You'll be glad for the extra length when he gets bigger, and you can try other types of carries. :thumbsup: Your first DH looks great!!

trying out our new wrap today

i was trying to do a 'reinforced ruck with tibetan tie' but it seems like my arms aren't long enough to get the material high on my back and then slide it down successfully. it was so hard!
so i did the double hammock (pictured) but that was still quite fiddly and took alot of wrestling with wriggly baby, and the wrap around my chest was slack and i couldn't work out how to tighten.

but suppose i'll figure it out with practice.
as soon as it arrived i threw it on my front and put him in it rather sloppily and it was still so supportive, literaly couldnt feel the weight at all. AMAZING. was even better when i did it properly. wish i had got a woven sooner!

...however i totaly over estimated the size of wrap i needed, there is quite a bit of material left over.

Looking good A reinforced ruck is one of the hardest to do, you will get there though!

To tighten the DH when you bring the piece of wrap round your body then bck up over your shoulder pull it straight up in the air and the piece in your other hand pull out to the side, so your making an L shape. That should help to tighten it all over

Here's Megan in our Rose & Rebellion - bought pre-loved off Veganmum2be.
Hope I've got it right - seems pretty simple and is very comfortable. Meg just goes straight to sleep.

Can you carry a baby facing frontwards in a mei tai? I thought it might be uncomfy and bad for their spine or something? I have my custom mei tai on it's way, can't wait! Currently borrowing one from the surestart centre at present.

 

[veganmum2be]

no you cant face them out in a mei tai, you can put them on your back though so they can see better, or on your side/hip

What do you think of my ergo in the pic above?

Thats my OH wearing it, not me

 

[sma1588]

it looks nice but is it for newborns too? i like the moby because there legs dont have to be spread so far apart like on the mai tai so im trying to find something he can wear and that is comfy for LO to and the 2 just arnt comming togather very well. the ones he said he would wear the bottom part wear her legs would go through are so wide

Yes, it comes with an infant insert. I have been wearing him since newborn. You just put them in the froggy position until they are ready to go out (ie. 3-4 months). If he's not willing to wear a wrap then all SSC's (soft structure carrier, like with buckles) will be similar - froggy first, then legs out after 3 months+.

Get some ribbon and makes the seat of a mei tai narrower to suit the newborn

 

[aliss]

This is what a newborn looks like in an ergo (and the same positioning can be used for mei tai):
