Plus size with a big baby
Hi! This is my first post as I just stumbled upon this comm.
I'm a plus size new mom who is actively losing weight. My current proportions are 5'6" 239lbs. I have no idea what size I am because I am 13w postpartum and my body's still all funky. Probably around a 20/22.
I have a Moby Wrap and I'm not a fan. I never got good at figuring out how to wrap/tie it properly and my baby HATED experimenting with me.
I found an Evenflo Snugli on clearance at Target last night for like $18. I knew it wouldn't be a long term carrier, because, c'mon, you get what you pay for. I really just wanted to see if it would fit and how we liked it.
I actually enjoyed it. It's kind of cheap so the straps don't seem super secure, but I liked the general idea of it (structured, baby up against my chest, etc.). So I would have kept it, except that it seems too small for my big baby. He's 13 weeks and 15 pounds and the leg holes left red marks on his thighs. The whole baby carrier area of it fit him juuust right, and looked like he'd probably be too big for it in a week.
So here's what I need:
A carrier that will fit my frame,
preferably with the baby upright on my chest,
that can grow with my big baby.
THANKS!
