Lets see you babywearing !

nice pic miss-boo. Just a quick one tho ( sorry If I'm wrong & more seasoned babywearers correct me), I think at her age its better for their hips for their legs to be tucked up inside in the froggy position. I still have T with legs inside atm as I find the fabric too wide for her still. :shrug::blush:
 
I asked the question in here about what age is ok to untuck baby's legs, I only got 2 replys but the 2 that did reply said I should be ok at her age.
I also did some internet research and the common answer I got is that there is no minimum age for the legs out position, as long as baby is comfy and is seated with knees. higher than her bottom.

I tried her froggy but she didn't seem to like it. but with legs out fell asleep for over an hour.

someone please tell me if I'm wrong? I don't want to be harming her:nope:

I was just going off what I had read, don't worry, if she was in pain she'd let you know. I feel bad for saying it now. I will pop a quick question on NM & ask the lovely ladies there as they will know better than anyone. I never saw your other question, sorry, I've not been on here much for a while :hug:.T also grumbles at first in froggy position, but soon settles.
 
don't feel bad! I'm new to baby wearing so I'm not entirely sure myself.
I tried Alexa again froggy position but she just squirmed and cried, i tried walking around to settle her but she wasn't having it :(
I've put her back into legs out and she's asleep again. so I assume she's most comfy.
I'd still like to know what others say as i want to be sure i'm not harming her development. :flower:
 
I have asked for you, will let you know what they say. I find getting T into the correct froggy position a pain & I think it looks so uncomfy, I just wrap the straps right under her bum for the extra support.I'm curious as to what the replies will be myself. Can I just say your LO looks adorable :love:. Also, you look to be in fab shape after having a baby so she has less body to get her hips round than I do :rofl:
 
thank-you very much for asking :flower:
I've always been very petite so I guess it is a bit easier for Alexa to get her legs around me, I'm also quite short so I don't have much torso for her to squish up on!
it's a bit gutting that she doesn't like to be in the froggy position on my anymore, she used to LOVE laying all squished up on me :( now she just wants to be sat up all the time, they grow so fast!
 
heres me n jacob in his lascal

Agreed :( The Babyhawk looks really nice, I love some of their pink/floral ones but not sure if it'd make people think Finley was a girl [he does have a very boyish face, but I dress him quite neutral a lot of the time].

Shopgirl...not heard of the Lascal before, I'll have to look it up :)
 
Miss Boo if she seems comfy i wouldn't worry. I had a hell of a time with Noah at her age. He didn't want legs in anymore but everything we had was too wide. I used to pop a chest strap around one of my MT bodies to cinch it in a bit for him, you could do it with a headscarf, ribbon or scrunchie too if you did feel she was a little overstretched. She looks fine to me though. I used to wear Ethan legs out at 6 weeks, we'd moved on from a tomy carrier so it didn't really make sense to try wearing him legs in iykwim :shrug:
 
I have just taken the plunge with baby wearing, and decided on a Mei Tai.
Hubby uses the Mothercare 3 way carrier

On a ferry in an Ergo. Lots of tourists around (mostly from Asia because this is in Vancouver, Canada) and got a lot of attention! Lots of smiles from senior Asian ladies? Must've reminded them of their baby days :flower:

He was only 6 weeks in this picture and it was windy outside so he's hidden.

Hubby even had a go with the Mei Tai, but I had to tie Daniel in, and hubby said he would NEVER trust himself to tie him in on his own (he is terrified of dropping him) - He said he will stick to the Mothercare carrier!!

(PS - can you tell I LOVE stars!! :D)
 
Here I am carrying Kaiden at 2 weeks old in his Baby Buddha! We haven't tried out our Ergo's yet as he's loving this carrier/position. Problem is it is really hot here so I can't carry him that much as he boils in there. I look terrible and exhausted in the pic. :)

Aliss - love the ergo, it was too expensive for us, so we got the Moby and a mei tai instead.

We used the Moby on a ferry in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago (Jackson was 3 weeks old) - here's a pic:
