Looks alright to me - her leg looks a bit low in pic 1 but better in pic 2... I'm still massively jealous of the fishes *sigh*

This is us this evening - sometimes only a wrap will do, there's no way he would have calmed down enough for this in the ergo.

Now how to tell DH hes too heavy for the stretchy and I've offered on a Hopp on NM FSOT? Freckle - was sorely tempted by your Storch, but I'm not really a pink or stripey girl Excellent price tho, good luck with your sale

it looks good lozzy. but i'm no expert

infact im hating babywearing at the moment. my back is dodgey after epi, it hurts less to carry him on my back, but i cant get him on my back myself. i could, and i can eventually after wrestling, multiple attempts, and extreme arm ache afterwards, but its not practical.
it was always hard work, but now its near on impossible he just wriggles and kicks his legs out.

i would rather wear him than take a pram any day and so would he, but i'm having to take the pram because i'm on my own and cant get him in and out.

:'(

Can I please get some adivce?

I have finally gotten the courage to try out the back carry and have been kicking myself for not doing to earlier It's so much easier putting him in!

Anyway my main problem is when I have him on my back and I pull the straps to adjust the connecta, the the strap has been folding in the buckle so I can't tighten it any further. Do you understand what I mean? It looks like it has folden in half and is too thick to go through the buckle.

Can anyone help me?

 

[veganmum2be]

modo when you pull, do you pull the straps towards you or away from you.

to tighten my connecta straps i have to pull on them so im pulling them away from be behind me as thats how they are positioned when strapped up.

if i was to pull them forwards it would begin to twist as its pulling the material and then tightening.

i have no idea if that makes sense, i cant think of how to explain it!

Try and change the angle your pulling it at, you may need to take the buckle off completely and put it back on again

I think I get what you mean and I will try it tom

This is our first week so wish I'd had it from day 1! Love it!

Winegums, I love your Chicago, it's such a classy wrap.

Loving the ickle babies purplepower and Mirrie.

Modo, you might find it helpful to unthread the buckles and iron the webbing on a low heat to press them flat. Then be careful not to pull them at an angle to the buckle when you tighten.

Looks good Lozzy! She could be a little higher and seated a little deeper, but I expect you'll find that you wrap a bit better every time you do it. And as she gets bigger it will be easier to get her higher up.

Lovely snuggly pic Tulip. Good luck breaking the news to your DH!

 

[lozzy21]

Thanks freckle, its a pain, i know where she needs to be but trying to get her there is another thing lol

I think their size definitely makes a difference, looking back at the earliest photos of Tabitha in a ruck she wasn't anywhere near as high up as I could get her a few months later.

I cannot get Ivy high up on my back at all! I have an Ergo. She is a very tall baby so I just don't understand it - she sinks so low on my back. Any tips freckle?

 

[louandivy]

Also I LOVE all the photos, you all look amazing!

It's much harder to get them high up with SSCs than wraps. I find that doing the waistband up round my ribs and bouncing her down into the seat really well helps (that way there's no slack at the bottom for her to sink down into), or supermanning her up with the carrier on her and tightening the shoulder straps before fastening the waist straps, but that's a bit awkward. She still ends up much lower down than in a wrap though.

 

[louandivy]

Thats great, I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thank you!

hi ladies!

my first time in natural parenting! thinking about lo becoming a cloth bum so just reading all your threads! Can I have some advice with my moby wrap please? Although it says only use at 8lbs my preemie is 6lbs 15oz and I've started wearing him in the kangaroo hold as he doesn't like the newborn hug, but I can't seem to get him high enough up, or really tight, he's currently boob level! Is it just practice makes perfect? Also do you guys wear you baby all day, at the moment I take him out for the day in his carseat as he doesn't fit the pushchair but I don't like him being in it for long periods of time and wondered if the wrap might be better. Ouch sorry for all the questions, hope you don't mind!xx

 

[lozzy21]

You need to fasten the wrap so its tight to your body before you put LO in and place the middle pannel around your boobs so its nice and high.
