HotI - Noice one DS. Pity he can't use his cleverness to be kind to his mama.
Teni - Oh no. None of your other options could possibly compare to snowy.
TT - Yay, will have to jump on and check the pics out. ETA: That is amazing! Can't wait to see an action shot.
Loulabelle - I couldn't get DH until I saw the L-pull. It's the tightening while standing up that does the trick. If I try to tighten the chest pass while bending over it will never be as tight as I can get it while upright.
Does anyone have tips to get Amelia to like being wrapped more? She screams and tries to run away when I start preparing her to be up on my back, then squirms once she's up there and I'm completing the wrap. When it's all finished she's usually fine and happy, but those initial steps are so difficult! Wrapping in public is a mess because it looks and sounds like I'm torturing the poor kid - we're not a great advertisement for babywearing :lol:
She never really had this trouble with the other carriers unless she was already cranky...
----------------------------------
So, it has come to this.
Try doing it in front of a mirror, Teni. Seems to amuse DD2!
you may be able to distract her with something. maybe also try practising with a toy or something so you get quicker. My DD still complains about being wrapped and there are times when it just isn't going to happen. She's also fine once it's done.
It arrived!! *squee* so comfy, and came complete with sleepy dust =) here is a photo of me and my cheeky girl, there are more on my fb if you are interested =) 2874
Awesome! Glad you're happy with it. Great picture
TT40 - Beautiful!! Can you PM me your FB details? I can add you to DS's page too if you want :)
Does anyone have a RS recommendation? I have been recommended Maya but I saw an ellaroo I like. I only want to pay $80 though and it's $110!!
Very nice TT
Love it TT!
BAL - Are the Maya ones padded? I haven't tried one but have heard that the padding can make it more difficult to adjust. Go with what you like. I love my WCRSS.
well i wore it (and DD) for hours today while we were shopping and so comfy!!
...now im eyeing off the natibaby (i think) milky way wrap as my size 4.. it wont be til Nov. but trying to talk myself out of it csuse i have my hb now... are that brand thin? cause it would have to be for summer

so since getting (and showing off) my wchb, i have had a few comments about how it is wrong of me to use DD as a fashion accessory! now i am and have never been into fashion at all! but seriously bw has so many benefits for her and me so why should i get a carrier that not only is really comfy but that looks awesome too! grrrr makes me angry cause i know we look awesome but that is a good thing jerks!
if they have kids, they'd better be sure to dress them in hessian sacks, then.
apparently its a combo of tge carrier and her mcns...*shakes head* yea i so just do it to be cool...forget the bonding and comfort and health benefits and practicality!
TT40 - WTF?? That's the most bizzare thing I've heard in ages!! What tossers lol.
That just made me so mad!!!! Baby wearing is as old as having babies, for bonding and convenience how do these people think woman coped before over priced over accessorized prams were invented lol seriously!!! I saw your link to a pic of you wearing her and you both looked happy and that's what is important. Bonus if you also look cute and cool!
TT, just brush it off if you already haven't because they're just twats. (Am I allowed to say twats?) Haters gone' hate :p
Reorganised my carriers last night. They're now in a plastic set of drawers/tubs next to the front door, in descending order of how often I'm using them lately :rofl: My La Pouche a Kangourou and/or seledang should be arriving today, hurry up Mr Postie!
Yea I'm over it Teni =) In fact I've decided to take it as a compliment and am now strutting my stuff! we were at the markets yesterday, and I got myself a pair of arm warmers, something I have wanted for ages but could never find any (I dont even know if I just made them up years ago when I started looking). anyway, so I put them on and i'm rocking DD and my arm warmers and DH laughs and goes "you look like such a dag with those" and I go, " yea? But an AWESOME! dag" =) They are all just jealous!
how many do you have Teni? enough that they are in tubs?!?! I cant call myself a true BW...with my 1xWCHB, 1xWoven, (the only 2 I use, and I havent used my wrap wince my HB came), and then a RS and 2 stretchies that I NEVER use.
Thats true Joeve ~ plus people see how much a woven is and how much it cost for my HB and go "wow its nice to have heaps of money", well I dont, but prams cost that if not more if I was to get a pram with features. I just chose to spend my money on a carrier instead of a pram.
