so baffled how you put LO in a carrier on your back. i'm assuming it takes 2 people to do that right??

 

[hot tea]

I do it by myself. It's called the santa toss.

 

[emmylou92]

I know a lot of people can do it with out a second preson, lots of practice, I could never do it haha.

Veganmama, did you get to have a lotus birth?

 

[emmylou92]

Emmy I was planning on using bumgenius for LO when they are born, but BG XS are not very good quality i heard. So i'm sticking to fitteds and covers I think.

Think I will get some pre folds and wraps. And a few teeny fits for mum and OH to use

Im guessing, with all the night feeds and anll with a NB cloth over night should be pretty easy.

Gorgeous wrap, Falko looks adorable.

 

[veganmama]

not a complete one. i kept it for 24hours and got fed up. i was in so much pain from the stitches i could barley move plus the breastfeeding pain and the stress of making sure the placenta wasn't falling over and always holding it was just too much for me to handle

le sigh

Oh my thats gorgeous! I get paid on friday and am going to buy my first woven wrap!!! I have an ergo but would really like to try a woven wrap. What brand of woven wraps would you recomend?

 

[emmylou92]

Fair play for doing 24 hours, I could't of done it.


I love the wrap, tiny winy bit jealous!

I highly recommend the didymos woven wraps. The pfau is didymos. They are by far the most expensive wraps, but they are the most beautiful, ornate and well crafted. I LOVE.

If your wallet can't take it (my size six pfau was 250 $) then I recommend Girosol or Ellaroo. Go long, as least 4.2 meters.

 

[hot tea]

Also I wouldn't go with a pattern like the pfau, I would make sure to get stripes, also referred to as rails. This is best for a learning wrapper.

Im really torn as to what to get now, i was thinking a rose and rebellion and a boba 3g OR baby hawk....now I'm thinking maybe a wrap rather than the boba or hawk!

Have to see what OH wants!

 

[emyandpotato]

It might be better to get a carrier with it coming up to summer. I tried wearing the sling when we had those boiling days in October and nearly died of heat, I imagine a wrap would be worse?

 

[hot tea]

I will be wrapping all summer. Silk/organic cotton breathes nicely. As long as you get a light weight wrap, you're good.

I am going to eventually get rid of my carriers and stick solely to wraps, I think.

SAD! Didn't get to wear Emerald today, I felt sick all day and not up to taking pics. Tiff the new wrap looks great.

I've only tried one type of wrap so far with the mei tai. just a normal front carry, and she wanted her arms over the top so we're gonna have to play around with different ways of wrapping, I can't wait to try the backpack carry, that seems like something she'd enjoy.

 

[hot tea]

Falko is really hating FWCC (the carry demonstated below). He used to love it, but we just went for a walk, and... Look at his face.

We got a carrier today from the local op shop. It's worth $60 but we got it for $2 It's a Snugli Carrier

That's the carrier we have I still haven't used it but OH mentioned today that he would like to carry her definitely wasn't expecting him to suggest something like that but it looks like we'll be putting it to use soon.

Is that a "crotch dangler" ?
I don't think I've seen a snugli that carried from knee to knee on the baby.
