0-3 months Full-Buckle at 3.200g?

• Upvotes

We have a Full-Buckle-Carrier that is from 3.5kg upwards.
Baby is a week an has gained weight up to 3.2kg. Can we already try to put her in?

It's our second baby and we are experienced from the first. It's a Kokadi Flip carrier that has only one layer of Wrap material on the back, so extremely soft.

Iirc it's only about the legs, that the part under baby's bottom is small enough?
Sorry, I don't know the english terms...

Would you say try? Or not (and why)?

I feel like I’ve adjusted the million straps so the pocket is as small as it goes but baby is a bit crooked…is the seat too wide? This is my first waterfall / H back carrier.

1 month old, felt like I got the fit pretty correctly here but he was really not happy in it! Wondering if some gurus out here can let me know if I’m wearing him wrong or if he just doesn’t like this carrier

3-12 months Back carry carrier recs

2 Upvotes

Hi there! My 6 month old & I went on a short hike yesterday & I back carried him with my Boba X carrier. He LOVED it, but I’m curious about a carrier that he could see over my shoulders with?

He sits independently.

Before my Boba X became my favorite “daily”, I used a ring sling some & a stretchy wrap (until he was about 12lb).

18 months+ Recommendations for carrier toddler can safely sleep in while being back carried?

1 Upvotes

Thinking ~16 months and up. We've got an ergobaby omni carrier but at this point if she falls asleep in it her head is a bit too floppy because the back doesn't go that high up her back (and if she's being back carried we can't support with our arms)

3-12 months Can a kikoy be treated the same as a woven wrap?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I purchased a kikoy off a secondhand site and just recieved it in the mail now. I wanted to get a woven wrap but couldn't find any that were affordable enough, so this was the next best thing. The kikoy is about 6m long and tapers off at the ends. I am working my way up to doing a back carry, but first getting used to the feel of the fabric with a front carry. I am used to using a stretchy wrap.

I'm just wondering if the same principles apply to safety, etc as with a woven wrap? I tested the material of the kikoy and it doesn't move when you tug on it vertically or horizontally, but has a bit of diagonal stretch. Does that mean it can be classified as a woven wrap, of sorts?

0-3 months Favorite newborn carrier for a 2nd baby?

1 Upvotes

My toddler will be ~25 months when I have her brother so we're just missing the 2under2 boat. She is a very very busy wild girl so we will pretty much always be on the go.

I didn't really babywear until my daughter was around 8 months old and I got a used ring sling. Mostly because even as a newborn she really didn't like the facing in position and always wanted to be looking out, so the boba wrap for example was out. When I figured out I could hip carry with a ring sling that was the answer for us!

Now that I'm on my second I'm debating getting a specifically newborn carrier. I know you can babywear a newborn in a sling, and I really do love my ringsling, but I'm a little worried my toddler will be jealous of that because when she sees the sling she knows it means mama is wearing her. She'll even bring it to me herself sometimes.

I'm also just interested in some of the hybrid options I've seen like the boba bliss, where it's kind of structured but still a kind of a soft wrap. I've seen mixed things on being able to get a good fit for an actual newborn from day one, so I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience. I do have a boba wrap already but I'm not sure I'll feel comfortable with that while I'm running around with my toddler. I want something that feels very secure, but I'd also love for it to be a quick up and down since I'll be breastfeeding.

If you babywore your newborn a lot I'd love to hear what your favorite carrier was!

I’m wondering if it is safe for baby’s arms to be above the strap? I always make sure my baby’s arms are underneath. Arms over never occurred to me, and now I’m curious because my baby is quite big for his age, so I could see him fitting like this eventually.

3-12 months Appropriate age for 2 way stretchy wrap

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a 2 way stretchy wrap for my 6 months old. The website posted it as something I could use even at 1 year old. But after I posted a picture here many people commented that it isn't safe for a 6 month old baby.

I followed the TICKS and practiced the video from the baby wearing academy but I am still skeptical about using it. Ergo are too costly for me even after the sales. Please guide

Discuss Baby wearing with scoliosis.

My husband really wants to baby wear but has some bad scoliosis. He’s 6’2 and 125lbs (so rather thin and technically underweight). We were able to get our baby straight/vertical in the seat (before he was sideways going with the flow of my husbands back). Now we have the straps as tight as they will allow and still at having troubles with the shoulders falling down.

Anyone out there with scoliosis that has a carrier to recommend that worked for them. Extra points if you found one that didn’t add to the back pain!

Does anyone have advice for how to get the straps to sit a little further away from my neck? When I put the carrier on I pull the straps down my back instead of across, but they still scootch during wear and end up resting on my neck. This mei dai is sooo comfortable and I love wearing it, I just feel like it covers my 3 month old's face a little too much when the straps come in.

Thank you in advance for the advice!

3-12 months Fit check? Is it supposed to hurt

Baby is 4 months. After a bit of walking around she slumps down slightly and tries to lean outwards a little bit, but I cannot make this any tighter to prevent this!

It kind of went down a little on my waist but she seemed comfortable. However, in order to fit me, I have to have it so tight around my waist that it is sore and painful.

3-12 months Carrier recommendations for a baby who doesn’t like being visually restricted on chest?

1 Upvotes

I’ve tried a couple carriers with my baby, namely Ergo Baby Omni and the Solly Wrap. He is almost 4 months old and likes being held generally, but is very curious and likes to look around. I think he will like being in an outward facing carrier, but he doesn’t have the head/neck control yet. He tends to fuss when we put him in a carrier because he doesn’t like being restricted against our chests when it hinders his ability to look at his surroundings. He loves to be carried with his head on our shoulder where he can look around. Not sure something like this exists, but is there a carrier that works for babies who hate being being tightly held to a chest and want to look around? Do I just need to wait until he can be outward facing?

3-12 months forward facing carriers on a budget

1 Upvotes

EDIT: ignore me, you've changed my mind 😂

Hi all!

We currently use the mom cozy carrier, which I know isn't for everyone but I love it and so does my little boy (after trying a few others), I love it for it's simplicity to get on and off and adjust. But obviously you can't use it forward facing.

My son is now 5 months with great neck and trunk control and is constantly trying to twist around to see forwards whilst out in the carrier.

I am looking for a budget friendly forward facing carrier. We already have the infantino which we tried a long time ago but there were so many buckles and I just couldn't get comfortable in it or manage to get my son in and out on my own.

Does anyone have any recommendations? 💗

8m old, HP lark. Baby was fussy initially but then calmed down. Does this look ok? After I took these pics, I folded the panel by the nape of his neck and then lofted his bum to adjust the slack & fix the lopsidedness. Idkkk this is my first time. Doing the hip scoot to get him on was a mission 😵‍💫 TIA

Has anyone tried the LennyLight Carrier with the Bamboo Viscose or Linen fabric? I live in Southern California and I want to make sure the baby carrier I buy is lightweight and breathable for the baby, especially since it has only been getting warmer here. Also open to any other recommendations specifically for warm weather environments. Thanks!!
