I've never posted here before, so hi! I have a 5 week old daughter and a baby ktan.
My daughter can have gas issues at times and I'm wondering if this seems like it would be contributing to why she freaks out at times when I put her in the ktan; other times she's fine. Maybe it's the pressure of her tummy on mine? If this doesn't seem like it would cause the fussiness, is there anything I can do to help her be more comfortable with being worn more often?
Also, initially when i bought the ktan I bought one size and although I could get my daughter in and she could breathe fine, it was incredibly tight and impossible to sit down with it on as it would cut into me and squeeze the sh.it out of her. So if I washed it there was no way I could get my very chunky daughter and chunky self into it. So I went up a size and washed it. It feels much better, snug but not tight but at times it does feel a tad loose almost like when you've worn a tshirt too much and now it's stretched. Does this sound normal like it just needs to ve washed again to shrink it back up? Any suggestions on the fit?
Thanks for reading and sorry it ended up so long!

Are you wearing her legs in or out? If in, I would definitely put her legs out. Wearing does put a little p
