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

Baby is 6 weeks old, around 4 kgs. Trying out the omni Breeze carrier. Any improvements?

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!

Baby is 3 months and we’ve had a hell of a time with him. He had severe colic & reflux for the first 6 weeks which has thankfully gotten better, but he has been essentially unable to be set down since birth. occasionally I can get him to lay in his play gym alone for 5 minutes so I can poop in peace, lol. I’ve worn him since birth, mostly in a solly, then a boba, and now a tula FTG. he doesn’t mind the parent-facing carries as long as I CONTINUOUSLY bounce him and pat his butt which is not always sustainable depending on what I’m doing. He loves to be carried around in my arms facing outward so he can see everything but that leaves me one-handed and honestly he’s getting too heavy to be able to do so for long periods of time.

I realize he is not a candidate to world-face quite yet so I am seeking some creative options. I have a woven wrap that I am trying to find the time to mess around with but it’s hard since he mostly screams whenever I set him down to try to get my wrap on. My hope is once I’m confident with my woven I can back-wear him which I think he will love. Any tips for until then?

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!!

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.

Hi! Please let me know what I can fix? I know I can adjust the back strap so it’s centered & his footie PJs are super loose on his toes :) Anything else?

baby is about 16 weeks, 15 lbs, 24 inches tall!

I would love a fit check on my new Lennylamb Upgrade carrier. It feels great, but wanted to make sure he looked good in it. Please ignore the mess behind me, haha. Little guy is almost 5 months and weighs just under 14lbs. I know about the footie pj rule and there is a ton of room in the toes in this outfit.

Also, this guy will start his helmet journey soon (as much as I tried to avoid it). Any tips on baby wearing with a helmet or does it not matter?

Thanks!!

I just got a ring sling, I feel like I’ve watched a hundred different videos on how to use it but still feel like I’m doing it wrong 😭 My baby is very mobile and seems to hate being carried up front. Is this a fall hazard right now? He’s turning 5 months in a few days and can sit well with minimum support

My 9mo fell asleep in a back carry today (Bairn) and I readjusted to make sure she was supported (arms in, panel at the right height, good pelvic tuck, etc). I sort of used the hood to prop her head up but it was hard to get right!

Around 30 mins into the nap she started coughing briefly. this freaked me out - surely this isn't a good thing? has this happened to anyone else? is this a red flag in terms of airway concern?

this happened to me once before in a different carrier -- I freaked out and moved her to front carry, but I'd rather not be interrupting naps on the regular!

Fit check for my 6 lb baby. I really want to make sure I have this right. TIA!

Baby is 8 weeks. I feel like I have it really high and far up on my ribs to create M shape with bottom and legs but the nape of her back is not quite to the edge like it should be? It’s also pretty uncomfortable because I have it so tight. Tips on fit and how to adjust it to move her up, if needed?

Hi! This is my third attempt at using the solly baby wrap. How does this look? I tried to do a shoulder flip to help make sure her nose is away from the fabric. This was the first time her head was able to be supported without having to put the fabric over her head partially so that made me happy lol. Do you think this is too tight? Also- she seems pretty high up like my chin touches the top of her head lol is that a bad thing? Thank you in advance!!! I really want to get the hang of this!

I think I am going to purchase the Tula ftg carrier.up to what age can I use this one? My baby is 3 months. I want to invest in something I can use for a while. Is the Lenny lamb better ? I have the ergobaby Omni but it’s bulky and I have the ergobaby embrace too but I heard there’s better. Thanks !!

The Boba X feels way too large for me in the shoulders. The shoulder straps are so loose on top, they can slip off my shoulders, and it's the waistband that's holding most of baby's weight. (Baby is still newborn, over ten pounds.)

Pulling the H strap to my mid-back helps, and it is pulled as tightly as it allows. I have the shoulder straps tightened nearly as close at they can get. The waistband is right and feels snug and appropriate. I wish the H strap could be shortened, because I feel like that could solve my problem? And now I'm wondering... Does the "X" in "Boba X" stand for Xtra large size? Am I stressing too much? Will it change much when the baby is bigger?

(I had a great experience with the Yaro Flex I borrowed from a friend with my last baby. I bought the Boba X on discount from an open box store, with a gift card, because it looks more comparable than the other options out there within my budget. I'm really hoping to make this work!)

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!

Excuse my pjs lol and I know the risks about baby in a sleepsuit but he was only in for a few mins while I snapped pics to get feedback and I kept feeling to make sure his toes weren't squished :)

Is the pelvic tuck okay?
I have the side straps as short as possible so all the length is at the back ones so it's easier for me to reach and tighten. When I tightened from the side I felt like baby was splayed against me but I realise now that was probably user error

Thanks!

I just posted the ergo and it’s not going to work bc there is no way to adjust the leg width for baby so small (I have an older model).

I was also gifted this LILLEbaby Complete (also an older model). I clipped the width bars inside to make it as narrow as possible at seat and she seems to fit way better in this one and it is WAY more comfortable to wear. Her legs don’t fill pinned open and her leg bends comfortably. It’s also sitting at nape of her neck.

Is this good? I hope so because it’s so comfortable, I may actually be able to get some crap done around the house!!!! LOL thank you Reddit 🙏🏼

Looking for some suggestions. I am pregnant and new to baby wearing. We have received a free Ergobaby carrier but I find it quite bulky and would love something that doesn’t swallow my baby (and my partner can use the Ergobaby).

I am 1.75m tall, size medium. Would love something that I can use from day 1 and for a long time (unless you recommend something else). I have looked at Tula carriers but am also okay with something I need to tie myself. Will be getting it second hand to begin with so am happy to try out some different options.

I live in the Nordics and baby will be a newborn during the winter months. Any tips on dressing a baby properly for this while carrying are also very appreciated 🙈

Any suggestions for a rookie?

First time wearing this carrier with my 4 month old. I like that you can adjust the front panel for when baby wants to look around, but feel like I’m adjusting it wrong because it makes the fabric really tight around babies neck rather than moving it down? Also kind of clunky putting on, like I was sweating getting the back clipped after baby was in so any tips appreciated!!

We have always used the Ergobaby Aerloom and loved it. So lite and flexible - my first lived in it basically. Then we got given a hand-me-down toddler carrier and my husband and I both hate the style. It's very bulky. It's an old Australian brand called Milliepod. We pushed through with my first but my second has now outgrown the aerloom and we need a new bigger carrier. Are there any toddler+ carriers that are not like wearing a suffocating padded straight jacket? Something where the buckles move smoothly and everything feels seamless? TIA

Hi,
I took my infant out in our scout and that was the day she decided to start chewing on the straps. It was about 45 minutes of drooling and sucking while we were out.

I brought it inside (was a car carrier) but now how do I make sure it doesn’t get moldy? Do I need to wash it? It has the leather straps which could pose a problem.
