I know there are a good number of us that wear our babies on here and I have a couple of questions. As our babies are getting older how much do you wear them? I work full time so during the day isn't much of an option except on weekends. I always wear him if we go out to do errands or when I take him for a walk. I also hold him a lot and sometimes wear him in the evenings. I guess I worry about wearing him too much. I want him to have the chance to play with his toys and do cool things like roll over and sit up. He has great head control and loves being in the Moby, but still I worry.

Also for those that have used slings and a Moby, which do you like better and why? I'm considering getting a sling even though the Moby still works great. Sometimes it's a pain to deal with if we are running multiple errands.

I wear Elias basically just when we run errands. I too work during the day, so it's really just weekends. If I need a free hand to do something with Auden I will put him in the Baby Bjorn, but other than that I use a LillieBaby carrier.

I recently bought a ring sling and love it. I use it for errands, taking him to the gym, and pretty much any

I love my ring sling. I wear Bird all the time when we're out and about. We almost never use the stroller, and I almost regret the purchase now that I want a jogging stroller. (Though I admit to bringing the stroller when I wear at th

I love the Moby and DH loves his Baby Bjorn. I don't use it everyday. I use it maybe 4 or 5 times a week for walks and around the house as a napping option for him, or if I need to clean and get things done. I haven't used it running errands yet but I rea

I have a growing collection of wraps. Much to my dh's dismay. I'm a fan of woven wraps because of the weight being distributed on both shoulders lik MSJ. Specifically I like the FCC front cross carry and the kangaroo carry. You can search YouTube for baby

Thanks for the input ladies. Not many people in my area BWs so I don't really have many resources around. I still get lots of strange looks when I wear N around town. Any suggestions for good online places to look for woven wraps and ring slings? No one l

I still haven't quite perfected the ring sling but I got mine online at target it's a Balboa baby by dr. Sears. I do love my K'tan though!

Chiming in late as usual. I used the Moby and K'tan a lot in the early days but now I'm using my Beco Butterfly II pretty much exclusively. I used it a ton with DD#1 too. LOVE that thing.

I used my ring sling once in awhile like when I'm doing s

I have a moby and an ergo.

I use the moby at home and outside when LO1 and I are playing.

I use the ergo for running errands because its quicker and easier.

But I LOOOVE ring slings. So easy. It does start to hurt the one shoulder after awhile, but it's great for shorter periods of time. I also have some chicco carrier that I got at my shower, but I'm not a huge fan of that. SO wanted it really bad so my aunt
