I have a new addiction.

Five Months to Plan

Ahh Babywearing. I had none when DD was born. I then got a Moby at the convincing of my mom. We had a Bjorn which is actually my least fav (she used it for the shortest period of time). We got an Ergo and Kokopax backpack. I really really though want a ring sling. I think it would be so much easier to use quickly by myself especially when DD start moving around. DH says to wait and see if we need but, he trusts my judgement. Ahh do I get it or not?

i LOVE my maya ring sling!  i also have an ergo, which i like a lot as well.  i have a moby, but used that more when O was tiny.

but back to the ring sling .....

its super easy to get O in and out of.  

its awesome at the airport.

it covers you nicely if youd want to nurse in public or provide a little shade for a napping babe.

it was the ONLY place O would nap when he had colic.  he would sit in the kangaroo position and conk out.

now, he is usually in the hip position...but he also sometimes still likes to curl up in kangaroo.

my husband also loves to use it.

I ordered one. I already had it in my cart. I had been wanting one for a month or so. DD is in that "I only want Mommy stage" and many many times is reaching for me. Do not get me wrong, I love that, but I just think this will really help. Here is hoping. DH loved the Moby wrap, I hope he likes this too. Her actually used the Moby more and me. lol

Thank you for the offer. I already ordered one. I guess I did not need talking into it.

Do the ergo on your hip!! It's awesome.

How do you do this?  I don't think I utilize my ergo to the fullest.  So far I've only worn him in the front carry position.

The Maya is my absolute favorite!  I have a few carriers and for long trips or planned baby wearing I'll grab  the Ergo but I always have my Maya with me for times when he gets tired of the stroller or shopping cart.  It's so simple and fantastic for travel, especially if you're by yourself and have to go through security.

I'll have to watch the Ergo hip carry video - we've used the hip carry a few times, thinking that B would be able to see things better since the Ergo doesn't do an outfacing front carry.  But he doesn't seem comfortable in the hip carry so I've wondered if we're doing it wrong somehow.

You might be doing something a little off.  The hip carry is JUST like carrying LO on your hip without a carrier, if he's comfy then, he'll be comfy in the Ergo.  I posted a video a couple of posts up (::Kellogg:: Ergo Hip Carry) that should help.  There's also a response in the same thread with some more tips.  =-)

You tube it. There are a bunch of videos that show you how. We just started doing it since the forward facing Maclaren was getting uncomfortable with my giant baby, and I love it!

I LOVE my RS. I use it in airports, grocery shopping, at the farmers market, to take the dog potty, if R is cranky, or any other short period of time. I also have a woven wrap to put him on my back for longer periods of time.
