Hi everyone 😊
Can someone help me check the fit?
Carrier is Isara Elite, baby is 3mo, 6.3kg. Since the baby reached 62cm, I’ve just moved the Velcro to position 2 - I felt like she was sitting to high on position 1. So I just wanted some advice whether the position looks good and the panel is ok adjusted.
PS. We are in the “let me eat my hands phase”, so it’s almost impossible to get the arms to stay along the body.
Hi community 💕
I’m not even sure what exactly I’m looking for here, maybe just some validation and hopefully a bit of relatability.
My baby is 3 months old, exclusively breastfed, and we’ve bed shared since day 1. She has never accepted a crib, bassinet, nothing. All naps are contact naps, usually in the carrier, either with me or her dad (Rip my back 💀).
At night, we go to bed together and I basically never leave her side. Yesterday, for the first time, I tried ninja rolling away after she had been asleep for about an hour. She woke up 10 minutes later, mildly crying, and I instantly felt awful, like I had betrayed her just for trying to sneak away for a bit.
The truth is, between contact naps and going to bed together, we have absolutely no time for ourselves as a couple. No intimacy, no sitting together watching TV, nothing. And at the same time, the idea of leaving her for even an hour fills me with guilt.
Has anyone else experienced this mix of emotions? Wanting a tiny bit of time to yourself, but also feeling consumed by guilt for even trying? Having a baby that only naps in the carrier and wakes shortly after you leave anyways?
Sometimes I feel like the alien parent in my parents group. The only one showing up without a pram, the one bed sharing, the one always baby wearing. I guess I’m just looking for reassurance that I’m not alone in this and perhaps some tips on how to balance this better.
Thanks if you read this far 💕
