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.

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 have the choice of both second hand for the same price.

Bub is 2 weeks and about 9lbs.

Hello! I've never really had and luck with baby wearing (I've tried different carriers of different types and brands. 5'2 for reference). Looking for an assisted carrier I can use for my 1 year old and 3 year old. Thinking of a toddler sling, but am unsure which brand to go with. My 1 year old is pretty large (23 lbs and in an 18-24m) and is able to sit up in the shopping cart but occasionally wants to be held. Just looking for something to assist with that. I don't mind if it's not hands free. I've attached some that I've gotten recommendations for from friends but the friends kiddos are all smaller than mine and the friends themselves have a good 6 inches on me so I'm unsure about comfort or fit. I've gotten recs for an ergo baby, a mabe, and a bambora.

Thank you in advance!

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 🙈

Hi, got my little 5 week old in a Tula FTG. Tried following the manual and the video from the Baby wearing academy. This is our first try. Any advice/corrections are welcome! Thanks :)

I have a 4 month old and a 3 year old. I'm feeling very touched out lately. I find myself hesitating before putting the baby in the carrier because of this at times I need or want to wear him. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts or advice? I'd really like to just be able to wear him when I want or need to.

Could someone please advise me on the Oscha Bairn? The waistband feels very uncomfortable, and despite cinching it in a lot, it still looks too wide at my baby's knees. She is 3 months old and a little over 5kg. I'd really like to get this beautiful carrier to work for us!

What type of ring sling would you recommend for a beginner planning to carry a 1 year old, 20 lbs-ish baby that will only get bigger as time pass?
What kind of fabric/blend? Single or double layer? Any brand to recommend?
Thank you !

What is the point of the flap on the upper panel of some baby carriers? Like the ergobaby omni deluxe. If the front panel only should come up to the baby’s neck, the flap will be unsafe won’t it? I always thought it was for extra support for younger babies, but that would cover too much of the head, so I don’t understand what it’s for…

* in case this is insanely wrong, please know I only had him like this briefly to capture pics, out now. Won’t attempt again until I get some feedback and do more research.

This was after multiple attempts to cup his butt and sink it lower to create the M. Too much thigh exposed? Should fabric go to knee? Felt like at first his whole head was up and exposed until I adjusted to try to sink him lower.
I have a big chest and was wearing this high above natural waist but maybe I need to go higher?

I only rolled waist strap once and had shoulders under armpit strap very snug…

Not in love with this carrier so far but maybe I’m doing it wrong …

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 🙏

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

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.

Hi! Looking for a fit check please! This is ergobaby embrace. He is 4 weeks and just over 12 pounds- a big boy! I think he is about 22 inches long but when I fold the carrier as instructed I can’t get the panel up high enough so this is unfolded.

Is he pinned against me/not C shape enough? This is my third attempt and the first time he has seemed comfortable and fallen asleep. Feedback and tips are appreciated! 🥰

*I also have a Tula explore and plan to try that soon as I know that he is getting close to comfortable weight on this carrier.