Okay, as it stands at the moment, I have:
- Two wovens
- One seledang - is that counted as a woven? I really have no idea what they are. And is it seledang or selendang? :lol:
- One Manduca
- Two ring slings
- Two Hug A Bubs
And an Ergo that's being sent off sometime this week that I already regret putting on eBay in the first place :rofl:
ETA - Yaaay, my LPaK and seledang are here!! Oh so pretty :D Pics coming soon when Amelia finishes her nap :)
Okay, I've no idea how to use this selendang (looked it up lol)
I have her tied on my back but I just know she's going to be able to fall out easily :lol:
It looks exactly like one of my ring slings! Only it's purple instead of blue.
What kind of carry are you doing with the selendang? I've never used one, but they're basically just thin shorties, no?
I have 6 wraps, 2 mei tais and an ergo. Hardly anything!
I tied her on my back. I don't think there's any proper name for it :rofl: It was literally just around her, and tied on top of my boobs :p Very uncomfortable after a few minutes, lucky we were just waking down the road.
ah. rudimentary torso carry, I guess?
you could try a rebozo - so over one shoulder, under the other.
Oooh, my Afryka is here! Well, it's in the state, I need to go collect it on Thursday at the next meet :)
So that makes 4 wraps, a mt, a fb and a rs. I might buy one more wrap as I've decided I want a 7 and am thinking about selling DH's beco to buy him an ssc with solarveil
I was going for that initially, but couldn't work it out :lol: I'll learn, I just need to find some decent tutes :):
I bought a RS, it gets posted today.. I'd be a bit more excited, but one came up for sale yesterday that I LOVE the look of!!! I wish I could buy that instead!! I can't justify buying 2..
Oooh I'm in love! Been playing a fair bit with my new Afryka, after a wash and iron it's softening up so nicely and is so rock solid supportive -https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...2&d=1348268492 Here is a pic :)
I also kinda maybe slipped and fell off the wagon - bought a Jim Salvia last night for our summer long wrap and have DH convinced I'm allowed to buy a Bara barn shorty too ;)
Hi girls.... I was going to start a separate thread but thought I may as well ask in here as I'm likely to get the answers I need this way instead. Anyway what I'm curious about is baby wearing with an ergo while pregnant! How ling is it okay/comfortable to do? Obviously being only 7wks atm ill be able to for a little while yet but kinda dreading having to do the whole pram thing all the time again.
You can wear as long as youre comfy. I prefer tie waists in pregnancy so you can tie above or below the bump with ease but as long as your comfy you can wear all pregnancy!
Wearing Amelia, and looking at photos of other mamas babywearing, is making me a LOT cluckier than I would like to be :lol: I know I said it earlier in the thread, but I just thought you'd all like to know ;)
Ooh, I didn't say in here - I managed to preorder the Nati Milky Way :) I wasn't going to be able to pay until a few days after the closing date but I emailed and the vendor said as long as she had my order I could pay a few days late :) I've left myself a little short on money until next Wednesday, but it's worth it :rofl:
Anyone on my FB will understand why I'm doing this... :wall: GOOO AWAAAAAAY!
frustrating isnt it. =)
oh dear :(
Got a new wrap today but I'm not sold on the colour. oh well. :)m
What did you get?
The Heartiness cinnamon rose. The pic i saw looked more pink, but it's more brown cinnamon.
Sounds nice - maybe it'll grow on you? Is it a comfy wrap?
OH i suspect it'll be lovely to wrap with after a wash to soften it up.... but dont' want to wrap with it again :) It's really not my colour
Mmmm, I'd try sell it on in that case. Though not to me, I'm rather firmly back on the wagon :)
Ahh!! Im in a desperate search for a violet/White indio and I cant seem to find one anywhere!!
It is very pretty and has DDs name it. I want to make it her legacy wrap!
I got fluffy mail last weekend but haven't had time to play with it. Any tips for breaking in natibaby linens? It already seems surprisingly soft after a wash (was a bit scared when I first got it out of the box and it felt like a nylon curtain!)
