Lets see you babywearing !

LOL this is nothing compared to other mamas, and not all that has come through my doors :blush:

Twiggy i love ringslings for young babies, they're easy to pop them in and out of, not too hot, no long bits of fabric to get in a muddle with when they want up NOW/you're running late as usual :haha: They get a bit ouchy after an hour or so, especially if like me you're a serial adjuster. I tend to use mine for nursery runs, quick trips in the car, if i'm going anyhere he can be put down or if i've wrapped/put him in a MT to go somewhere on the bus and get him out at all as it's easier than trying to wrap sat down. If i go anywhere for a few hours + i choose a 2 shouldered carrier.

douI would reccomend a double layered sling like a sakura bloom double linen or one made from a wrap, there are various shoulders and that's down to personal preference. I like gathered and UGS which is gathered but with elastic across the back, SBP (sleeping baby productions - pleated) and kalea are good too. I would look at preloved on naturalmamas for a good deal, if you buy one and don't like it you can usually sell them on for a similar price :thumbup:
 
Ok, anyone know what this carry is???

hmmm is it double hammock? i don't know a lot of back carries as i never seem to get them comfy, anyway it looks like what i remember double hammock as.

quick guess to how this is done (i can't remember)

get LO on your back with the wrap off centre - shorter side going over your shoulder and longer under the other. Hold the shorter side between your knees once spread nicely. Take the longer side round your front and pass under the other arm, spread it over LO up towards other shoulder. Take both ends and tie under the bum, spread the front bit out (optional but i remember this being what made it more comfortable).

There will probably be vids on youtube. When i tried this i think i put the wrap through Ethan's legs rather than just cupping his bum like a rebozo, i liked the added security, anyhow it's a popular carry and pretty forgiving if the wrapping isn't spot on :winkwink:
 
oh no i just realised i havent taken any pics wearing bubs! i will do that soon... if tomorrow isnt too hot i'll be wearing him at my neices/nephews bday party
 
I have a homemade ring sling, homemade woven wrap similar to a moby in shape/length, a pouch sling that I made that I never use, homemade Ghanian-style wrap, and a babyhawk for hubby! Love them all. I use the BH the least though - it's the prettiest but I find myself reaching for the homemade ones the most!

kiwi - don't you love it when people stop and ask you where you got it, and you get to say, "I made it!!"
 
Nice homemade woven wraps Stiina and purple_kiwi :) Your LOs look comfy and cozy

I made another this weekend too- I can't go into Fabricland without coming out of there with fabric for another carrier :dohh: Can't resist $10 for 5m of fabric though :thumbup:
 
Wow :shock: 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 :D

not much huh? :rofl:

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 :haha:. You tube here we come, just wish I knew a fab wrapper round here to teach me *sighs*.

Which did you end up getting Caz, if you don't mind me asking? I just bought a connecta integra and I love it once its on but can't adjust the straps by myself which is a bit useless! I took it away at the weekend and found myself missing my wrap! I was going to get an ellaroo, but they are expensive and if there's a better one I'd get that! x

I ended up with an Ellevill Jade in Royal. It was a bit more than I originally wanted to spend, but its lovely & v strong, I tried a back carry with DS the day it arrived n he's 2 lol. It's very different for me to use mind as am used to a moby which is easy to tie, I find it difficult to get a tight knot in this but thats down to practice nothing else :shrug:. I got mine pre loved on Natural Mamas, I put an 'iso' (in search of) on once I decided on what I wanted & a lady pm'd me. They have a great sales section too, take a look:thumbup:. I just bought a babyhawk too :blush: & love that aswell, DH had K in it on his back & I've used it with T on my front.
