The cloth diaper discussion got me thinking about babywearing. Any FTMs thinking about it? Or if you are a STM+ did you wear with your other babies? I just had a k'tan and an Ergo with my first baby. But got into wrapping with woven wraps, ring slings and Tulas with my second baby. I still wear my 2.5 yr old in the Tula (on my back) on shopping trips and she loves it. I love to convert people to babywearing and I'm so excited to get to wear a snuggly newborn again!

Re: Babywearing
PCOS, Hypothyroidism.
Miscarriage at 8 weeks
First saw at 6w4d
It's a boy!
I'm interested in a wrap for this LO to wear around the house during those early months. It's too damn hot outside in central FL to babywear anytime other than winter (my personal preference anyway...)

My lactation consultant also put me in contact with a group on wearing. I got to try different ones.

Baby #4 due 9.2018
ETA: @JennM205 --I'm planning on a lightweight stretchy (like a solly wrap or a happy baby wrap) for the beginning, along with a ring sling. The stretchy will only be good for while baby is little, but I use my ring slings with my 30 lb 21 mo old all the time.
Luckily, my friend's sister is big into babywearing (and has three little ones of her own that she's worn from birth on), so I'm sure she'll be able to guide me in the right direction if I ask her.

● Natural #1: BFP - M/C @ 8 weeks
● Natural #2: BFP - M/C @ 5w5d
For the ftm's don't get sucked into a stretchy wrap!! Your kid will be sagging out by 15 lbs!!! Also, do research on ergonomic carriers. There are lots of popular carriers out there that cost a mint like baby Bjorns but they are not comfortable for mom or baby and they do not support baby's hips properly!!!!
Not sure how well it shows in te pic but this is my gauze wrap.
The in-laws and I are planning a trip to NYC for thanksgiving so baby wearing will definitely be the way to go on that trip. I really want one of those kangaroo hoodies that have an opening for the baby's head!
Which brands would you lovely mamas recommend?
