Baby Wearing General Chatter #2

[Cranky Kitten]

My rainbow is in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So CAN"T WAIT for it's arrival

ETA: I just stalked the tracking number and it says "Accepted from customer" WTF?

Just means it's been posted. If it said "delivered" then there'd be a WTF moment.

I hear you on being clucky Teni - I'm majorly clucky as well, have been for a while. So much so my body is playing tricks on me and making me think I might be but the sticks are still coming up negative. Bah.

Sigh. Waiting sucks. I want my Afryka!

[HotI]

DS has only the rare chuck now (and shouldn't mess your beautiful wraps), so you are welcome to borrow him to practise in case you get quads.

[TeniBear]

Okay, I am waaaaaaay too clucky right now. I wanted to practise some carries, but Amelia was asleep so I used my Cabbage Patch Doll again... And ended up looking for newborn-friendly carries. Some I can use with her, like the FWCC (look, my first carry abbreviation!), but it's just left me wanting #3 to come right NOW! Anyone have a newbie I can borrow?

Have mine too teni although he's 6 months now so not quite newborn. Hope Amelia is feeling better.

Madb, I've been trying with a linen blend and I think thats my problem. A little to thick and crunchy to learn with? I got fluffy mail yesterday (see below) completely broken in and soft hemp lilies. I did manage a dh although it was still a little floppy, I do think I'll be able to get it with a little practice.

Yay, now with two almost-newbies I can practise tandem carries - and I can rotate the newbs out if I want to throw Amelia in! You guys rule

Nicnac - try searching for Kanga Collective or The Babywearer. Both sites have forums with heaps of info.

[NicNac]

Thanks so much- they both sound like some good places to start researching.

Gorgeous BAL! And Jett seems very happy with it too.

Yesterday I was walking with DD2 on my back when I felt her turn her head and then it sounded like i'd dropped something. I turned around to see a puddle on the ground Seems DD has learned to chuck to the side so neither of us gets covered

[~TT40~]

What a clever girl Tuesday!

and that looks so beautiful and comfy BAL

[HotI]

That is awesome TC, DS turns towards me to chuck, today he opened my cardy and then chucked so it hit my singlet and the inside of my cardy. noice.

[buffy1]

Looks gorgeous BAL

[loulabelle]

Lovely BAL!

I haven't had much back spew thankfully. I do seem to get cleavage spew every time I front carry though.

This DH is driving me mad! No matter how tight I pull it when wrapping, the top chest rail always ends up loose and then I get pressure on my shoulders.. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as it seems tight when I'm doing it.

[onthefly]

how are you tightening Loulabelle? I find pixie curl's tute really helpful - she tightens across the rail and then does the L Pull.... there's another one where another wrapper shows how to keep it tight from the start, but that look harder to me

[TeniBear]

Waaahhhhhh, DH accidentally took "Snowy" to work with him and now I can't go for a walk like I want to!

(...Or, I can just use the Ergo. Or one of the ring slings. Or a stroller...)

So, it has come to this.

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.
