My Turn... Looking at newborn baby wearing options...

[feeb]

hmmm excuse my ignorance but is this a tie up wrap style??

I have a baba sling and ergo.

once DS was about 4 months old baba sling hurt my neck and couldnt use for long periods. Ergo i love but didnt like with a newborn as never looked comfy with insert, so will be looking for another carrier for same reason baby and 18 month old to run after.

I loved my Peanut Shell!!!! I had 2! A microfleece one and a cotton one for the warmer months. They come in really funky designs too!

had pouch and ergo with insert and found we needed to get a meitai wrap too, it was such a great purchase as the other ones just didnt work right for us till bub got bigger. I found it easier to put on the meitai than the pouch!
there are mei tais made from lightweight material and have clips (like the ergo) rather than tieing.

Feeb - Did you watch that BBC show Bringing up Baby, it is the one from that... Cotton wrap style, but with a buckle... Very cool. I am so close to getting one... Just wanted to get some last opinions on the subject before I finalise my decision...

I love the thought of a mei tie, but as I have the ergo I am not sure if I really can justify one..

And I have tried a pouch, but it wasn't the best for long periods for my back...

See how unsure I am here...

Do you live near anyone babe, so you can try one?????

[rufalina]

Yeah, I have Kitt3n on hand to try the close out, but with a belly growing, and a toddler that doesnt breastfeed, I am not sure that trying it is going to do anything to help me out. I have seen her use the close and it does look sensational...

[Pretty Butterfly]

It is babe, it is!!!!!

Maybe wait till bub arrives, and put bubba in Kitt3ns??

My cousin came over with her newborn the other day, used mine, and bought one off me on the spot!!! She already had a couple of other types, but fell in love first use!!!

i have the ellaroo ring sling. it has been the best investment. used it from day dot, pretty much all day everyday for the last 2 years and it has NO signs of wear or tear. i like that it can be folded up and shoved into handbags, can be used as an emergency nappy mat and also as a blankie for when you are on a plane and the air-con goes bonkers...

love it!

[Jellyfish]

I have a close carrier and use it everyday! Absolutely love it.

[Kitt3n]

ruff hun - borrow one of mine for a little while when bub arrives, and if you like it (i know you will ) then grab your own. I really dont mind lending it to you, i just dont want to sell them as i hope to have more bubbas! (and they are still in perfect condition to re sell even after 6 months of constant use)

but.....

some of the stores have the colous that i have realy quite cheaply at the moment as they have discontinued those colours (man i must have bad taste hey? the two I HAVE get culled!) so it might be worth biting the bullet

but.... i have cabbage patch dolls - you can try one with a doll even with a belly LOL!!
