2. Do you have any wraps/ slings/ carriers that you have your eye on?
3. Will you practice other APish parenting tactics?

Re: Baby wearing Poll
1. yes
2. anything but the baby bjorn.
3. i am not sure ap is for us. my baby will not be sleeping in bed with me and i do work so there is no way i can have it strapped tome 24/7. that being said i don't know that much about ap so i def have not made any definitive decisions.
1. Yes, I am pretty sure I will. Partly for the convenience and partly for the comfort/ attachment reasons for baby.
2. Yep! I will probably get a Moby and a Baby Hawk. Maybe something else too - who knows!
3. I am researching as I agree with some aspects of this parenting style. But, I ultimately think my DH and I will use a conglomerate style that we discover via trial and error. I think it is important to morph a style to best fit your family's needs rather than morph your family into a published style.
1. We'll try it out
2. No
3. Not really
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
2. Do you have any wraps/ slings/ carriers that you have your eye on? Not really, anything comfy and relatively easy to use
3. Will you practice other APish parenting tactics? I don't know, I'm not too familiar with this idea. I know that the baby will sleep in our room for a couple of months but I am not opposed to CIO or anything like that.
Me: PCOS/Amenorrhea DH: Azoospermia due to Y Chromosome Micro Deletion IVF w/ ICSI on hold until further notice
Hope

1. Do you think you will baby wear? I will definitely try, I'm hoping it's something both baby and me love.
2. Do you have any wraps/ slings/ carriers that you have your eye on? I stopped looking for baby items after my mc and dx high FSH. I felt like I jinxed my chances.
3. Will you practice other APish parenting tactics? I don't know much about it but I'll work full time so unless I can bring baby with me I don't think that will work for us.
1. Do you think you will baby wear? yes
2. Do you have any wraps/ slings/ carriers that you have your eye on? moby and a hotsling
3. Will you practice other APish parenting tactics? maybe a few, I haven't decided about the whole CIO thing yet, but I don't think we will co-sleep or bed share. I am just not comfortable with that. However, I don't think you can really make any of these decisions 100% until you actually have a baby and see how it works for your family.
1. Do you think you will baby wear? Yes
2. Do you have any wraps/ slings/ carriers that you have your eye on? I do, I don't know the names, but I prefer the ones that look more like fabric knotted to hold in place
3. Will you practice other APish parenting tactics? Probably not, I don't think AP is my or my husband's style; but, who knows, maybe things would change.
1. yes
2. eh, not yet. that's too concrete for me. :-)
3. probably? i guess it depends... i like the concept though, so i'm willing to try different things out.
Because we're fancy like that.
1. Most likely. I can't even imagine, say, going to the grocery store and NOT wearing the baby. Plus I like the convenience factor in general and not having to haul around more big items. And it's nice to be that close.
2. Hm, not sure. I don't think I'm a huge fan of the bjorn. I think I like the slings.
3. I dunno... mostly it doesn't seem to me. We may have a cosleeper/sidecar crib at first, due to limited space and convenience. But I can't imagine actually having the baby IN the bed with us.
