Lets see you babywearing !

[MissRoc]

Oh thanks Tulip! I was trying to cheer up my afternoons spent in NICU! In the instructions it said to have the tag at my belly button so I thought maybe thats why he wasn't high enough, will give it another bash, thanks Lozzy! I was looking at a Mei Tai wrap, seems a bit less faff than a moby, is it?!

 

[Lliena]

Mei tais are a million times easier than tying a wrap round yourself if you find them tricky.But your baby is still too tiny for a mei tai at the min. Keep practising with your moby, it gets easier

hey hun my boy was 6lbs 15oz and fit easily in the moby. I've known people will really premature babies in them fine so your LO should be ok! I found (and still find with lots of carriers) to do it higher than recommended! I.e. mei tai I usually tie up near my boobs somewhere but most people do it around their waist or lower. Also with mobys I find the tigher the better due to the stretchy fabric.

Have a look on youtube there are some really good videos

Need advice advice ladies. A friend of mine uses a baby Bjorn for her one month old baby and has had since he was born. That's her choice and if she likes it then great. But today I saw her front facing. Should I say something? Or will I be interfering? Any good research I could show? Or advice on how to casually bring it into conversation? Or should I stay well out of it as she's a great mother and perfectly capable of making her own decisions without me butting in?!

It depends on how close you are, would she take offence or be greatfull for the advice?

 

[aliss]

Eek. 1 month is far too young to forward face (if ever) but yes, I would say something about it.

 

[Thumper]

I'm tempted to mind my own business but we are good friends. And I think I would rather someone I know tell me.

wrapping gurus, I bought a wrap from ebay, and it's very stretchy and much thinner than the moby, but feels lighter for summer but I feel that he is slipping down due to the strech, this is a pic, maybe I'm wrapping wrong? I know he's not wrapped correctly in the third one but he likes to lay pretty much upside down on me and he'd wiggled into this position!

 

[strawberry19]

our first go in our sling from victoria the slinglady!! love it

 

[purplepower]

What a pretty wrap.

 

[Tulip]

Purple, LO looks so snuggly! See if you can get his feet a bit higher so knees are higher than bum?

MissRoc and Strawberry they look great! MR if it feels like Finley is slipping could you tie a bit tighter?

I got my first woven today A trip to the shops in a loose FCC to let the air circulate between us

Tulip what a lovely wrap. How do I get his feet higher? Mommyof3 I have not had much luck with Mei Tai. He screams.

The fabric needs to come right to his knee pit.

Lyla in her sling.. love it!! we were at the beach and it was 1000 times easier than pushing a pram. also found i could lie down with it on and get back up easily xx
