And I'm also planning to get a Mei Tai carrier, although I haven't picked one yet. I can't WAIT to baby-wear, I haven't since my little brother was about 2 or 3 years old (I was 15 when he was born ).

However, if anyone has better suggestions PLEASE come and give me advice in this thread!! Thank you

After finally giving up on the back carry I tried Bobby in the forward position in my connecta. It was sooooo easy I have been carrying him to the playground by our house (3 min walk) and I would DIE by the time I get there (he weighs 24lbs). In the Connecta its so much easier plus my hands are free

Why didn't I think of trying it before

Why did you give up on the back carry modo? I find it so easy to do with the ergo.

 

[Surreal]

Ergo in action! Easier to front wear, for now... and take the backpack with me. Haven't done a back wear outside, yet.

Eli looks like he's glaring something down.

Some newer ones of Fin & I. He has a muzzie on his head rather than the sleep hood as he'd just fallen asleep and i only had like 2 mins walk left.

I need some advice ladies I'm getting married in 12 days and plan on wearing LO during the ceremony. I have a lush turquoise wrap that is a perfect colour but I'm thinking it will be too 'big' IYKWIM. cover me up too much, expecially if it is warm. I'm wearing a really simple cotton summery maxi dress. I also have a ring sling but he doesn't like it and it's a horrid dull colour. And a carrier but that would look daft as it's a baby bjorn black one. I need some advice as what to wear. As I've spent a grand total of £40 on my outfit I feel I can afford to buy something for the day (a blatentexcuse but it works for me ). Turquoise is good. And I would love to have him forward facing if poss. He's got reasonable head control now and he'll be almost 3 months on the day. It's gonna be a really small (us and 2 friends) relaxed affair nothing fancy but wearing LO would just be so perfect we both think as it really includes him. It also means he wont cry! lol
Any recommendations appreciated! I will have to order it soon to make sure I get it in time though. We haven't had long to plan as we decided to get married then registered pretty much straight away and got the first date we could. We don't believe in long engagements

I promise to post pictures afterwards!

 

[aliss]

You are going to wear him at the ceremony!? PICTURES!!!!! Love it!

I would recommend a ring sling for a babywearing bride!

*PS There are quite a few issues with letting them face forward, especially at 3 months, I really wouldn't recommend it at all. As an alternative look up the "kangaroo" carry.

 

[Thumper]

Thanks I will try him again in the ring sling and find a position in which he gets comfy and get him used to it- facing in. I'm looking now for some light weight pretty ones
I've started a new thread as after posting in here I wasn;t sure how many views it would get.

Does anyone have experience with back carries in cold/ rainy weather? How do you keep yourself and bubs warm? Or do you just front carry with coat around them? xx

 

[fluffpuffin]

Pixxie I just put her in the same amount of clothes as in a pushchair when she's on my back - maybe just put on some tights under trousers to keep legs warm if the trousers ride up. You will both be nice and toastie even on your back, trust me. Your body will still keep her warm & you will shield her from cold wind. Then just use a big brollie to cover both of you

What do you wear though? Do you put baby on over your coat or what? xx

You can use an extra large man's rain jacket and just put the jacket on yourself (you will look like Quasimodo) then use an umbrella! If it's super cold, then put LO in a snowsuit underneath (I use a thin rain coat, XL)

 

[fluffpuffin]

yes, I do wear a coat / jacket underneath, then put the ergo on top - I have learnt through trial and error - less clothes is better as she is like a hot water bottle attached to my back. maybe just use a lightweight jacket and see how you go. I was sweating buckets the first few times an so was LO because I dressed us far too warmly.

But then the jacket would be over bubs head and she wouldnt be happy xx
