tummy to tummy rather than in the cross at my hip x

has anyone got/tried/used a Hugabub wrap sling?

Im wanting to start wearing abigail now shes holding her neck well....shes 3 months.

Take a look at this link

https://www.cottoncradles.com/hugabubvsmobywrap.htm

I have a Moby (similar to this) stretchy but have just bought a Woven wrap as I find myself re-tying the moby now she is a bit heavier. I did plan on selling the Moby once my woven arrived, but mught hang onto it for a wee while yet . Its baby pink n I loves it I does

i've used a kari me which is similar. They're fairly easy to use, personally i prefer woven wraps. As a beginner it would be fab but at 3 months you can only expect to get a few month tops out of it before you will need something a bit more supportive x

 

[Caz-x]

Gem - OMG!!! Do you still have all of these????

ETA - Nice to see I arent limited to toddlerhawk for my 2yr old. I need to get a MT for him so me n daddy can go walking again

 

[4boys4years]

LOL no, i tend to have about 10 at a time, i have to sell stuff to fund them. Right now i only have 4 in use, 1 that's being converted into a ringsling and a couple of cheapies that don't get used. I have 4 custom carriers i need to pick fabrics for though atm too. Oh and 1 that i'm trying to find the perfect trade for so um yeah that'd be more than 10 once the customs are done

LMAO, my DH would KILL me of I bought that many hehe. I'm now wondering how I get the lovely Jade past him?? WOn in a competition perhaps

 

[twiggy56]

Wow 4boys4years- thats ALOT!!!

Ok well i'l take your word as you obviously know what you're talking about!

Whats a good one for me to start out with? Shes 3months+ now, im quite slim frame...she likes to be held like the kangaroo carry...

I like the look of your ring ones, they look really comfy. I need good value for money and hubby says he will wear her even if its pink- so preferably pretty

not much huh?

I can vouch for her knowing her stuff, helped me loads choosing a woven wrap. It's her help that saved me wasting money on an ellaroo wrap or similar that wouldnt have coped with my toddler should I ever need to wear him. I am now the proud owner of a very nice woven wrap, that I now have to learn how to use . You tube here we come, just wish I knew a fab wrapper round here to teach me *sighs*.
