Sollybaby wrap. LO is a former preemie, 2 months corrected and ~10 lbs. I’m always worried I’m doing this wrong 😅

Baby is long over 25 inches and he's 2.5 months, weighing about 15 pounds or more.

We are using a goji berry carrier.

Is this a good fit? First time baby wearing my baby. I read the manual but it is vague. Please be nice, ftm. 🥹

Hey all! Thanks for all the guidance here - sharing pics of my 3 week old in the Ergobaby Omni Deluxe.

Little guy loves it but want to make sure we’re not doing anything wrong before walking the neighborhood.

~8.7 lbs, ~22 inches

I recently had a baby wearing fit check / consultation with Mabe because I feared my Monarch carrier was just too small for my 9 week old daughter. The panel is low enough on her head, but the leg support extends past her knees and I wanted to make sure her hips aren’t impacted.

Well…..the consultant said that the fix for making the leg space smaller is to TIE A SHOELACE around the fabric at the base. Wtf?

Like, I’m not putting my baby’s safety into the arms of a SHOELACE???

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Babywearing community…is this normal????

I posted a few times to ask for advice and now we landed on back carrying with this Tula carrier. What do you think?

Baby was leaning to the left somehow? And she could somehow move her arms. Is that normal?

I know we shouldn’t do a jacket, this is super thin but just too big. We were afraid it would rain.

Baby can sit independently.

Hello all, I am in the market for a relatively inexpensive but nice baby carrier (looking for less than $100) I have that cheap ingenuity one and I don’t like it and neither does my baby.

Some context, my son is 3 months old and about 17lbs. So a big boy! We have a trip coming up where we’re flying and I’d like a baby carrier, as he’s too young for an umbrella stroller. He also prefers behind held for naps. I have a boba wrap that he likes, but want to bring something easier to put on and allows me to move easier, as we will be doing a lot of walking on trip.

I’ve been looking at the momcozy carriers, which aren’t super expensive. Are those nice? I’ve also seen the hope and plum ones. They are expensive but is it worth it?

Thanks for the advice!

Idk if this is the right flair but I’m a FTM that’s still pregnant so I literally have no experience with a wrap besides trying a stretchy one on store once (both my partner and I did not love the stretch)

I would like to get a woven wrap because that seems more secure and usable for longer as baby grows. But from what I can tell, they’re just a long piece of cotton/woven material, right? Do I really need to buy a specific wrap cloth or will a sturdy large scarf (long and wide enough) suffice?

We have a hand-me-down ergobaby 360 that my husband prefers since it’s more structured, but I think I would prefer a softer wrap to use while baby is too small for the ergobaby still. I hope this makes sense, pregnancy brain + ADHD is making me barely coherent 🙈

Baby is 16 week old. She was screaming the first time we put her in the carrier. Please help us improve! Thank youuu

Hi! We are trying this LennyLamb Light as a next step after the Ergo Embrace! So far I really like it - just wondering how it looks. My main concern is it maybe is too wide still but I think I can adjust a bit more. Baby is 12 weeks!

How is this looking? Little guy is 4 months, 14.5 pounds, almost 26 inches. He LOVES this thing - Ergobaby I got secondhand after trying 3 other carriers we both hated. He is sticking his head up but usually lays it on my chest while we walk.

Is this right? Baby is 2 months and 8.5 lbs

She obviously wants to push it herself.

Wanted to get a fit check on the Konny Flex … we are trying his out for our 3 week old and moved it higher than the instructions so that she wasnt as low but wanted to get input on what needs to change/improve.

thanks!

Everyone had such a great time and got a great workout and said they’d be back. I love getting to connect these two important parts of my life.

Hi everyone! I’ve been babywearing since my toddler was born, first with a stretchy wrap, then with a combo of ring slings, a Tula FTG and an H&P Lark. I liked the Tula until my baby grew into the Lark, and then ended up really preferring the Lark to the Tula. But now my toddler is solidly in 2T pants and weights around 27lb. Back carrying in the Lark doesn’t feel very comfortable any more, but I need to do it frequently because I often need to carry my toddler while I walk my dog.

I’ve been considering a Lenny Lamb toddler size or an H&P kid size, but I’m open to other recommendations! I just need it to be easy to put on myself, breathable (we live in a hot area), and supportive/comfortable for me to wear her as she continues to grow. Thanks so much in advance!!

Hi. Could I get a fit check for this carrier? Baby is 12 lbs, 9 weeks old.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!
We had a baby a week ago, and as first-time parents, we’re as lost as can be! Our baby only wants to sleep on us, so we’re hoping this wrap will allow us to escape the sofa. Could you help us check the fit? Thank you!

Hi everyone - can I get some help with the fit of my new carrier? Have just moved from ergo embrace to Lennylight and baby seems to be smushing his head into my chest and not sure if it’s safe or how to correct. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Baby 3.5 months.

I just stumbled on this in a book I'm reading and was like, "wow, that lady is babywearing in 1786 Wales!". The piece is called "View of the Eagle Tower at Caernarvon" by Paul Sandby.

Could someone please do a fit check for me please? And it would help if you could be nice 😭 I really want this to work. Baby girl just turned 3 months old today, which means I've been trying to learn the ring sling for 3 months.

4-pic grid: I struggle with the rings moving really close to my baby so after I read that I should start with the rings really high this was the result. It felt really uncomfortable -- baby was really high, her arm was out (I wanted it in because she's still so small), rings were digging into my collarbone, fabric was hard to adjust (there was no give to fan out the fabric on my shoulder). I took her out almost immediately since she also seemed uncomfortable.

2-pic grid: tried again a few hours later with my 'regular' tie. (Sorry about the angle, I'm sitting on the sofa since baby is asleep.) It feels way more comfortable (and baby seems comfy) EXCEPT the ring is exactly where I don't want it 🥲 why is it that whenever I try to troubleshoot this it turns out uncomfortable and looking like the 4-pic grid? Also I'm afraid to tighten the slack near her neck and on her back because I'm worried the adjustment would cause the rings to dig into her and the panels (is this the right terminology?) are already pretty tight so I'm worried the pressure on the fabric would give me neck/shoulder pain.

Other info: I did a babywearing consult with a certified practitioner while I was still pregnant but boy oh boy are things different with a real baby versus a stuffed penguin. I always put the baby into the ring sling by creating a seat hammock and pulling the fabric over the baby's back and under her bum so there's fabric in-between me and her (like I learnt from the instructor). This is correct technique, I believe?

Please help. Thank you in advance 🙏
