Hubby mentioned today that when baby is born (due at the end of July), he'd like to get a sling or other soft carrier to wear him/her in. I'm planning to a buy a Peanut Shell for myself, but because that is a fitted pouch, he won't be able to wear it. I'm thinking something really simple would be best, because I, personally, never had any luck ( Read more... )

I made my mei tai and I LOVE it, but I didn't realize how large it would need to be when I made it. It's great for my 10 month old, but I can see that it's going to be too small for her pretty soon. I'd love to make another one, but I hand-sewed this one (can't afford a machine) and it took forever and there's no way I have time to do that again ( Read more... )

Our first child is due in November, and I am trying to figure out how I can babywear during the winter. It doesn't get incredibly cold here (we are in Maryland), and not until Dec-Jan, but we are also used to a tropical climate, so it feels very cold to us! I'm not sure the best and most inexpensive way to babywear when it's cold. I took a look at ( Read more... )

I have just been sifting through the archives trying to find a link to this one site that actually had a comparison chart of the baby carriers and methods. It seemed to compare things like ease of use, versitility and comfort I think. I have some back problems and already have two more mainstream carriers neither of which work very well for me ( Read more... )

I just bought a Mei Tai and was looking around for instructions on different kinds of carries. I found this site: http://www.kozycarrier.homestead.com/instructions.html There are tons of pictures in addition to step-by-step instructions to all kinds or carries, ( Read more... )

For those who have talked to me before, you probably already know that I suffer with chronic pain and have some problems with my joints, my back and my hips. Seeing a chiropractor regularly has really helped my problems with migraines, and reduced the severe spams in my back from almost daily to a few times a month. However, my hip seems to be ( Read more... )
