Are all the straps adjusted, even the underarm ones? Tighten the strap on your back. Upper back?

There are babywearing covers, to answer your first question.

I was just saying 'twins' to My OH.

Lovely pics Tiffany!

Hope you manage to sort your carrier out Amy! Do you put a hat on Rory? Oli has one that covers his head, forehead, ears and some of his cheeks, so only a little bit of his face is popping out

 

[emyandpotato]

That sounds like a really good idea, where's it from? He wears a bobble hat but he pulls it over his face or off completely. The Boba has a hood which helps a little but he's still a grumpy bum about it!

 

[emmylou92]

You could get something like this or like this?

 

[Melibu90]

Hopefully you get something sorted out with the carrier, good luck x

Tiff do you ever smile? lol.

Hottea you seem to know a lot about baby carriers and wraps! I'm on my phone right now so can't ask all the questions I want but I plan on using a wrap, just need to research it a bit more! Will come back this weekend when I move to my new place! I plan on BF, babywearing, and co sleeping!

 

[veganmama]

so tell me, whats THE BEST ring sling carrier on the market?

&& whats the best carrier in general?

i have a beco gemini atm and tbh either i suck at putting him in it or it's just a horrible carrier

 

[lauram_92]

Amy, I got his hat from H&M. It was pretty cheap but it covers his head well. I can't find a link for it on their site Was a few months ago I ordered it so probably don't sell it now!

I started a Flickr account. Anyone with flickr who feels like following my natural parenting pictures, please add me! My username is carrythem. Or you can just click the link in my sig.

I also created a twitter and youtube with the same names. I am going to start pushing out on both. Videos will include babywearing advice and parenting things, and twitter will be where I push out new flickr pics, videos, links, even interesting threads later down the line (won't give that one away though).

ANYWAYS! Give me your usernames on flickr,

We had this hat which was perfect but he hates wearing it. Scuse OH's hair!

We went out today and he just fell asleep so hopefully he's getting more used to it, and it's coming up to summer anyway so won't be so much of a problem.

 

[Danigirl22891]

okay ladies Im looking to make the transition to cloth diapers. My questions is what is the best kind for a 21 month old and whats a good price? Im looking on ebay but feel lost. she weighted almost 25 pounds last time she was weighted if that helps

 

[17thy]

Flips and prefolds! lol

 

[10.11.12]

Is there a way to start carrying my 15 month old? I briefly carried her when she was an infant but we never really got into it. I'd like to carry when we go shopping since she usually chooses to walk anyways. I also have a really bad back so I'm not sure how long I can last carrying her. Any suggestions?

 

[17thy]

idk about suggestions for wraps for your bad back, but I will say I didn't start carrying Emerald until 11 months, I tried when she was little and she absolutely hated being confined, but she absolutely loves it now so you can definitely start late.
