K'tan sizing

MeaganG11 · December 2012

I ordered a Baby K'tan based on my pre-pregnancy dress size (like it says), and washed it when I got it. I'm practicing putting it on today and it seems...extremely snug. I went to the website, and watched the sizing tips video, and everything matches up (falls at/slightly below chest, fits like a snug t-shirt, a few inches of space between me and the "straps"), but it just feels like it's going to be uncomfortably tight once I add a newborn into it - I feel like he's going to feel pretty squished (along with my boobs, maybe). Not sure if me being 38 weeks pregnant is affecting the "feel" or not. I'm afraid to try the next size up for fear that that may be too loose. Any words of wisdom from experienced mamas?

You want it super snug! You'll be surprised how much it stretches with a baby in it (to get an idea, try a sack of flour or sugar). Baby needs to be held high and tight on your body to prevent slumping (slumping is what causes airway problems).

Not to jack this thread, but... if you are between two sizes, would you recommend going with the smaller size then? (I'm prepregnancy a dress size 8-10, which puts me between the small and medium, so I'm not sure which size to get.)

I'm in the 8-10 range too and I went with medium.

Yup - I'd size down!
