I just got this carrier yesterday so it's very new to me. When I first put him in, he was nice and high up with the panel below his ear (folded down... should I do that?) As he fell asleep, he slumped in much too deep as you can see here. How do I tie it so he's supported as he sleeps? I'm clearly doing something wrong.
Thanks!
I have a three month old and moderate to severe scoliosis and am struggling to baby wear. My curved spine gives me a pretty constant back spasm and the left side of my back protrudes quite a bit more than my right. It’s in my thoracic spine/mid back around my lower ribs. I’ve struggled even with wearing pants or belts where the waistband cuts into the spasm. If someone gives me a hug and catches my waist at the right angle, that can also irritate it. Any carrier with a back strap/buckle (basically anything structured) cuts into the spasm and causes a lot of pain. I don’t think it’s a fit issue, as I mentioned I have this problem with other things with waistbands. I also get a lot of tingling/burning pain on my skin when fabric brushes that part of my back from compressed nerves in my spine.
I have a stretchy wrap and that has been working well and doesn’t irritate the spasm, but I want something I can pop baby in and out of more quickly, use on the go without all the wrapping, and that will work a little better as she gets older. She also doesn’t love begin in it awake and wiggles around so I’m constantly adjusting.
Any and all suggestions are much appreciated! Especially from those who have scoliosis and successfully baby wear. My curve is around 40 degrees.
Please help me find the carrier of my husband's dreams.
We have a trip coming up when our baby will be about 4m old. There will be a long day of travel on each end and I want my husband and I to babywear as much as possible. My husband wants to find the softest and most comfortable carrier we can find. He saw a woman wearing a baby in a carrier that looked super soft and molded to the baby but unfortunately has no further details for me. I am looking at the Bjorn harmony and the Wildbird Ariel carriers primarily but please steer me in another direction if there are better options.
My only fit request is that it have a hip strap for lumbar support. I looked at the wiki and am looking into specific fitting but I was just wondering if there were any suggestions for a carrier that will be the most comfortable for everyone. Budget isn't the biggest concern, we just want to find the right one.
Hello! I was gifted this Tula from 2015. I think it’s a Tula Original? It seems different from the ones online. I have the infant insert for it, which I am using now. The instruction book came with it and it states for babies less than 15lb to use the insert, my baby is 11lb6oz (11 weeks).
I just popped babe in quickly for photos, so hopefully this is correctly worn, if it’s unsafe babes is out now, don’t worry!
Thanks for all advice!!
Baby is 6 weeks old, around 4 kgs. Trying out the omni Breeze carrier. Any improvements?
Which lennylamb carrier is best? They have a few styles.
I have a 3 month old. Would like to use for a while. Or do you recommend the Tula instead ? I’m lost
Thank you!!
First time mom, first baby wear! 2 weeks 5 days old, I feel like my straps could be better, I just realized the bottom panel can scoot in just a little bit more so I made that adjustment post-photos. Very excited about this, I blundered a little with a ring sling and the stretchy wrap so this feels more comfortable
Anyone else had an issue with Wildbird carriers leather tag staining the item?
The customer service has been really bad/slow.
I haven’t even used this item yet just washed per the instructions and I am sad about this!
