Lets see you babywearing !

[Lliena]

I sold my wraps the other month as I was in love with my huckepack, but I have really missed wrapping and the snuggliness you get from it. So I bought a girasol no 25 from FSOT on natural mamas the other day and it just arrived. I will be practising again when Avalon wakes up

I wore my Storch out today for the first time properly We received a lot of admiring looks and comments Had to take it to the Slingmeet first this morning to learn how to use it properly though I can now do a back ruck carry (for when I'm doing stuff at home) and FCC for out and about He loves it - Whoop! Photos to follow soon

My petite toddler Wompat finally arrived this morning and I'm thrilled with it! The kiddies have been fighting over who gets to go up next and refusing to get down!

Wow that one looks awesome!! Love the hood

It's funny how they ask for it, mine does too (well he puts his arms up). It's too bad that most people think of babywearing as 0-4 months and don't realize how much more fun it can be with a toddler!!!

Oooo that's lovely.

Nice pixie hood

I may have just accidentally on purpose bought a wrap in waffle fabric from a WAHM selling off her stock. Justifying it by calling it potential stock for the NW Kent sling library...

yeah took me ages to master back carry, and hes super wriggly so at times its almost impossible, we did have it down to an art for weeks, however past few times i've wrapped him its just not right, i'll upload some pictures if someone doesn't mind having a look, he just doesn't sit right, i'm doing the knee to knee of wrap, just a ruck, go over the legs cross and under wrap around me once then tie at front, and his legs aren't right they stick out funny and are barely in the wrap, the other day i think his legs slipped out so he wasn't supported by the cross over. that doesnt even seem to make sense to myself so theres no hope for anyone else understanding. but il upload some pics if someone can help!!

freckle that is gorgeous

Bex try tucking the bottom of the wrap in the waist band of his trousers, thats the only way i can get Niamh's bum to stay in.

 

[veganmum2be]

its not that, his bum stays in its his legs that are the problem, when his legs slipped out before his bum was still in the 'seat' of the wrap. i'll put a pic on tomorrow to show what i mean

I know what you mean, he the wrap comes up leaving the fabric only round his bum and comes put from under his legs, I had the dame problem till some one on here suggested tucking it in her waist band and it works.

When you do the passes over and under the legs, make sure you lift his legs over the wrap rather than taking the wrap underneath them. That way it helps to keep the tension in the wrap. Also make sure the bunched pass is sitting right at his knee-pit rather than further up his leg. Not sure if any of that will help or not.

we went to The Romsey Show yesterday.
I refused to push a pram round a wet field like so many others were doing (you could see the strain in their faces!!)
A lot of people stopped me to say how comfortable we both looked, and what a great idea it was to have him in a carrier while trying to walk on muddy ground and look at stalls in crowded tents!
So, here is Daniel asleep in the Rose and Rebellion and in his mac when the rain came.

Love the toy idea! Very clever

Love the toy idea! Very clever

Thanks.
Its a little taggy monster with his name embroidered on the back and its own little beaded clip. Its light enough to clip to the carrier and gives him enough bits to fiddle with. The pink thing is a mirror on a cord with a clip that came with my Pink Lining changing bag. Its ideal to see what he is up to if I am on my own. He also likes to look in it himself (Vain little thing)
