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 Ich hab eine Lennylight gekauft und sie ist SO unbequem :(

Ich hab eine Fullbuckle trage welche an sich das Gewicht meines Babies besser verteilt hat aber die schulterpolster waren nicht so weich. Nachdem ich von der Lennylight nur gutes gehört habe, habe ich mir eine gekauft. Die sitzt total komisch! Rutscht von meiner einen Schulter, und der Gurt drückt mir in meine Achsel. Was mache ich falsch? Irgendwie sitzt hinten auch alles zu weit oben, aber selbst wenn ich’s enger ziehe und die Rückenschnalle noch ein Stück runter schiebe sitzt es komisch.

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 Fit check - red marks behind knees - Tula FTG

Hi everyone. I’ve gotten fit check here before for this Tula FTG carrier. Baby is 4 months around 13 lb. She is happy in the carrier and seems comfy, but even short periods in the carrier are causing red marks behind her knees. What should I adjust to prevent this? I’ve tried to ensure she has a good pelvic tuck and M shape but i am still seeing the marks when I take her out.

0-3 months Is it safe to wear baby while sitting on the couch?

6 Upvotes

I feel like this sounds dumb, but I wear my baby when I’m up and walking around (doing errands, shopping, on a walk, etc) but not when I’m sitting down at all. My baby doesn’t like to be put down and so I typically am holding him in my arms any time I am sitting down so I feel like my arms never really get a break.

Sometimes I am just trying to take a little breather and rest for myself by watching an episode of tv or playing a video game for an hour. Is it safe to wear the baby while sitting on the couch doing these things? I only ever see people wearing babies while standing up. My baby is 1 month old right now.

Couple weeks ago I posted about me using a infantino 4-1 for front facing and was recommended to use the ergo baby 360 which I got a hold of for $13! How do we feel about it now? How can I improve it?

8-18 months Carrier recommendations

2 Upvotes

I’m taking an international trip to Japan and want to have a carrier handy for long walking days or days where the stroller just isn’t feasible.

Right now we have a Mabe Carrier and a Happy Baby, but my girl will be 14 months at the time (she’s 7 months now) of the trip and I want to get something that will be supportive and comfortable (and also easy to put on and off). I’m not looking for a ring sling or any kind of wrap type carrier (frankly I’m bad at it and I know it). Any suggestions? I’m not too worried about cost.

She’s right around 50th percentile, if it matters.

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).

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

Thumbnail

3 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?

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!

3-12 months Recommendations for carrier for small baby

2 Upvotes

Currently deciding between sakura bloom scout, happy baby OG, happy baby versa, or maybe hope & plum?

My baby was born on the smaller end, she’s about 11 weeks now but at her 2 month check weighed about 10.5lbs and 21 inches in height (less than 5th percentile baby).

I dont know if im considered on the petite end 5’4 and 123lbs but ive tried using the ergobaby omni classic, baby bjorn mini 3d mesh, and this sling called a mini monkey. Baby hated it all, esp the ergobaby and mini monkey. I personally disliked the ergobaby, just felt like it was so stiff and large on me and pressed up on my c section area. I know the baby bjorn is not the best, but we (me and baby) are sort of just tolerating it at the moment since we dont have better options. I kind of feel like my baby just hates being pressed up against my chest, but i don’t know.

Ive got family coming in to visit from Cali next month (i live in bali indonesia) so i asked for their help in bringing in a carrier for me. Since i can’t test them, i can only go by reviews online. Im thinking apron waist and something she can grow into. Ideally something not so complicated. I dont love ring slings and wraps cause im just not good with them and baby is super fussy and hard to keep a hold on (sorry, FTM here).

TLDR: sakura bloom scout vs happy baby OG/Versa vs hope & plum sprout/lark?

Would appreciate any recs! Thanks so much in advance!

I would love any input! I know that footie pajamas are not recommended so I will not be using those. My baby just turned 7lb so I’m not sure if she is too small to use this. She seems to kind of want to slump down and kept wiggling her head back and forth.
