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
She never really had this trouble with the other carriers unless she was already cranky...
----------------------------------
So, it has come to this.
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 =)20120905_123528(0).jpg
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!
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!
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
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 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?
- 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
ETA - Yaaay, my LPaK and seledang are here!! Oh so pretty Pics coming soon when Amelia finishes her nap
