Lets see you babywearing !

Gah!!! Just my luck... can't seem to find them online anywhere?
 
Speaking of back carries, if no one minds me sneaking in a question; any of you with Ergos, when you wear LO on your back... does the belt loop seem to dig into your stomach a bit? Am I wearing it too high? I kinda place it in the same spot as I would if I were front wearing him...

I've tried back carry once, and got a bit embarrassed about my flab sticking around the belt! :blush: Been using the hip carry when I want to give him more of a look-about...

Me too! I wear like a baggy(ish) t-shirt, and then it doesn't look too bad lol, like this:

Definitely will have to try with the baggy shirt, then! ;)
 
When I wear a tight one, I feel really fat, as my mummy tummy flops over the top lol!! DH tells me I'm stupid, and to just shut up lol!
 
This was last week going crabbing in the estuary.

Alternative use for ring slings! Tabitha was determined to get as close to the edge as possible, and even tried to climb off backwards a few times.

Eventually my nerves couldn't take it anymore so she went safely onto my back!

And here's one of today, grumpy girl refused to nap so she came up for snuggles while I was tidying.

The second one is ace lol. Iv used my wrap to secure Niamh into highchairs and swings when were out since shes still to small for most.
 
Where has my tiny baby gone :cry:

Would have been better if I wasn't in my dressing gown lol
 
Selling my ergo now :cry: as Lo just throws himself around trying to get out of the back carry, so that's it for us babywearing :cry: i'm so upset.

:hugs: Would you consider trying a different carrier once you've sold it? The Ergo is notoriously low in the body, so you might find that a taller toddler-sized carrier would stop your LO throwing himself around. :hugs:
 
I hadn't thought about a toddler carrier :dohh: I just thought the ergo would last us. Which ones are good? :flower:
 
Assuming you want a full buckle SSC, some options off the top of my head are toddler Rose & Rebellion, size 2 Huckepack (incredibly adjustable), Nubigo (can be customised to your own measurements), Manduca (has an extendible back panel) and toddler Bamberoo. Is there a sling meet near you where you could try out some different carriers before buying?
 
OK, got my Ellevill wrap on Friday and here was my first attempt at wrapping Xavier. Never wrapped before other a couple of minutes attempt at a sling meet with a different wrap. Feel free to let me know what could be improved (made my lower back ache after carrying him for a while so guessing it wasn't quite 'right).

Elphaba, that's a gorgeous colour on you both! Looks like FWCC (forward wrap cross carry)? The centre pocket could possibly be a bit tighter. Then bring the cross passes right across the full width of his back and bum (you can see the right one isn't really giving much support), tighten and then tuck each tail under the leg on that side before tying at the back (looks like you've got the wrap going over his legs instead). Love that first photo, he looks very comfortable! :)

Thanks, I love the colour too! Yes it was supposed to be a FWCC. I did realise after I'd taken the pictures that the tails were meant to go under his legs and not over - must remember that next time. Think he was comfy enough though and felt pretty supported - just more about getting it comfier for me now :haha:
 
Try gathering the material thats on your shoulders, i find that helps.

Thanks for the info :) I think there might be a sling meet near here, will have a look. I did want to try a wrap but don't think he will be patient enough for me to practice.
